I never drink anything but Turkish coffee when I am in TR. I am not a fan of baklava. It's too sweet. But a lot of people would die for it if it's fresh.

I get it at a Greek place called Gyro Cafe and it's good but very hard, almost impossible to cut up, are you supposed to pick it up with your fingers? |

It is a pastry that you are supposed to eat with your hands. Unless you're one of these people: |

Hnefahogg , ayatollah , You eat baklava with small forks. If it's fresh, it's soft enough to be cut through with metal.

I have never eaten it in a restaurant and must have been served it by peasants who gave me no utensils. ![[tongue]](http://storage.proboards.com/6870873/images/IgLQhqrYFakygiihCBvT.gif) j/k |

The gyros tasted good to me, but this makes me wonder if they actually were what they were supposed to be. Maybe I just got some bad baklava. Just like Billy Hayes when he was trying to leave Istanbul. |

If that was what you described it was, he would get stoned in Turkey. |

They know that they have plenty of customers who know what it's supposed to taste like. I think I just got leftover stuff from an employee who didn't care, or was afraid to tell a customer he'd have to wait for fresh food to be prepared. |
