Sweaty girl walks into a bakkal (corner store) after a long run:
"Would you like water?"
"Yes, please. And what kind of juice do you have?"
"All kinds."
"What do you have with no added sugar?"
[The shopkeeper thinks for a moment.]
"Cola."
"Would you like water?"

"All kinds."
"What do you have with no added sugar?"
[The shopkeeper thinks for a moment.]
"Cola."

This little encounter brought to mind one of my all-time favorite Turkey anecdotes, from way back in 2001, when a friend and I asked a guy at an Antalya eatery if he had anything "etsiz" (meatless) and he replied proudly, "Of course! Coffee, and rice."
Sharing this story on Facebook prompted a couple of other gems friends have encountered in response to vegetarian inquiries at restaurants:
"Bu et değil, tavuk." (This isn't meat, this is chicken.)
"Does this have meat in it?" "Only a little bit."
