We've got a nasty habit of making eating a secondary consideration to where we want to drink beer. We both know it's not a good idea (for several reasons) and yet time after time...
Sometimes, we almost forget to eat, especially on days when we've traveled and have a lot to catch up on. Also, since we're quite fussy about what we drink with food we often lapse into drinking wine when what we really want is beer.
So, we were quite pleased with ourselves, having inveigled our way into a busy Turkish restaurant for the first time, to choose Turkish beer to drink with our food. They had Efes on draft (which neither of us had had before). We were pretty skeptical about it and the first mouthful made us nod knowingly...you know the way Real Ale drinkers do when drinking foreign lagerish beers.
Then the waiter brought us some hummous and bread. What a revelation - they all worked really well together.
Don't get me wrong - it's not a beer we'll drink often but sometimes you have to give it try, don't you.
