Baklava (pron.: /ˈbɑːkləvɑː/, /bɑːkləˈvɑː/,[1] or /bəˈklɑːvə/;[2] also baklawa) is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of phyllo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire, and those of Central and Southwest Asia.
Family values in male dominated Turkish society. I was not surprised to see this name “family butcher and grocery store” in Gent the other night. Some restaurants or cafes indicate that they have place upstairs for families only. So as a gay single parent can not enter this place? I am not sure about it. Let’s be naive and assume the name originates from family business.
Triperie, no longer exists. You can enter trips though.

Portraiture without a head…
A Turkish shop (electronics) in Temse, a ghost town in Flanders.
The small tobacco shop near the corner gone through a renovation. I liked this sign with the “in construction”. This is much better than placing outdated newspaper pages on the vitrine.
I was at the Balkan Trafik yesterday evening. Compared to previous editions it was rather boring. Goran Bregovic with his “Mémoires d’une reine malheureuse” was not what the festival crowd expected. We had to wait for the theatrical part to end to listen fun music. The night continued with the concerts of Duman and then Ekrem Mamutovic orchestra. Especially during Duman’s gig I was able to make some observations of the Turkish community in Belgium. My question with this post is how far our culture is represented in Europe. If these bad quality pita durums are the real Turkish specialty one can argue that Duman is the Turkish Nirvana.
