Me and my dear wife went to Turkey for a long weekend.
We were enchanted by the beautiful beaches, sparkling sea and people spoke remarkably good English, if rather heavily accented. Keen to try out the local delicacies, we had a delicious kebab, very similar to what we have had back home, but had no luck in getting hold of any baklava for afters. Everyone just look blank when we asked for it in any of the local eateries, and we tried every possible pronunciation of it just to be sure, but no. Then we realised our mistake: we were in Torquay by mistake. How we smiled a bit at our gruel-thin sense of humour.

There is a regular market where, amongst the nuts and olives, several types of baklavas are available.
(I'm only guessing actually, but if it makes this post sound even more lame, I figured, what the hell...)

Fair enough, it felt lame just typing it but just could not stop.
