Dear patient blog readers,
I have had a wonderful time here as have my compatriots. We are busy, so these posts may be few and far between. Nonetheless, I feel it is my duty to relate the extreme positive vibe I have received from the food here in Istanbul. Meat is plentiful, vegetables are rare, and the tea is amazing. I believe I have already eaten more bread in the last 10 days than in the last 10 months and, for those who know me, that’s actually pretty substantial. The Turkish individual seems to enjoy a small sandwich stuffed full of meat, French fries, lettuce, tomatoes, plus a variety of sauces, peppers and cheeses. Their soup is, as John V. puts it, “The Real Deal!” They also have fantastic desserts. Baklava is all it’s made out to be and more. There is also an exquisite collection of other pastries and ice creams. In short, none of us will starve. Please continue to think of us as we stuff our faces and loosen our belts.
Lance
