Kumpir and pomegranate juice

It was probably not a wise decision to eat a baked potato (Kumpir) and drink pomegranate juice when I was feeling ill from possible food poisoning.  But I was greedy, and didn't want to pass up the chance to eat Kumpir, which is a Turkish fast food, on the last night we were in Turkey.  This was somewhere in Sultanahmet, in a cafe selling Kumpir, lots of baked goods, and juices.

Eu-Jin thought the potato looks nasty, probably because I picked the red cabbage to be stuffed into the potato.  The preparation is fast, the guy gets a potato fresh from the oven, and mashes it up with butter and what looks like cheese.  I got to pick what to stuff the potato with, and the sauces.  Other than the red cabbage, I think I picked olives, corn, peas, carrots and some kind of red sauce and chili.  It was very tasty, but I really should have stuck to plain bread on the account of my bad stomach.
