At my maiden visit to OWA Park recently, I savored a warm, buttery, salty, soft pretzel. I ate it slowly, pulling away limbs from the main body, sitting in the full sun, watching passersby pass by.
As I looked at this yeasty golden oven, balanced on my thigh, tucked in its paper sleeve, I remembered another sunny day, but in Istanbul, where I ate something else in a paper sleeve. On that day in Istanbul, I'd contemplated the paper wrap and compared it with the little blue plastic bags in Caucasus Georgia and Ethiopia.
