Turkish Delight Weaving in and out between the multifarious eating palaces on Lark Lane, I settle on Majool - dome-shaped copper candle holders standing proud on turquoise lace encrusted with pearls and everything embellished, drums, balalaikas, my belly propelled into surreptitious rolls and flicks. I order hummus and fat black olives, seduce my senses back to their old voluptuousness and finish with Baklava, its sweet lush sticky on my lips.
