Istanbul food and…

Just walk around the city and try all different kinds of Istanbul food. It comes from many different countries and definitely has things you will enjoy. These are just some ideas that might be interesting.

Turkish delights are typical Istanbul food
probably the most famous type of food in turkey is what they call “Turkish delight”. You will see the shops all over Istanbul and other cities in Turkey. They are sweet things with fruits and nuts and a variety of different ingredients in all different kinds of mixtures, hundreds of them.
Stage doctors?
This was just kind of funny. So are these doctors real or are they just acting on a stage?
Palestinian and Istanbul food
this is just a political comment at what seemed to be a Palestinian owned restaurant.
Coffee and cake
in the afternoons I found that a cup of coffee with some kind of cake was just a very special treat
Istanbul food in stalls
This is in one of the squares with the Metro Station and different food stalls around. It was a cold rainy day
Large vehicle on the street
Many of the streets are very old and not really made for these large vehicles
Traditional Istanbul food
a very interesting meat and vegetable dish and you will see the usual rotten tomato and another vegetable on the plate with some yellow pickled peppers which I really love, the vinegar and salty flavor just really helps pick up the taste buds
Washing regulations
This is the first time I ever saw a warning not to wash clothes in the hotel room. I won’t tell you whether or not I obey the sign
a Chinese bowl of noodles
This was a Chinese noodle soup with bell peppers and mushrooms. It required a little more flavor which I didn’t have on hand
Coffee and lemon cake as istanbul food
Another day at the café with some lemon cake
Beware of dog sign
This is the Turkish equivalent of “beware of dog”
Asian foods
This is very typical outside of an Asian country. People from some Asian country set up a restaurant and mix up all different countries foods
A local church
a local church with very heavy guards, police and army, outside
Christmas tree
very secular
Church interior
Inside the church
Five star Thai food
I didn’t try this restaurant. It seemed as though it was sort of nouveau Thai food

A beautiful old hotel
