My Mission: 16 Countries in 6 Months

MMM! In Turkey we have had fruit out the wazzoo, and one particular category of fruit that has been particularly delicious is the cherry. In Turkey there are 3 types of cherries. You have your visne (vish-nay) which are sour, beyaz kiraz (bay-az keer-az) which mean white cherry and are semi-sweet, and then kiraz (keer-az) which are the cherries we are all accustomed to. While in Istanbul I had tasted the visne and kiraz, however only upon reaching Esenlar did I have the opportunity to try the beyaz kiraz. Apparently, the beyaz kiraz are the Man Cherries and help the growth/birth of the other two women cherry trees. Bizarre eh? If I were to rank the cherries in order of best tasting, I would have to rank the beyaz kiraz as numero 1, then the kiraz, and last, but not least, the visne. Hopefully I will be able to find some of the beyaz kiraz back in the States.
