quick report.

haci abdullah was terribly over-priced (and they tried to cheat me on the bill twice!

Yes, the quince is great, but their prices have gone through the roof, and their quality is definitely not what it was. I'll be interested to hear where else you went!

Ms. Wolfert?

Hi! Well, I thought I read somewhere that you have a fish version of besteeya (instead of chicken).
