		<description><![CDATA[Since I do cover the alimentary canal, I feel compelled to talk about Turkish toilets. Trust me, you will always want those over the Western ones, which are neither as clean nor as sanitary. And if you’re a hoverer, they’re perfect. What amused me was seeing women always lining up for the Western ones when [...]]]></description>

Including on Smorgasburg, where it was disturbing to see youngstahs building businesses on unsustainable ingredients. (Garlic from China? What, no exploding melons were available for rind-pickling?)]]></description>

It’s a surprisingly complex cuisine and still evolving. I could resist acting like a typical American and [...]]]></description>

Otherwise I would have been prepared. Cats were literally everywhere. By the second day I was counting (72), [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Language was a real barrier. Almost no one spoke English, including cabdrivers and waiters. Luckily, the amazing Attaturk made everyone switch from Arabic letters when he force-birthed the republic in 1923, so at least it was relatively easy to decipher signs (the only two words I was sure of after seven days, though, were Bay [...]]]></description>

Because of the heat, he and someone else warned me off the tempting stuffed mussels [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I broke my self-imposed internet rehab only long enough to connect with the smart guys at Istanbul Eats and learned that not everyone is happy to see the local cooking school training students in soufflés and other “Continental” conceits. My three years without using my passport must have made me more tolerant of globalization, because [...]]]></description>

So of course the first one I encountered, in the airport that makes JFK look like Rwanda, was beyond super-sleek (and no wonder: when I got in line to hand [...]]]></description>

People flowed by in tsunamis in that city of 17 million (by one estimate), but Bob and I might as well have been invisible. I wore sundresses and only got flak at the Blue Mosque, from the flesh police; [...]]]></description>
