A lesson in etiquette

Above shows the stuff at the salad bar...notice there's not much that's familiar..

One piece of advice to those dining in a restaurant in Turkey - even if you are full, eat it. Even if you're on a diet, eat it. Just eat it.

Today the group went to lunch and we had a prearranged menu of salad, soup, and a plate of lamb meatballs. Well, it feels like we've just eaten all week, but I knew I had to at least TRY...and that's what I did. Well, the Turkish are very hospitable and want you to be happy...and didn't the manager come out and ask me why I didn't like the soup. Unfortunately I haven't mastered the Turkish phrase "I'm stuffed"...
