FRUITS AND DESSERTS

Now you've eaten a big meal and want some dessert. If you want to emulate your Turkish hosts, eat fruit. Sweet desserts are saved for a snack or for teatime. Melons are wonderful, peaches especially white ones are to die for (legend has it that it was the peach, not the golden apple that figures in the story of Paris and Helen of Troy), grapes of course and don't forget apricots. Sour cherries are very special in Turkey. Try some of the sour cherry preserves. Also the honey is very very good. Especially honey coming from the Eastern Turkish region of Kars.

Pastry in Turkey. Don't think only of baklava, there are sultans , a sausage shaped pastry with coconut in citrus flavors, yummy, chestnut chocolates from Kafka in Istanbul. And then there is Turkish Delight (lokum) known all over the world. There are also puddings (thanks here to Villa Rhapsody who told about them in a recent post). Noah's Ark pudding has a startling variety of ingredients including white beans, chick peas and pomegranates. Also kunefe, a fried dessert with cheese. Turkish ice cream is fabulous. Often homemade and in a variety of flavors it is good tasty treat for tired travelers. Why not have some pistachio ice cream in the home of pistachios.
