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.
These appetizers can be either finger foods and snack type foods or small portions of main course dishes, such as miniature sandwiches. Popular hot appetizers include chicken wings, mini quiches, mini tacos, meatballs, nachos, onion rings, and potato skins.
