I left from the table for a while for the lavabo and when I got back to table, I really surprised. I thought I sat the wrong place but selcuk bey was there and asked me to sit. I sat and looked at the table with a surprised face. I was sure that I ordered only a piece lasagna, but there were a lot of things on the table. Selcuk bey ordered two stuffed mutton balls with a piece olive oily mixed farci for us. There is more, a portion tuna salad with a portion french fries.
I wanted to eat some dessert instead of eating a lot of things like a pig. I am already not a gourmand person, I don’t like to eat so much. So as a matter of course, I generally order food as much as I can finish. I don’t want to waste it. But this time I couldn’t do it, because it was really so much that one person – especially a person like me- never could finish it. Unfortunately, I wasted it.
The customer was really terrific at eating. He ate up all portions. What is more, he ordered two different kind of desserts with a teapot Turkish tea. Masallah to him..
I really don’t miss kebabs and salads so much but desserts. I miss milky desserts so much. Rice pudding, kazandibi (pudding with a caramel base), tavuk gogsu, chicken breast pudding and many other milky puddings.. I don’t like baklava (a kind of sweet pastry with nuts) and dessets like baklava.
I prefer to go ‘Bolulu Hasan Usta’ a famous sweet seller in Turkey ) to eat sweets instead of Gulluoglu or Seyidoglu (both are famous places for their baklava and baklava syle sweets). It is better for me to prefer milky sweets, because I can prepare these sweets thanks to ready-packet puddings. I have never thought to make baklava or sekerpare (small cakes with syrup), because it is not easy to cook them. Only a master can prepare baklava. It is also need a lot of time to prepare it. Maybe only a piece of baklava with some ice-cream can be eaten with zest, at least for me, otherwise, I am already not able to finish more than three pieces.
Turkish delight may be counted a bit heavy just like baklava when we compare milky sweets. I would like to eat Turkish-delight with a cup of Turkish coffee. it is more delicious like this.
This summer, if I get back to Turkey, I will definitely visit Bolulu or Mado to eat sweets as much I want. : ) If you have chance to visit Turkey one day, dont forget to taste Turkish sweets as well after eating your great Turkish meals.
