The evening of June 9th   was an informal school dinner at the Turkish House Restaurant. This is a huge restaurant and the food is very generous. About 30 of the school staff attended and after 8 the food started coming to the tables. First course of hummus and other Arabic starters served with a huge slab of bread about a foot and a half long, which is straight out of the oven, then two salads, chicken and beef kebabs, pastries with meat, pastries with vegetables, French fries, calamari rings. The last is a huge fish each, grilled and split open. Dessert was Arabic pastries and two cakes. It was a huge feast, had to make sure I was quite hungry on arrival.
