and to check his e-mail.
i'm not really up on the turkish diaspora, but i do know that lots of people have told me koshkemeer - which styles itself "scotland's first kurdish restaurant" - is absolutely MIGHTY. as long as you like lamb, that is.

No! I had an awful time in the Kurdish place. Please do not go! My lamb kebab tasted, as Mr Rumpy so elegantly put it "Like a punch in the face".The soup was like really watery tinned Spaghetti Hoops, and Mr R's lamb kebab variation (the menu was mostly takes on lamb kebabs) tasted as though it had been steeped overnight in battery acid.The decorations were, typical Kurdish? I don't know, but the Mournful Girl picture made me feel guilty for eating.They do not take credit cards either meaning an embarrassing jog to the cash machine down the road.Puding, if memory serves me correctly consisted of milk and egg yolks. I didn't order this.The bread was DIVINE. Perhaps my palate is just not refined enough for Kurdish eating.

I really love Seb´s café at the top of Argyle Street but it is too small to fit more than four people in really. Seb is Kosovan. I think the Argan café looks good but I haven´t been. The Korean buffet that replaced the Indian buffet is good. Best of all is the Thai Siam. There´s really no reason to ever leave Argyle Street. Except to go to the Konaki. Don´t go to Anonious, it´s BAD!!
Let's talk about Turkey's human rights record, for Cathy
Just to clarify, I am not an apologist for Turkey´s bad human rights record! I have a pedantic pet-quibble about people saying that countries have a "bad human rights record". I think you should have to be more specific. You should say, I don´t like Turkey because they burnt all those Kurdish villages, or yeah China is okay but they´re always torturing prisoners. I don´t mean that you should have to say that in Turkish and Chinese restaurants, this is a separate thing.

Skint this weekend, will be hibernating until payday. Spent thirty five quid on cheese, mussels and salmon up at Loch Fyne on friday, another tenner on petrol. Now I'm living on crackers and said cheese :-(
