Asri Turşucu

You walk past the window and you stop. Wall-to-wall jars with red-checked lids, stacked floor to ceiling — pickled green tomatoes, carrots, beans, peppers, cucumbers, things you can't identify and need to try. The yellow taxi reflected in the glass. Since 1938, says the logo. You go in.
