And the winner is...

Stephen Nicholson from Swindon, UK.

He figured out what weird thing I was eating with Mike and Jules at the Turkish Restaurant in Walthamstow.  As a pastor of a church there did seem to be be something a bit perverse to eating this dish - kind of like being a television evangelist taking 30 minute offerings, and sending out healing prayer napkins in promise for $100 or more.

But, as Jules said, "Oh these are really quite nice!"

the answer is obvious in the menu photo below.

Eating weird things in Walthamstow

Mike and Jules are friends I stay with every time I come to the UK.  Everyone who has joined me here has stayed with them as well.  They have also returned the favor to stay with us in Salem, MA.  So, many of you will know Mike and Jules.

The other night we went to a Turkish restaurant around the corner on St. James Street.  A two block walk and we were at a really nice little restaurant in downtown Walthamstow.  The place is called Cinar Turkish Restaurant.  Seriously good food, and great service.

We looked at the menu and laughed at one item.  Then decided to get it, and try it out.  Can you guess what is on my fork?

If you can guess what it is I'll buy you a dish of it at Cinar Turkish Restaurant next time we are in Walthamstow together.  At the very least I will announce you as winner across my various noisy social networking platforms from Twitter to my Blogs, and add links to you as well.

I am not sure I would have thought about adding it to my list, but eating strange things from other ethnic food groups certainly was going to appear on the list.  So this is one of them accomplished - somewhat accidentally.
