Some time has passed since having a beer -- travel quiz, so here's a new one for those of you who, like the Phytophactor, record and document their travels in food and drink. So where was this beer consumed? A correct response will include the continent, country, and city.
in The Greenhouse

Well, it is a Turkish beer named after the city of Ephesus but enjoyed in many countries. Continent would be a matter of dispute between those who think it is Asia and those who think it is Europe.
Oh, so very close, Pat. While you might think Asia because of the use of rice in the making of this beer, the Bosporus is considered the dividing line between Europe and Asia, and Turkey straddles this line. However beer drinking is not as prevalent on the more conservative Asian-Islamic side as it is on the more worldly European side, so this glass of beer must be sitting west of the Bosphorus in Europe.
No more clues? Everyone else appears to be on holiday.
All quiet on the eastern (or western) shore. It has been quiet comment-wise, and you deserve another clue or a definitive answer, but maybe this will get Aunt Nan to use the internet to get out of OK and tell us what the answer is.
Nan says June 2006 in Istanbul, Turkey, Europe. And that maybe Glen's arm in the background.
Yes, we have a quiz winner! And for bonus points, what could you see when you looked outside from that table?
Depending on which bar it was taken in, Taksim.
I thought of you when I saw on the news the "vomit plant" ready to bloom. Didn't you used to have a link to one of them?

Thanks. No, never had a link to vomit plant, but here it sounds like common names have been confused. Vomit plant/fruit (noni, cheesefruit) doesn't look like much in flower. Sounds like someone was talking about a Titan arum, and while they smell like a rotting carcus, that's not the same kind of putrid odor that induces vomiting.
