Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The influences that helped to form Turkish cuisine are both geographical and cultural.
Because of its moderate climate, proximity to the sea, and its location at the crossroads of
the world they were favored in creating a great cuisine. Istanbul, Turkey was a great
trading hub, serving as a crossroads between east and west. Most of the ancient cultures,
and most of the subsequent cultures, left an imprint on the development of Turkish cuisine.
Foods from all over the world passed through Turkey, as well as cooking techniques and
tools, leaving in their path the ability for the Turks to bring all of it together in a
wonderful way.
Early in its history Turkey acquired wheat, rice, and vegetables from people passing
through. Cretan Minoans who had travelled here planted olives and grapes for oil and
wine. The Persians had a great influence in Turkey bringing sugar, pastries, and rice as
well as many new fruits and vegetables.
The two cuisines which formed the foundation of Turkish cuisine are the Anatolian and the
cuisine of the Ottoman Empire. The Anatolians enhanced native vegetables, fruits, nuts,
olive oil, and herbs and introduced many different varieties of fish into the cuisine. They
introduced the roasting and grilling of meat which are the basics of modern Turkish
cuisine as well as the use of many stuffed and baked vegetables, also very common today.
The Ottomans helped to refine what the Anatolians started. The Ottoman Empire was in
control for 600 years, conquering most of the Middle East. Because of this they brought
many foods into the Turkish repertoire and, as well, sent many of their own foods and
dishes throughout the Middle East. The Ottomans had the ability to synthesize cuisines
from three different continents into one great cuisine. This is an event which in all
likelihood never occurred elsewhere.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
