I'll be going to Istanbul in a few days. This is a travel I do because of my job (and no - I'm not involved in any of the jobs listed [here](http://matadornetwork.com/abroad/20-awesome-travel-jobs-and-how-to-get-them/)). As in this case, I often get ready at the last minute and when I'm there I remember that I want also to enjoy the place, and especially the cuisine.

Well, this time I'm going to istanbul. I know that Turkish food is known to be meat-based, a bit spicy and that the well known Kebab or Doner are sort of best-known and "cutting edge" dishes I should try there... but... but..

But does really the Turkish cusine end with Kebab?

Which is a very typical- "must taste" Turkish food I can geti in Istanbul?
