We had dinner with a Turkish family in their home this evening. I asked the translator the question: "What is the one thing you wish Americans knew about Turkey?"
The translator and the family all immediately said they wished that Americans knew about the Turkish hospitality.
Tonight was a perfect example of the hospitality. This family, whose English is limited, had ten of us for dinner. That's no small task when you are preparing numerous courses for dinner - salad, eggplant, soup, stuffed peppers, rice pilaf, chicken, beans, etc. etc. The dinner took three hours and they gave us gifts afterwards. The family was extraordinarily kind, as have all of the citizens of Turkey we have met.
