A small lunch

Mrs. B. invited Ikuko and I over today for what she called a "small lunch":

Salad with tomatoes and cauliflower
Grilled eggplant
Soup with vegetables
Rice with vegetables
Stuffed peppers and stuffed tomatoes (by stuffed I mean meat and rice)
Toasted Bread
Apples
Turkish Coffee at the end

I guess we'll call this the Albanian small lunch. And speaking of lunches, I learned never to bring kumlat (or at least I think that's what these are called, see photo below) to someone's house for a meal. I was completely rejected, everyone just laughed at me, is this fruit just not appropriate???
