saloop survival

In the Spring I mentioned saloop in London, now an extinct item, but it's exciting to find out that it's still around in Turkey and Australia (and who knows, even Turkish joints in London? must investigate).
In the old Istanbul days I was totally unaware of it - it would have been a great thing to buy on the early morning Bosphorus ferries (commend to me cities with an active water-life!) - but it's nice to see that what was a London fad is an old and ongoing tradition in the Levant.
