Eating in Cappadocia

I love Turkish food, as is evident by my weight gain in the last 20 months. The bread, the spices, even the lamb (which I've never cared for before).  The food in Cappadocia was a little different than what we get here in Adana, but it was still yummy.

At our first stop, the underground city, we found these great snacks. They're spiral-cut potatoes on a skewer and they're fried up like potato chips. Simple, tasty, and just a little different for novelty's sake.


Later, we went to lunch at a restaurant in Goreme.






I can't seem to caption the pictures. :(  We started with the requisite bread. You know bread is good when Ben digs into it.  The boys were so excited that they were each able to get their own pizza...until it showed up with sliced tomatoes on top.  Lizzy got pasta. Keri got cigar borek (cheese wrapped in a very thin dough). Ben and I got testi kebap which is cooked in clay pots which they open at the table for you.  His was lamb. Mine was chicken. They both had tomatoes, peppers, and mushrooms in them. It was all very good.

The great food continued for the next day and a half, but there's no more pictures. I really am going to miss Turkish food when we leave.
