"Sometimes, I like, feel bad for people who don't live here"

Is it because they don't have the pleasure of kumpir? Julie's favorite.



A giant baked potato overflowing with a bounty toppings, which may include; cheese, black olives, pickles, cabbage, hot dogs, yogurt sauce, pasta salad, corn, ketchup, "and so on, and so on, and..." That's right, 5.5 TL.


The picking of the toppings, not always so simple in Turklish.




Mmmm. Afiyet olsun!




Or maybe it's the local bazaar, every Saturday in our neighborhood.


Bras, underwear, carrots, spinach.

Or should I say, local bizarre.



But this IS the real reason we feel bad for them.
