You’d be forgiven for thinking I’d abandoned this blogging venture for good. Alas, no, I’m just in Turkey.

Armed with my love hate relationship with my lonely planet and some great eating recommendations it’s been a gastronomic highlight so far, and definitely an antidote for the arteries to France’s wine,cheese, white bread and pastries.

Tonight it was salad and a lamb sis in a pita roll (durum). All washed down with the obligatory cay (tea) of course! The salad was my favorite so far, fresh lettuce and sweet tomato chunks mixed with sliced chillies, onion and perhaps sumac. All for less than what it costs bus ride in London, the salad I should say.
