Over the last few months I have a a very poor appetite. So I have taken to eating unconventional meals - such as a couple of starters instead of a main meal. Last night I decided to go to a nice fish restaurant for their big bowl of fish soup with big lumps of fish in it (and, of course, the compulsory half a loaf) and then off, a couple of hundred yards away, to my favourite gozlemeci for a kiymali. Both places were non-alcoholic so no extras there. Total cost for the combined meal 18TL which at today's exchange rate is £4.31 - nearly, just a bit less. Cheap fella to take out, I am. But tonight I think I'll splash £10 on a steak (and see how much of it I can manage).
UK Post Office Survey says Turkey this year getting too expensive for Brits. Yeah.
