Turkish Street Food

Tony and I love to try the local street food wherever we journey, and as Turkey is famous for its street food,  we knew we would be in for another moving feast.

We tried the Shwarma, which we can easily get in London, but it was important to try it at the source.  The one thing we didn't get to try was the fish from the floating grill restaurants at the port.  It looked and smelled amazing however.

We did try Gozleme, which is a bit like a burrito crossed with a crepe.  It is a very thinly rolled out dough, that is cooked on a griddle and filled with various items.  Ours was filled with goat cheese, and burning hot off the griddle.

Pomegranates are also big in this region, and we had to have a glass of fresh Pomegranate juice.  We hoped that any potential bugs that we might get from our food adventures might be offset by the vitamins in the juice. 













Delicious if a bit sour.

I highly recommend trying the street food in your travels.  If you are reasonably careful, you can have some terrific food at a good price and have an amazing adventure.
