Bike stomach: we gained 5 pounds in Turkey

It’s true, Turkish food is not good for your waistline, but damn it’s yummy! Here is some more food porn from Turkey!

Mezze plate at a seafood restaurant.

Amazing grilled calamari. Everything is sprinkled with pistachios!

Spices and grains at a market in Selçuk.

Stuffed mussels, delicious street food available all along the coastal cities.

Kumru sandwich, made with fried cheese. Invented in Çeşme, but we had two in Izmir.

Gözleme, similar to a Mexican quesadilla but a bit fluffier, wrapped up or sliced into squares. Stuffed with cheese, potatoes, or spinach.

Some kind of decadent dessert in Çeşme.

Typical white cheese and vegetables to accompany a glass a rakı.

That’s all for now, hope you are enjoying these posts and I’m not making you too hungry! Next edition: Greece!
