Istanbul 2

Day One of Istanbul Food Quest in pictures...




Tahinli, creamy and buttery cinnamon roll-like pastry with sesame





Sucuk Ekmek, traditional sausage sandwich




Related video, our experience was a bit less elaborate.

Dondurma, creamy thick pistachio and chocolate ice cream



Kestane, smoked chestnuts


Coffee




This one deserves an explanation: After this guy walked by us I whispered to Cindhu, "Check out that amazing mustache behind you" and within a few seconds (he may have overheard me) he stepped up to me, took me by the arm and gestured for Cindhu to take a picture. One of the more magical moments of the trip.

Mixed fruit turkish delight

Not so delighted



Mohti Restaurant

Anchovy bread, possibly the worst thing we've eaten. Ever.

Georgian pastry, light dumpling of dough, potato, and cheese

Muhlama, essentially cheese grits with brown butter

After dinner tea
