Having taken a look at World Health Organization figures on smoking the hookah vs smoking cigarettes, there seems to be even more tissue damage expected from puffing the narghile.
Yet the design of the hubble-bubble pipe is so sinuous that it calls out for attention - as in sketching it.
As does the tiny copper pot used in making Turkish coffee.
- Beans for Turkish coffee are ground or pounded to the finest possible powder; finer than for any other way of preparation.
- In Turkey, four degrees of sweetness are used: sade is "plain, or black; no sugar."
- Just as the coffee comes to the boil, the pot is removed from the heat. It is usually kept off the heat for a short time, then brought to boil a second and a third time, then the coffee is poured into the cups.
- Turkish coffee is taken at extremely hot temperatures and is usually served with a glass of cold water to freshen the mouth to better taste the coffee. It is traditionally served with Turkish delight.
Indie credit: a review of the historic thriller Argo, directed by Ben Affleck. The actor-director majored in Middle Eastern studies at Occidental College and the U of Vermont.
Argo is based on a sub-story of the Iranian Hostage Crisis which took place under Pres Jimmy Carter.
