Just returned from a trip with family, including small kids & a dog. The most useful things I packed: 1. Plastic baggies 2. Picture books 3. Pocket knife to cut up food on the road 4. Turkish towel (which the kids used for a blanket, a tent, a cape…) www.amazon.com/Hefty-Baggie...

It has some really great ideas and themes, but yeah, as an adult we may be more critical. As a kid I remember drooling at the thought of Turkish delight without even knowing what one was.

Is “turkish delight” the world’s only ironically-named food?

ACTUAL SPOILER DON'T READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED . . . . . . . One of the major characters is a night club owner who is secretly Greek but poses as Turkish and is a successful businessman but has to resort to desperate measures when his mother gets dementia and starts speaking Greek.

well, it might count as spoiler but one of the major charcters is called İsmet Denizer, and co-creator of the show is Rana Denizer, daughter of a Turkish/Jewish couple

btw have you seen the Turkish Netflix series "The Club"? 1950s Istanbul from the perspective of Sephardic Jews but also partly set during the Istanbul Pogrom and with major Greek characters (including crypto-Greeks pretending to be Turkish to avoid persecution)

Can’t decide who this portrait of Ataturk looks like (spotted in a Turkish restaurant tonight). Maybe Vincent Price as Ataturk?
