Stuffed mussel is a snack that you can easily come across in the street corners of Istanbul, Turkey. I shot this close-up photo at a stand there when the vendor was squeezing lemon juice onto the stuffed rice.
The aromatic rice is boiled with black pepper, cinnamon and oil, and it’s a delight to taste when mixing with the mussel and the lemon juice. It’s so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating it, so I bought one portion after another. The vendor was laughing when I ended up with 6 stuffed mussels in my stomach. :) It’s quite cheap too, like most street food.
Have you tried this treat as well? If not, rember to give it a try next time when you visit Istanbul!

It’s my 3rd and last entry to the Close-up(Macrography) Contest by @ntopaz. Do you have macro photos to share as well? Don’t hesitate to join the fun! =)
The definition of Macrography on their page:
Close-up(Macrography) is an image taken at a scale that is visible to the naked eye, as opposed to a micrographic image. It is sometimes defined more precisely as an image at a scale of less than ten times magnification.

Below is the original image before it’s cropped by the site, and another photo I took of the same stand — fresh stuffed mussels piled up on a big tray:
在土耳其伊斯坦布尔的街头，随处可见这样一种小吃 —— 青口裹米饭。（我听过青口、淡菜、海虹、贻贝这些不同的称呼，所以在网上查了下，看到果壳网的这篇文章帮助分辨谁是谁，如果你也有疑惑，可以顺便看看~）
这些大圆盘里堆着很多新鲜的贻贝，咋一看，其貌不扬，没啥特别。等走近细瞧，才发现里面裹有浅棕色的软糯米饭。 请暂时忽略照片里这双毛茸茸的大手，其实我当时心中的重点是打算拍张青口裹米饭的特写，结果那一瞬间，随着摊主手的转动，米饭就突然被无情地挡住了！接下来忙着吃，手黏乎乎的也顾不上再拍照了…… >.<
米饭是加了香油和桂皮、黑胡椒煮熟的，闻着已经很香，再蘸着鲜嫩的贻贝肉和酸爽的柠檬汁一起放到嘴里，特别可口！好吃到停不下来，大大超出我的预期，果然是食不可貌相呢。
于是，我就站在这家路边摊前不肯走，一直买、一直吃，接连吃了6个，最后想想胃里该留点空间给晚饭，才依依不舍地打算离开。摊主也乐呵呵地笑个不停，不断地拿起新的青口来，往里挤了柠檬汁递给我，开心地看着我狂吃。
现在写着又回想起那香浓鲜美的滋味，真是好吃又便宜啊！^^ 你试过这种特别的小吃吗？如果没有，下次去伊斯坦布尔时，记得在街头买来尝尝呦~
