Adventure #11 - Eat a new ethnic food each month - January

Turkey provided the opportunity to try new dishes.  Some of the items were not new because I had tried them at Shannon's Turkish teas.  The food was so much better than the food in Europe.  It was less salty and had less fat.  There were lots of vegetables and local fruits available at all meals.  Yes - even vegetables at breakfast.  I loved the tomato and cucumber salads that I could eat for breakfast and missed them when I returned home!
Part of the unique dining experience at this 5 star hotel was the additional meal time guests - the 2 cats!  The cats would rub up against your legs and just look at you and Meow!  Occasionally the cats would hiss and spat at one another.  It was a little disconcerting to also see the birds sitting on the fresh bread that was put out for all meals.  Definately a new dining experience!
