Street Food in Istanbul
Istanbul is a great place to find find cheap, fun food on the street.
Kebab shops are two a penny. Street vendors selling barbecued sweet
corn and roasted chestnuts are just as prevalent as are shops selling
amazing pastries that look so bad for you they must be delicious.
Bagel machines and mussel sellers were equally hard to avoid!
Not wanting to return back from the epicentre of the kebab world
without having eaten a genuine donner Cowie relented and allowed me to
have a kebab on the last day. We did plenty of research and decided
that we would eat directly opposite our apartment... just in case. We
found a store which had a constant stream of locals walking away
stuffing their faces and thought that they must be popular for a
reason. The more trade they get the fresher their kebab must be...
hopefully!
Here are the action shots... worthy of a chapter in Lonely Planet!
And here's the video, worthy of the Discovery Channel
