I forgot to tell you there were a couple other spots we hit up before dinner.For some sweets we passed by a really good place know for its rice pudding called Safideen.Now mind you we are still a bit stuffed from everything else and Tyson is no doubt done.The place is small with a refrigerator filled with different sizes and types of rice pudding,but then i notice something brown hanging throughout the place.Curious I ask Tyson its actually beef.Its Basterma a garlic preserved beef which is dried cured shot with doses of garlic.Using a vintage slicer I try a couple slices and its definitely garlic forward , this would be great on a charcuterie plate with a a soft cheese to cut the strong garlic taste,too bad you cant get it in the states.We grab a small container of the pudding say our thanks and head out.Done just right creamy no raisins just rice cream,sugar flat out good!(Sorry no pic).Next place is to see a local butcher shop to just see how meat is sold around here to the locals.Supermarket?AH NO!Small with legs of lamb adorned the shop while two men cut lamb,beef,veal into pieces for customers with old school scales,your order thrown in a bag and out the door you go.
