Reaction to the news has included speculation over what other foods may be Turkish, and what this may mean for Swedish furniture store Ikea, known for its meatballs.

This blog is supported by the meager commissions I get when you buy stuff
on Amazon going through a link you see here. It doesn't matter if you buy what
is promoted, or something else - it's all still credited to the blog. I am ever so
greatful when you guys do it, because that little I do make from Amazon is still
a big help now that I'm no longer working.
Long and short of it? If you're ever going to Amazon, do me a favor and come to
the blog first and use one of my links. Your help is greatly appreciated. Seriously...
