 For a true Istanbul’lu snack, head down to the ferry port in Eminonu. All year long, there are four or five boats docked there with huge grills on them, and on those grills are the tastiest fish to be found in Turkey. For 4 Tl. you can get a balik (fish) sandwich from the merrily costumed [... Ode to Balik(s)!]  One of the reasons I think people travel, is to get out of their comfort zone. There is no place better to do this than China. I’ve been to China on numerous occasions, and it has never failed to show me something new and exotic. Very much like the U.S., China is so big that you [... Time-Lapse China]  The fortress overlooking Velinko Turnovo. Bulgaria is full of quaint little charasmatic towns and Velinko Turnovo might just be the cutest. As we drove in, we stopped to talk to a shepherd with a small goat flock. He was right on the edge of town, and as we chatted with him, we could also view the [... The Best Restaurant in the Cutest Town]  Chicken wrapped around pork…something to cluck about! I really didn’t know what to expect as far as Bulgarian food goes. Maybe a cross between borsht, gyros, and kofte. To be honest, even though I was looking forward to trying it, I really didn’t have high expectations. After living in the Turkey, where the food is never, [... Who Let the Cows Out?!] A Whitebait patty New Zealanders like fish and on the west coast one of their favorite types is called Whitebait. Whitebait is featured in many restaurants and cafes throughout the region. It’s not adult fish, because it is harvested in the November when it is still smelt. We had to try this local delicacy and once [... Fishing for Whitebait] Yet another post not for vegetarians! (What does this say about me? Am I too obsessed with meat?) Cute and tasty! Deer meat. In the U.S. we have a number of men who like to wake up early, put on some bright orange and camouflage clothing, load up their guns and head out to the woods where [... Look Who’s Coming to Dinner!] #gallery-1 { Konya is known for a number of things, most notably the whirling dervishes of the Sufi sect. We had already visited a dervish show, so this time we were here for the food. The city is also well-known for its meat [... Eating in Konya–Always the Right Choice] Making gozleme for us. As we drove north out of Silifke, we stopped at every tomb on the way. It took us much longer than we expected, and before we knew it, it was time for lunch. Last time we didn’t eat and we were forced (through hunger and desperation) to buy some gozleme from the [... A Forest Retreat for Lunch]  The spices and homemade wine make this one of the best eats in Goreme. The Dibek resaraunt is conveniently located right in the center of Goreme, which of course is where you find the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cappadocia. After a tiring slog up, down, around and through rock chapels galore, an evening at Dibek will [... Dibek…A Restaurant Review] So today is World Blog Surf Day, and my task is to talk about food. Tough one. Not really something I think about often….just all day long. Lucky for me, I live in one of the food meccas of the world. Turkish cuisine ranks up there with the best. Not only do I love it, but I [... Food and World Blog Surf Day] |
