Looks amazing! Is there a base recipe that you use or can recommend?

Restaurants sit half-empty in Turkey this summer as inflation reaches 91% in places sending tourists and locals flocking to neighboring Greece in c/world@lemmy.world

The above is/was correct, but for the last 1-2 years they actually flipped it around, artificially valuing the currency against USD, EUR while not keeping inflation under check. The inflation in TRY has been >100% for the last few years, while the TRY/USD parity barely moved. So it means that the prices are approximately at NYC levels for e.g. restaurants, and is shockingly expensive for most tourists, let alone the local people.
