A couple of interesting items.

1.  Turkish or Greek coffee asks this article from NPR.  I've had both, and prefer Americano.  I know there are other disagreements in this part of the world about food and their origins.  Yogurt for example.  Presently Greek yogurt is the marketing meme du jour.  Yet Yogurt is a Turkish word. What's with that?

2.  Saw this on the Hurrieyet Daily News.  An interesting exhibit, unfortunately ends about five weeks too soon for us.
