Turks eagerly embrace the West. They point out that the capital at Istanbul is in Europe, not Asia. They have abolished the veil for women, Romanized their alphabet. In their eagerness to be Europeanized, the Turks borrow words freely from Western languages. Window signs advertise t-shirts and switsort.
Film houses have a delightfuily unconscious pun in their Turkish name of sinema.
Because many Turkish restaurants serve buffet style, cafes are called bufes. They advertise rasebeef or rokfor cheese sandvic. But I was brought up short by a bufe with a sign in the window unashamedly pushing fastfood. That may signal the end of great Ottoman cuisine.
