And within the city, there are a number of stories and legends that swirl around the black stuff. Coffee is far and away the most popular caffeinated drink in the city. Neapolitans are not tea drinkers. In fact, most see it as a kind of medicine, probably because when you’re sick to your stomach the doctor recommends eating white rice and drinking tea.

One of the most popular kinds of restaurants in Greece is the mezedopoleio, which, as the name indicates, specializes in traditional local meze dishes (washed down with generous amounts of ouzo or other alcoholic drinks).

Step One Prepare the Swiss chard. Wash the leaves well, then blanch them in salted boiling water for 10 seconds. Transfer immediately to an ice bath to stop the cooking. Lay the leaves on a clean kitchen towel and dry them completely. Remove the stems and cut the leaves into even pieces. Keep refrigerated until ready to fry. Step Two Make the batter. In a large bowl, combine the chickpea flour, fennel seeds, turmeric, chili powder, baking soda and salt.

With its prodigious array of baked goods, penchant for seasonal seafood, and reputation for excellent meze and olive oil-based dishes, Izmir has much to offer the curious and hungry visitor. Skillfully cooked organ meat and other unusual butcher cuts tempt here more than anywhere else, and true to Turkish mangal (barbecue) culture, charcoal-kissed skewers of kebab and grilled meatballs abound.
