Turkey's magical hangover cure
In an unassuming storefront tucked away on a bustling Istanbul street, an older man was assembling a vividly colourful package of pickles. Drawing from buckets of cauliflower, beetroot, plums and peppers, he mixed them into a plump bundle inside a sturdy, clear plastic bag and sealed them in a pool of their own juices.
Adem Altun, 64, is a third-generation pickle man who has practiced his craft since he was a boy. He operates the original location of Pelit Turşuları in Istanbul’s Kurtuluş neighbourhood, with branches in different pockets of the city. It’s one of a number of classic pickle shops in the city that adhere to decades-old techniques passed down from generation to generation.
“For us, a meal without pickles is not complete. There are pickles on every table. Sometimes this drops in the summer because pickles prefer the cold,” Altun said.
But I wasn’t there to learn about pickles, or to pick up an assorted mix for the dinner table. I’d come to his shop – conveniently located a few blocks away from my apartment – for a different purpose: I’d drunk a little too much the previous night, and a glass of pickle juice is famed as a quick, tasty and natural cure for even the fiercest of headaches.
“In terms of minerals it is very rich,” Altun said, offering an explanation as he served me a glass.

I think I can see absolute demonstrable falsities in your post. I am unable to evaluate the truthiness of the final half of your final sentence, obviously, but given your reliability, I'd put money on it being a lie too.

You need to speak English, Russian, French, and Korean to understand my nickname buddy. The numbers are important too. It actually is a sentence saying the people commenting on the nickname can't get pussy and masturbate a lot.
you're not able to "evaluate" the truthfullness that people don't want to and don't migrate to the second-world shithole that is Eastern Europe? You're a moron.

Oh, I understood it fine. I just enjoy annoying you, knowing you got a vein popping up in your fourhead right now. Thanks for the entertainment personal clown.
