Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in winter the temperature can drop below zero.
Best Answer: You can still have bread even though you are serving it with dinner.... You could set out fat slices of warm Italian bread and the little plates with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper. You dip the bread in the olive oil. It's really good.
Crunchy water chestnuts, smokey bacon and a piquant sauce make these little morsels a treat before dinner. You can easily make enough for a crowd just by increasing the amounts.
