| Shopping in the Grand Bazaar and Spice Market |
 |
| Simit: popular street vendor bread served with nutella |
 |
| Fresh squeezed orange juice |
 |
| Dolma: pickled grape leaves stuffed with rice |
 |
| Entrees cooked in clay pots that the diner then cracks open to eat |
 |
| Typical Turkish breakfast at the hotel |
One afternoon/evening in Istanbul, we went on a guided food tour of the city (both continents). It was a suggestion by the trip master (my dad) well-received by the trip serfs.
 |
| Lentil soup (special for me instead of lamb soup) |
 |
| Oysters sold on the street with choice of different sauces |
 |
| Eggplant with sizzling butter drizzle (instead of lamb gyros for me) |
 |
| Lavas: flatbread filled with hot air, very popular |
 |
| Typical Turkish small dishes (all vegetarian) |
 |
| Another typical Turkish vegetarian sampler |
 |
| And another! |
 |
| Sticky dessert surreptitiously made from chicken |
 |
| Rice pudding and more |
 |
| Baklava was abundant |
 |
| So many different Turkish Delight options |
 |
| Dondurma: goat's milk ice cream made extremely thick by ground orchid flowers, similar to the "stretchy" ice cream popularly sold by rambunctious Turkish street vendors |
