Shortcuts worth knowing

Pick the good one
In su böreği the measure is hand-rolled dough, not the number of layers; machine sheets turn rubbery.
Right time
Pide and lahmacun are eaten the minute they leave the oven. Wrapped in paper, steam softens the dough.
Pick the good one
At a street counter the most reliable measure is turnover: fast-selling stock does not sit around.
How to order
Asking for extra sauce in a sandwich usually foregrounds the sauce, not the filling; ask for it on the side.
