Turkish Delights

By now you can probably tell that one of our major loves of travel is food...so here is a little summary of what we have indulged in so far in Turkey:

- Turkish Cay (pronounced like chai in India)...they even have vendors who sell it at the parks. What a nice way to spend a spring day.
- Turkish kaveci (Turkish coffee)
- Kebaps (chicken, meatballs, beef)
- Baklava
- Pide Doner (meat sandwich, think gyro minus the sauce)
- Cheese, glorious cheese!! (from feta to cheddar to salty mozzarela)
- Olives
- Sweets (from rice pudding to keskul, which is a yummy white mush of sweetness)
- Ayran (yogurt drink)
- Stuffed veggies
- Simit (bagels sold by street vendors)
- Fresh fish (from sandwiches to squid to sole)
- Dried fruits and nuts
- Stawberries!! Everywhere...
- Turkish delight - our new favorite we found in a small village that has saffron flavored T.D.

I could go on and on, but it`s about time for another cup of tea about now...
