stunsworth Posted March 8, 2008 Share #6 Posted March 8, 2008 Hi Vieri, brings back memories of travelling in Turkey. I remember seeing a trolley like that selling roasted sheep's heads. If you weren't that hungry the seller would split one down the middle and sell you half. Thanks for sharing, I must get back to Istanbul sometime.

Next time you get here, I am not sure you'd find the head again, but the atmosphere is definitely still here thanks for commenting, much appreciated!

odyocu Posted March 18, 2008 Share #8 Posted March 18, 2008 You need to search a lot for finding that. Not on the streets though, but in some special restaurants. Very bad for your cholesterol!!

roguewave Posted March 20, 2008 Share #10 Posted March 20, 2008 Vieri, this image reminds me of the photographs my father revealed to me of his childhood on the lower east side of Manhattan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhotoArchival Posted March 20, 2008 Share #11 Posted March 20, 2008 Vieri, I like the rush in this photo and how it seems like you are in the action. The narrow street works greatly to that effect too! Well done all around! I'd probably shoot a whole roll in the span of that block! Amado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
semrich Posted March 20, 2008 Share #12 Posted March 20, 2008 Reading the level of interest the sheep heads has generated and living here for almost 6 years I can tell you where you can find them. I regularly see a tray full of fresh cooked sheep heads being transported from the oven of a bakery along the main street to a restaurant on the island of Buyukada.

Infact, I did shoot quite a few pics there - as you said, it's difficult to resist such scenes, it feels like being in the middle of the theater of life... thanks again!

odyocu Posted March 21, 2008 Share #15 Posted March 21, 2008 You have to go to any "Iskembeci" to find this food. Check what iskembeci is before going.. I like it, but foreigners may need some orientation before trying it.

I am living here for 8 years now, I know what an iskembeci is but I don't go very often (last time was a few years ago, actually) and when I went I didn't eat any heads shall go and check it out again...
