Interesting foods...

Some interesting foods...

Delicious Turkish foods at the local grocery store.  I finally found dark chocolate :)

Yogurt that comes in gallon containers (actually the metric system, but I forgot to check)

Quail eggs for breakfast, anyone?
 
Street food is quite popular among the NEH scholars.  There are many of these kiosks around the city--the Doner Kebap.  A tightly packed mix of meats cooked vertically, shaved off and put into a wrap with fixings.  You can see the fruit stand--fresh squeezed juices after an afternoon of walking...Yum!

Some tasty Turkish desserts...lots of honey and nuts, especially pistachios. 

I have no idea what it was called...but delicious!  Éclair type pastries drowned in chocolate.

Lentil soup with pita bread. 
 
Good thing I bought a Turkish cookbook here...I can't wait to try out some new recipes.
