Turkey

And then to Turkey.  Istanbul to be specific.  
Calamari...since we're by the sea.

Honey cut from the comb for breakfast.

This is basically what I had everyday.  Feta cheese, honey, turkey, bread, and potatoes.  Add olives and tomatoes and you got what we had in Greece!
Yes, there is a Burger Turk.  And it does have the "Big Ottoman Meal." And, yes, the burger's taste like rubber. 
We were disappointed at first for the Spice Market and the Grand Bazaar.  This is all we saw!  Just like a flea market, with a special emphasis on animal food.

Then we finally made it in!  Whew!  This is the Spice Market in Istanbul, with everything you can imagine including dried fruits...
...and nougats and turkish delights...

...not to mention spices.
So much, so we sat and ate a little falafal.

Down the street from our hotel we had shish kabob.

And chicken.  I know.  Not Turkish.

Pommogranates and doners - turned meat on a spit still, but a different sandwich.

Doner close up.
Cool little fish market in New Town.

Some delicious ravioli in turkish tomato sauce.

Some mayonez and ketcap.

Our airplane meal on Lufthansa.  I, for one, usually enjoy airline meals.  I've only had one really bad one, but look at the bread and we got German chocolate, too!
