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.
An appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner. Usually, an appetizer is a small serving of food â just a few bites â meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people.
Set all other plates on the table. If youâre serving dinner rolls, set an appetizer plate over the forks and place a butter knife on top. If youâre serving coffee after dinner, you can either bring the cup and saucer out with dessert or set to the right of the spoons at the beginning of the meal.
