Sunday Turkish Breakfast

Today, I had a really great breakfast. I'm so happy! :)

Everything started when I decided to walk in this beautiful Sunday afternoon. I found a new grocery shop: they have tons of breads, fruits, vegetables, etc.. Olives!!! I think Americans don't eat olive, I mean there is something like calamari olives (zeytin tursusu?!), it's not same what we're eating in Turkey. They have some feta cheese you can't find everywhere, it's not same with our cheese.. And bread? Some kind of bread, not like European bread. But I'm a bread person, I love bread, pasta, etc..

But today, I bought kind of original olives, cheese, and a green vegetable. I don't know it's name. I never saw that in New York before. When I saw that vegetable in the grocery I'm literally said "Oh my God! I love you!"

I had a great Turkish breakfast, it's a beautiful day.. =)

My Turkish breakfast: goat cheese, tomatoes, olives, cucumber, yummy bread, and green vegetable

Looks delicious. I eat very often Turkish food. And that is because in the neighborhood were I live there are a lot of Turks. To me that is a original Turkish food, but that could be because I do not not the real food from your country. But by asking the locals or real Turkish origin, they tell me what is the most closest to the real Mediterranean food. I love olives, and I've been able to find some very strange varieties. The same goes with breads, and also with vegetables... And that makes me wonder what is the name of that vegetable you fall in love with. :) The Russian food stores carry many of the foods from the Mediterranean region, at least that is what happens here in the Republic of Brooklyn. :)
