TurkeyOne of my personal favorite foods in Turkey is called "kokoreç" -- to put it bluntly, grilled sheep intestines. The best time to get it is when you're in the cities later at night and the crowds of bar hoppers are wandering around. You'll find the vendors at their grills right on the street. The intestines are on a giant horizontal spit above the grill, and made fresh to order. You can order with our without spice. The meat is taken off, and is chopped up with the knives beating on the cutting board in such a beautifully rhythmic way, it makes you want to dance right there. Don't forget to order some "ayran" as well with your sandwich -- it's Turkey's most famous yogurt drink that really helps cool down the spice from the kokoreç.
