#85 Travelogue Tukey: Try something new
▶️ Without the many new things to try, travelling would be half as interesting. Let’s explore 🇹🇷Turkey for some weird stuff:
Unripe melons
The taste is cucumber plus x, and it is eaten with a dash of salt. Quite special, especially when sold by unripe people!
Carob
Chocolate hanging down from a tree? Yes, this fruit has a chocolatey flavour indeed but think of it more as a wood-flavoured chocolate.
Mussels
This iconic Izmir street food is enjoyed with lemon juice. ‘Enjoyed’ of course only if you’re into seafood.
Atom Tea
Wipe out all the germs and viruses that trouble you in one go. Boom!
Situation
Apparently this refers to a drink. Hot or cold, alcoholic or not – maybe that’s up to the situation.
