Turkey
If you really want to try a unique Turkish twist on a familiar food, make sure you try "kumpir." Basically, the inside of a giant baked potato is whipped with butter and cheese, and then has a variety of toppings added to it, ranging from ketchup to mayo, from olives to "rus salatasi" (Russian salad). You can find it almost anywhere, but I would recommend trying a "kumpir" in the Ortaköy neighborhood of Istanbul. They have a whole line of vendor stands and when you walk by, all of the vendors will begin to call out to you to try to get you to buy from them. You'll never again feel so famous and wanted! The best part is you can sit down outside and eat it along the shore of the Bosporus.
