    I've just come back from Izmir, and we took a day trip to Ephesus (Efes) which was beautiful. The Turkish food there was soo good, very similar to what you have but with more fish and seafood, especially around Kusadasi and Bodrum. Definitely a top 5 cuisine for me; Indian, Turkish, Mexican, Thai, Moroccan in that order!

    I can make the Greek equivalent of the rice pudding. We call it Rizogolo. One of my fave desserts!! I'll have to make it for you next time I'm over. Absolutely great seeing you back in gorgeous London and on Daisy. 🏍 Loved it!!

    My local DJ. They do a great mixed Chicken & Lamb doner wrap with all the salads. Their rice pudding is some of the best Ive ever had. They have one at the bottom of Brick Lane and opposite they also have a place just making and selling Turkish Pide. An East End institution!

  • @Giuseppe-fv9dr

    That sound you made when taking the first bite of the chicken, I do that and the Mrs tells me off. She obviously doesn’t appreciate good food like I do. Turkish restaurants around me have all upped their game and are consistently full even on slower beginning of the week days.
