Could they manage a decent martini?

DAMN, that sounds good. Goddamn.

I always said that the only good food in Germany was the Turkish food. But it sounds better in Turkey.

I love Turkish food but also, sadly, fear the nut-laden-ness of it, as I'm allergic. (Really. It's not some weird phobia. I loved nuts, but can't eat 'em.) The wife says that we should go there anyway and just get some nut-warning notices translated into the local language, like we did for Hungary.

Martinis? Don't even ask. I drank a six-pack of Efes Pilsner.

Imagine our surprise yesterday afternoon when, in response to something I said, our guide whipped his own special çiğ köfte recipe out of his wallet!
