OMG The Food!

I mentioned yesterday about our wonderful eggplant dish but failed to tell you about the baklava.  All I can say is I've never had it so good.

So today's delights included a lunch recommended by our guide.  I had a lamb intestine sandwich, Cathy had a fresh salad, we shared an order of stuffed mussels, and each had a large mug of lager.  Our per person tab ran about $8 for all that.  But more important the food was soooo good.

At dinner Cathy and I ate at a RS recommended restaurant atop the ancient city wall near the mouth of the Bosporous.  We both had the same thing, Topkepi Kebab which was a spicy stew of grilled meat, grilled veggies, spices and topped with cheese.  It kinda looked like a deep dish pizza without the crust.  That, plus two appetizers and two deserts ran a whopping $12-$13 each.  And with a view of the sea.  Try to beat that Olive Garden.  If only our gastronomical fortunes can carry on like this...
