My Fishy Enounter
Okay I really like fish, which is good considering I'm in a sea town. But I have never ever had fish served to me like this:
Yep! That is a whole fish; head, eyes, brain.. the whole nine yards. The good thing was that this presentation didn't stop me from eating most of the fish. I got to the eyes and just couldn't do it. It was like they were staring at me pleading with me not to eat them. However, my host family made me eat the fish brain. My host sister showed me how to get that part of the head and then she just sucked the brain out of the fish's head. Needless to say, I could not simply suck the brain out, so I scraped it out with my knife. I have to say it was good!(once you got past the fact that you were eating a brain)
Gotta love the food here!

Monica, Thank you for the great posts. It is exciting to hear about your encounters with a completely different culture and to experience Turkey through your words.

Mrs. Blakely and Heisty say hi. At least Mrs. Blakely says Micheal says hi. Eat the eyes next time, will you?
ReplyDeleteHi Monica! I spent 10 days in China, and I didn't have a fish or a chicken that didn't have all its parts on the plate! Interesting, isn't it? I couldn't eat the eyes, either, unless they were in something and I didn't know I ate them! Your blogs are WONDERFUL! What a great experience you are having! I'm so proud of you & happy for you!
