FOOD!

Okay here's the skinny on thing that will make you fat (see what I did there)
Beef is rarely seen on menus
There is a special type of fish here that is only found in the Aegean Sea so you can only get it in Turkey and Greece. It is pretty good. I really don't taste a difference honestly.  Fun Fact though if you order fish you get the whole thing head and tail in all.
Turkish meatballs are really good. They are basically normal meatballs except they are made with lamb. (They are very big on lamb here).
Gyros are delicious. They put french fries in them. (They also do this with sandwiches). 
Ice cream is always good but the texture is a little grainy.
Italian pizza is pretty much the same but they don't put any sauce on it.
Turkish pizza is one of my favorite dishes. It is pitta bread with vegetables, beef (only in some places), lamb, and cheese.
Pergamon cheese is like a Turkish queso. It's melted goat cheese with olive oil or butter that you eat with pitta bread. The goat cheese here is very mild.
Desert is interesting. One night we had a flan type thing which I did not care for. Another night we had fruit-green plums, which look like large green cherries and are very bitter; orange plums which are a little bigger and have lots of seeds, apparently they only grow for one month a year and are also kind of bitter. They have these small cake type things (when I say small I mean bite sized) that are soaked in honey, these are really good. But the best of all is a waffle with nutella and strawberries, it is folded into a cone shape.
Izlac burgers are really good. It is lamb on a bun with a little bit of marinara and cheese.
Kabobs are always good. 
Here are the weird foods that I have tried. At the restaurant we stopped at in Taksim we somehow ordered yogurt water which is exactly what it sounds like yogurt watered down to a liquid. It's really gross. And David just pointed to something on the menu and it turned out to be cow tongue. I tried it when we weren't quite sure what it was, it's not too bad but it's really tough. (the menu was in turkish and they brought over the english menu after we ordered)
Our guide told us to try this really greasy food that wasn't too bad but turned out to be lamb intestines.
There is also a dish that I'm not even going to try to spell.  It's basically a baked potato.  I didn't order one but David and Niha did. They bring out a list of toppings, the only problem is that the list is in Turkish so Niha ended up with yogurt (among other toppings) on her's. She said it wasn't too bad, I don't believe her.
The dish that I have been having for breakfast is a noodle type thing with goat cheese and it's really good. 
That is all of the food items that I can think of. If I get something new I will post about it.

P.S. I am working on getting pictures up
