I will not hide it - I am jealous. Very very jealous to Robyn and David traveling around Black Sea region of Turkey, eating all the way and - Robyn through her writing and David through his photograpy - making us the rest of us want to get on a plan, train, boat or bus to get us to the same table they are feasting at. What’s the deal with the Black Sea, you ask.
Inebolu Pazar, February: Green Wild Signs of Spring
Inebolu Pazarı: Shop in Istanbul Like a Local
Inebolu pazarı taking place on Sundays in Kasımpaşa, where villagers from the Black Sea bring their produce for sale, initially was more of myth to me. Villagers coming late at night to set up the market before the dawn and wrap up by the time most of the Istanbulites would even consider getting up on Sunday. Top chefs hand-picking fresh village-grown produce. Legends from the fairy-talish Black Sea brought in the little vans, large baskets and deep dark eyes. Can that be? Got up at 6 am last Sunday to check out.
