Wowowowowowowowowow~~~~
So for the last little while I've been travelling around and had the opportunity to try all the delicious treats and sweets and yummy goodness that this trip affords. So far I've been in India and Turkey and mmmmmmmmmmm.....so much good food to be had.
Since I've mostly a vegetarian, I've definitely prefered the food in India over Turkey (cause damn they eat a lot of meat in Turkey!~they love the kebab) but the dish that stands out the most from Turkey was Gozleme...which is basically Turkish crepes...It's not too prominent in the city (Istanbul) but once you get to the countryside it's everywhere....usually there's a group of women working over this big hot curved griddle. Some of them are making the dough, some rolling it out and then one or two cooking it....They make all sorts but the "norm" is with a bunch of Feta....many also get spinach but I gotta stay away from that cause it and me are not digestive friends.....anyways it was delicioso!!!! I only spent two weeks in Turkey but the other thing that I absolutely *loved* was Hot-jacket potatoes, this is basically the turkish version of the twice-baked potato(except a little different) which believe it or not I had not actually eaten before, and in truth the ones in America never looked as appetizing as these...but yum yum yum yum yum, this was my dinner almost every night in Istanbul. And OH Yeah, Turkish Delight really is as good as they say it is in The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe
And then Food from India...again....lots and lots of WOW goes here!!! I hadn't eaten too much Indian food before my trip here besides the obligatory dahl and samosas and such but OMG what amazing food!!!! It's so good and getting the chance to travel all around the country affords me an ever-changing menu of new items. Things I have loved so far and I encourage you to try at an Indian restaurant near you (caution check out the reviews and such~just so you don't have a bad experience...one good tip for choosing a place here is if a lot of Indian people are eating there, it's probably good)....OK here's my list of deliciousness so far~note spelling may vary based on region:
Alu Paratha with Raita(yogurt)
Masala Dosa (or Cheese too)
Vegetable Biryani
Vegetable Thali
Channa Masala
Alu Gobi
Mango Lassi, and really any kind of fruit Lassi
Vegetable Samosa
Pani Puri
Bhel Puri
Paneer Roll
that's all I got so far b/c I can't remeber the rest but it's all super tasty.....the one dish I hated was Palak Paneer (but didn't know it was loaded with spinach~ and I had it in Bombay and an Indian friend said he's never had good Palak Paneer in Bombay)
Anyways enjoy! I will try to find and take and post some pictures of these yummy treats
