“The perfect dinner”: Mustafa’s shisha only gets the mood going in Cologne

“Don’t forget to breathe!”: The mood in Cologne only rises when the shisha is served.

If only Mustafa had brought his hookah with him on day one of “The Perfect Dinner” (Vox) in Cologne! But it’s only on his Turkish evening that the mood in the group changes from awkward to exuberant – even though his menu doesn’t really appeal.

Embarrassed mood and often futile efforts of the three teachers in the group to loosen up the atmosphere a bit: Shortly before carnival in Cologne it was at times incomprehensible how clumsy and embarrassed the five members of the dinner group got through the evenings.

The fun begins when the whistle is played

What the native of Cologne (“Isch bin en Kölsche Jung”) with roots in Izmir conjures up is Turkish hospitality in its purest form: three types of meze starters, kebabs in a batter with grilled vegetables, bulgur and yoghurt, and angel hair filled with sweet mozzarella on ice cream Goat milk. So far, so homely, and “as you know it from your favorite Turk” (Jörg). Unfortunately, no big surprise for the worldly round. “I was hoping for more lightness and spices,” admits Linda (27) and explains: “The angel hair is somehow just mass.” “The meat is pretty dry,” states Ramona, who always seems a bit sour. Jörg at least tries to balance it out verbally: “The cooking point of the meat was a bit excessive, which made it compact.”

“Not true at all,” contradicts the host happily: “I’ve never managed it so well.” What doesn’t really work out with food and drink, he finally compensates with the crowning glory: everyone can have a go at the shisha. Jörg, who has experienced his first time in this respect, is particularly eager – until he has to snort a whole load again. But finally a bit of fun has returned to the dinner party.

Mustafa (“I can’t lose at all”), currently bottom of the game with 27 points, can be really proud of that. And his talented daughter Tuana (13), who is extremely energetic in supporting her “Baba” (“Sometimes we snap at each other”) and sets the future: “When I’m 18, I’ll apply for the ‘Perfect Dinner’ and then win.”
