Love the little boy and his kofte - brilliant. Am spending a lot of time among 19th century travellers in Asia Minor in London Library - mostly archeologists looking for Greco-Roman, but they do talk about what's growing and what they ate...so I send pics of the pages to Gamze and she recognises what's still there (much unchanged, earthquake excepted...).
Great memories of one of the world’s great food towns. I love those raw lamb kebabs. In a lively urban park in gaziantep my hostess made them as we talked and occasionally pitched one into the open mouth of a little boy who was standing by, agape.

Okey dokey. I had Gamze check names/spellings etc...Turkish not easy. The beans dish reminded me of Boston baked but without the bacon.

Beans with pomegranate molasses please. Not mad on okra
A fascinating, czptivating post. Wish I'd been there too. Regards to Gamze
