Tuesday 14 January
Having had a late lunch at the
V&A, we chose the Turkish restaurant Tas near the Old Vic (where we were
about to see Turgenev's "Fortune's Fool") for wine and mezes, as we weren't hungry enough for a
full set meal. It proved to be the
perfect combination of light food, comfy chairs, and brisk service, not to
mention a decent bottle of their Turkish house white.
Excellent hummus, olives, and
bread were already on the table, and we supplemented them with smoky patlican salatasi, enginar (artichoke
hearts with carrots, fava beans, tomatoes and garlic), zeytinli ahtapot salatasi (marinated
octopus with red onions, olives and coriander), and cute little böreks filled with white cheese and spinach.
That was all we needed before the
play, and our Turkish friends should pardon the misplaced dotted "i"s
throughout this description.
