Sarma, but i am sure its Bulgarian

Sarma is actually brought by the Ottomans from the Middle East to the Balkans. It's popular in Macedonia and Bulgaria.

[Viljuska]

Sarma is a favorite.

I love Burek (Borek), especially with cheese or meat. And it is very popular in Macedonia and throughout the Macedonian diaspora.

I'm especially fond of all the dishes based on patladzhan (imambayalda tops the list:D).

Sorry, it's Turkish, even the word sarma is Turkish, it comes from the verb sarmak which means to roll. Same with dolma a Turkish food and has got a Turkish name that is originating from another Turkish word which is dolmak as well as doldurmak :D

[Onur]

The secret of Turkish cuisine`s richness comes from two reason;
The people in the rural sides became expert of pastry types like burek and all it`s varieties whether sweet or salty ones and they invented many type of dishes prepared by meat.

But most of our special dishes has been invented in sultan`s kitchen in Topkapi palace. You know Turkish people were always so fond of gastronomy and we were always slow food`ers like the rest of mediterranean people. Wwe have some dishes takes a day to prepare and we spend an hour on the dinner table while we eat.

There was few families who lived in palace`s kitchen and they were forbidden to go out due to security reasons like prevent poisoning the sultan himself. They were literally locked up in the palace`s kitchen `till the end of their lives. They were bringing women for the hometown of the chefs to get them married and they were teaching how to cook to their children too. They spend their whole lives to invent new dishes for the sultan and as you can guess, their ingredients was limitless and they were bringing whatever they want from all over the world to please the monarchy family and the other people in the palace. This tradition continued for ~650 years, during whole Ottoman era and they invented 1000s of new dishes at that time.

And our 1000s of different variety of mezes, especially for eating with raki. Most of them are prepared by using few chopped vegetables, fruits on top of yogurt with olive oil and herbs. These can be sweet, chilli hot, salty, or sourish too. It`s easy to prepare but it is so good to eat while drinking raki or just as an appetizer before the main dish;

Is Turkish cuisine the same in different parts of your country or do each "region" have its own specialities?

[Su]

Is Turkish cuisine the same in different parts of your country or do each "region" have its own specialities?

Yes and no.

Most dishes, you can find everywhere around Turkey, like dolma, sarma etc. but there are certain food they usually are known by certain people who are from certain places or they will be cooked made by certain people by certain areas.

^OMG that sounded complicated :D

For example: Tantuni is a from from South Turkish city Mersin, most probably Turks living in North Turkey dont know it or they dont do it. But tantuni is very tasty.

Tantuni:

http://istanbuleats.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/tantunibook.jpg

Another example of Manti, it's a dish from Central Anatolia, basically from Kayseri but everyone in Turkey knows it :D

We even got manti in different styles and fillings in Kayseri!
http://www.perilersofrasi.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/manti-nasil-yapilir.jpg

http://www.ogrencimutfagi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/manti-tarifi.jpg

Another example there is something called keskek with chicken pieces etc. I never knew it a friend of mine who is from North Turkey did it, once I tried it, I knew why I never heard about it, because the taste wasn't rich, it was rather bland :D

[Onur]

Is Turkish cuisine the same in different parts of your country or do each "region" have its own specialities?
Some dishes and some ingredients are standard regardless of wherever you go but it changes according to different regions. You know, Turkey is a big country and the climate is also quite diverse. There are many more diverse vegetables as you go to western side but less in eastern side. Also, eastern Turkey is cooler than western parts, so the people in the east uses less variety of vegetables and tend to do much more dishes with meat. But in the west, veggie dishes prepared with olive oil are popular. We also eat meat too but less than the eastern parts. So, western dishes are more lighter while eastern ones are higher in calorie wise, prepared with meat and animal fat instead of vegetables and vegetable oils.

Ofc everyone knows and eats all the dishes today but we tend to eat less meat here in the west while they eat more meat in the east. It`s same for the sweets and pastry. They do pastry with sweet syrups in the central and eastern parts of Turkey while we generally prepare lighter sweets in the west with less sugar and more fruits.

Iskender is good, but I usually don´t visit Turkish restaurants, because I fear to support the spread of islam. :D

[Su]

Iskender is good, but I usually don´t visit Turkish restaurants, because I fear to support the spread of islam. :D

Why do you actually eat Turkish food? As far as I know, you are anti-Turkish anyway :lol: So maybe you should carry on eating your sauerkraut ;)

[iNird]

I like some of the food. Burek/Byrek is definately a great dish with yogurt. I don't like the deserts that much. They are too sweet and the only one I can eat is Baklava if done right.


Sorry, it's Turkish, even the word sarma is Turkish, it comes from the verb sarmak which means to roll. Same with dolma a Turkish food and has got a Turkish name that is originating from another Turkish word which is dolmak as well as doldurmak :D

Well you would know better, but many of these foods could have been brought over by the Ottomans but it might not necessarily mean it's Turkish.

For example, what we refer to as "Turkish Coffee" (Greeks call it Greek coffee here in the states :P) has origins in Yemen. I would imagine the same to be true of some of the other foods posted in the thread.

:)

[ficuscarica]

Why do you actually eat Turkish food? As far as I know, you are anti-Turkish anyway :lol: So maybe you should carry on eating your sauerkraut ;)

I used to sometimes eat it before I learned about islam, because it is one of the cheapest fastfoods here. I know a restaurant lead by Christian Turks (or Syrians, I am not sure) , though. They sell Turkish dishes and once in a while I eat there when friends want to go.

And lol at Sauerkraut, in Baden we have the best cuisine in Central Europe together with Alsace. :p;)

Thank you for the explanations, it was clear ;)

All those dishes are colored and look like spiced, my kind of food, unfortunately, Turks in Belgium have fast food and not gastronomic restaurants, so except pita and kebab, and some Bosnian dishes I don't really know your cuisine.

[Onur]

Iskender is good, but I usually don´t visit Turkish restaurants, because I fear to support the spread of islam. :D

I dont think it doesnt matter to loose you for the kebab restaurant owners tough because i heard that kebabs are even more popular than McDonalds in Germany, among Germans.

I think with buying kebab I support the halal producing meat chains. Most owners of the little restaurants aren´t religious.
Yes, kebab is popular in many areas (not all, though) ... it is the cheapest fastfood and you are full after eating it.

[Su]

I like some of the food. Burek/Byrek is definately a great dish with yogurt. I don't like the deserts that much. They are too sweet and the only one I can eat is Baklava if done right.



Well you would know better, but many of these foods could have been brought over by the Ottomans but it might not necessarily mean it's Turkish.

For example, what we refer to as "Turkish Coffee" (Greeks call it Greek coffee here in the states :P) has origins in Yemen. I would imagine the same to be true of some of the other foods posted in the thread.

:)

It's very strange that some nationalities still are using Turkish words like Imambayildi, Karniyarik, Sarma,Dolma etc. Dont you think it's strange? If that makes you happier, then call the Turkish dishes with Turkish names whatever origin you like to, but people with more common sense will understand that these very typical dishes are originating from us such as dolma (meaning to fill something), sarma (meaning to roll something) etc. :lol: I know it must hurt a lot certain people from certain natinalities that fact their kitchen is influenced a lot by their enemies called Turks :naughty:

Eh not everything revolves around the Turks.

:coffee:

Albanians for example, accept these dishes came from the Ottoman period , hence, why we still call it Turkish coffee and not Albanian coffee or something.

I'm just saying not everything is necessarily Turkish because the food might have origins in other places.

They missed their chance to get over with their feeling of guilt while eating Turkish dishes. They should have done what Greeks did. They slightly renamed all those like "dolmalis, sarmalikos, cacikis," and claims that these are ancient hellenic food. They are doing this for about 70-80 years and today they really believe that Turkish coffee, yogurt and baklava really comes from ancient hellenes :)

They could have done the same and claim that these are ancient Thracian, illyrian food :D but they missed their chance to do that anymore.

[ficuscarica]

Yeah, sounds very similar. The kebab restaurants sell low quality stuff, but it is full of spices and you are full after eating it. People think they make a good deal, when in fact they still pay way too much for what they get. :D

Another example of Manti, it's a dish from Central Anatolia, basically from Kayseri but everyone in Turkey knows it


we have mantije too :)



Another example there is something called keskek with chicken pieces etc. I never knew it a friend of mine who is from North Turkey did it, once I tried it, I knew why I never heard about it, because the taste wasn't rich, it was rather bland


That is just WEIRD :D so you did not know about kesket? we have it in Bosnia,i personally hate it..but people rarely make it,i mean only on certain occasions..like when someone dies

Your stupidity even spread when talking about food.
While , personally I don't care about the origin of one food, as long as it taste good, I see YOU being obsessed again (as always).
I don't know the exact origin of every food (neither I do care though), but unlike you, I m not stupid enough, and I know that under f.e. Ottoman empire, you can't say who invented what, because -as you say proudly - Ottoman empire was multicultural. So, it could be Turkish, Armenian, Greek, Azeri, whatever food.
Same goes for other multicultural empires, such as Byzantine. .

Btw, in Greek is dolmades, Dolmadakia and Tzatziki. And they are renamed so they can fit Greek pronounciation . Yes, just like Izmir, Trabzon, Samsun,Instabul were renamed to fit Turkish pronunciation, smartass.

I think Chinese food is actually quite a ripoff compared to other take-out/fast food. You can order two dishes and a side of something and get charged $30 or $35 easily. They do give you a lot of food, but it's still not worth it.

Did you try sakızlı icecream in Cesme/Izmir? It`s the best.

Dandelion should know the mastic sweets too, like mastic pudding, icecream etc. I also like mastika the mastic raki too but i dont know why, no on does that in Turkey. There are 10s of different things with mastic but no raki here. So we get it from Chios (Sakız) island, close to Çesme.

:( I dont like Southern food at all. Ive looked the pictures of foods and I only found 1 that I would like to eat. Ive been to Turkey before and I hated almost all the food. And all the pastry is too hard everything else is either too spicy, too sweet, too dry or has ingredients I dont eat. And Ill be spending time there again in the summer. I guess Ill at least lose weight.

And about manti. They are just dumplings, only smaller. Nothing special about that. And "dumplings" in Korean are called "mandu".

[Onur]

I don't know if it`s Turkish but it should be from mediterranean, might be Italian.

This is semolina sweet. You do it by adding sugar+semolina+milk, boil them and create a bit hardy paste then add any fruit marmalade on top of it and let it cool in the refrigerator for about 2-3h and it`s ready.

No, if we go to Turkey, we always go to Antalya. And I love South Turkish food and they are also good at sweet stuff.

I like lokum as well...But it's too sweet, 1 max 2 is enough. But I dont like all lokum sort, I like for example the top ones not the bottom ones:

But I love cezerye, I am not too sure if cezerye is Turkish sweet or if we got from Arabs. I think cezerye is Arabic sweet, but I love it! I think it's like humus, we got also humus in Turkey, but it's an Arabic food, in fact it's a Levantine food!

Ha, I wonder if it's a cognate or a loanword.
I really wondered that too and i found this in wikipedia;


Mandu are believed to have been first brought to Korea by Mongolians in the 14th century during the Goryeo Dynasty.[3] The state religion of Goryeo was Buddhism, which discouraged consumption of meat. Mongolian incursion into Goryeo relaxed the religious prohibition against consuming meat, and mandu was among the newly imported dishes that included meat.

So, it appears like we brought manti from central Asia. Wow, i would never thought it`s that old


Some BIZARRE FOOD :D
I know that Greeks and balkanites loves those "bizarre" ones :) Balkanites loves kokorec and especially Greeks likes iskembe soup at 5am, after hardcore raki night, just like we do :)

I believe we brought these bizarre ones from central Asia too. I mean, boiled sheep heads and stuff like that perfectly suits to semi-nomadic life. I also know that Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs loves these too.

But myself, i don't eat any animals head. I usually drink iskembe if i am drunk.

I don't like turkish food, in it's original form. But some of their balkanian versions and/or ripoffs are applicable to my taste buds, as they are less spicy and sweet, and not that rich in taste on overall. Simplicity is the key for me.

[Su]

I have some friends that eat kokoretsi, but NONE of my friends (girls) eat iskebe. I mean.. HOW? Its awfull. :eek:

This is also what I am not understading, all girls I know hate it, but all Turkish men I know like or love it, I have never heard a single Turkish guy, who said "No, they are all disgusting". I blame...I dont know what to blame or who to blame about this extrem difference :lol: Even if I see a picture of this sort of things I go mad and think like WTF?!

Why shame on me ?
I often see English girls getting out of toilet and never wash their hands, but they are the trashy drunkers.
But the most suprising thing I see,and its between normal people,not only the trashy 18-30, is people grab their money with the mouth (f.e. to grab something before they pay - then move/leave what they bought - and pay)...
And I am not even mentioning stories that friends have said me, about more intimate things/hygiene.

Love it ? All? here some love it (my dad and big brother) , but some just simply don't have problem eating it . I mean, HOW??????

[xajapa]

Indulge an ignorant American, would rice and lentils (with sour cream) and kibi (grape leaves stuffed with lamb and rice) be considered Turkish? My grandmother, used to make both for me as a child.

Or like, but I have never seen a men complaining about it, I dont know maybe I am surrounded with "tough" guys or I dont know, some men are just to complicated or weird to understand :p

Anyway I love also un kurabiyesi, but not everyone makes it nice, in fact many places make it horrible:

I think you are describing "sarma". Yes it is Turkish but can be found in all over Balkans too.

Where is your grandma from?



Some more bizarre food
Greeks eat all those again. Maybe only Agean islanders but maybe all Greeks, i dunno.




Anyway I love also un kurabiyesi, but not everyone makes it nice, in fact many places make it horrible:
My mom was always telling me that it`s so difficult to make it right. She was trying to get the best result for the "un kurabiyesi" but not always it ends up good. Thats why i usually buy those from pastry stores from time to time :)

It shouldn't be high moistly because it sticks to your gums and it tastes oily when you eat it but it shouldn't be so dried too or it tastes bad

Some kind of small fish called as "Hamsi" here. They arrange those like that in a big tray, juxtapose all of it and take it to the oven.

Also we got pisi in Turkey, basically a plain dough piece that will be fried, once it's done you put some jam on top of or some cheese or cheese with nuts etc:

Well, we are Americans, but she was involved in a relationship with a man from Lebanon or Palestine, and she learned how to make these dishes for him. I really enjoy lamb. Is lamb a common food in the Balkans and Turkey?

[Onur]

as if it is important where food comes from,i like all kinds of food,,swedish,italian,some chinese

food is food
Bosnian, you maybe dont know but Greek state constantly trying to register baklava, burek, yogurt as "hellenic food" in EU institutions. The news of their idiotic attempts usually makes people go enrage here in Turkey.

Thats what i was talking about but i agree with you, food is food. But we are not ones who tries to monopole these, it`s the Greeks.

Ohh that explains. It must be Lebanon because Levantine cuisine is quite same with ours as we adopted many dishes from southern Levant/Mediterranean and they adopted many dishes from us.

I don't think it was Palestine because as you go further south, the cuisine changes. Our cuisine is mediterranean and it only exists in coastal parts of southern side like Lebanon, Syria. And yes, lamb is quite common in Balkans. In fact, the best lambs to eat can be found in Balkans, mainly Bulgaria, Thrace side of Turkey and Romania. Romanians are also traditionally the sheep herders of Balkans.

Or is there some food you only eat at certain special event?
Let say I marry a random Turkish woman, would she be able to cook it?

I have mentioned before mercimekli kofte, made mainly of red lentil and thin bulgur, but we got also patatesli kofte, made mainly of thin bulgur and potatoes:

http://yemektarifleri.kadin.ca/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/cig_kofte.jpg

As you have noticed it, all 3 looks almost the same since all of them need to have ince bulgur + tomato paste, but trust me each of them has got its own taste.

Icli kofte: OMG I love it so much, outside is made of bulgur + tomato paste + salt+ raw mince and inside you got str fried mince meat + herbs+salt+walnuts and once you manage to get the shape and the filling inside you either boil it or fry it. I really love it.

The ones in the pictures you have quoted, yes all these are everyday cuisine except the iskender doner kebab. Most of the other dishes pictured in this thread are everyday Turkish cuisine too.

And yes, every Turkish girl should be able to cook all these to be able to keep his man in home and make him happy. The number of Turkish girls who can do this are getting lesser and lesser day by day due to stupid fast foods poisoning our culture but i can say that a girl who can cook these, increases her chance to find a good guy to marry by 10 fold :) It`s because our mothers generation can still cook well and the men still knows what is a good meal.

[Su]

All the things I posted are everyday's food, apart from Iskender, you cant make Iskender at home. For most of us nice and decent food is important and we usually cook a few different type of stuff. Maybe the Turks in Western part of Turkey are more "modern" but I can clearly say in majority of Turkish families women do give a lot of effort for cookery.

I love also cooking, but I am a bit lazy so I cook 2-3 times a week and if I cook then I cook properly :D

[Svipdag]

I have never encountered, eaten, or even heard of any of these dishes except possibly dolma. Is Turkish dolma the same thing as dolmadhakia yalantzi, a.k.a. yalanji dolma ? That is grape leaves stuffed with rice and ground lamb and boiled or steamed and then served in olive oil and lemon juice.

"DE GVSTIBVS NON EST DISPVTANDVM" GAIVS VALERIVS CATVLLVS

Normally we got 2 types of dolma/sarma fillings:

A: Mince meat filling+ rice+herbs+tomato paste etc.
B: Rice filling + pinenuts+very small sultanis + olive oil + herbs etc

But we got also yalanci, which means liar for option A, if you are vegetarian, then you do A without mince meat.

[Onur]

This is how Greeks calls it with added suffixes.

Dolma is the name of the dish. "Yalancı" means lying, fake. So, it means something like, the one with meat is the proper one but you can do it without the meat, then it becomes fake "yalanji dolma" :)

No, not in my regions. If it was thicker, then I would have guessed it as irmik tatlisi: it's a mix of milk + sugar +semolina + mashed banana

But your food looks very soft, while ours looks more shaped and thicker:

We frequent a local establishment owned by a Turkish couple....they are always so very nice to their customers. There we get Gyro, Falafel, grape leaves, tabouleh, and they make a spectacular lentil soup that I give to my son with rice.
Most of the pictures on this thread look very appetizing:)

Bosnian, you maybe dont know but Greek state constantly trying to register baklava, burek, yogurt as "hellenic food" in EU institutions. The news of their idiotic attempts usually makes people go enrage here in Turkey.

Well, the one that doesn't know, is you, actually.
- Greeks don't claim yogurt, but a specific type of yougurt.
It's like we aren't allowed to have a copyright in Feta, because someone else brought the cheese , in general.
- Haven't seen any Greek claiming Bureki

Oh Dard... you are very naughty.. :no no
... i didnt want to post here... but.... my resistance is bending... :cry2:
Well... i ll still try to keep it low but... Didnt you see even pizza and peinirli is turkish :rolleyes:.... and they even put them in all kind of flavors and tastes, then give it a turkish name and its theirs... like almost every food on the list here...

Ah and Onur my love :eyes: ... As i remember Turks didnt have ovens as nomads and as the descriptions of the time says... they learned how to cook in ovens from the Byzantines after the fall of Byzantium...
How on earth did you cook baklava? In the pot? And also your diet was based on your flocks...you know... milk and yogurt and meat...? Did you roam all around imagining how to cook with ingredients you rarely had?

Oh and something more... please search for koptoplakous... it can be surpricing ... thats a nice sweet from the first cookbook of Europe from 200BC. :icon_wink:

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

But sweety ,you are not sharing food only with Turkic people, but with Mongolia too..Watch bizarre food Greece and Mongolia see for yourself ..
May be instead of arguing we must give you guys title of " Honorary Altaic" and anounce you latest Turkic klan "Helenoğlu ":cool:
Hug me sister :thumb001:

[Linet]

Sister :eyes ...i didnt say for all the foods on the list, but many for sure arent yours...
did you check koptoplakous?
Anyway.. i see no link and i am too lazy to search...

No, sometimes, they're English, French, or German.

Well, the word itself is Arabic.

Karays -not Muslim ,but Judaist ,make helva for soul of dead ones so I suspect this one is related with old animistic beliefs

in this article it says that, helva has a smell sent by wind and air to heavens perhaps dead ones souls were following the scent to heaven so they may reach there without getting lost..

Karays live in Lithuania .may be Tatars brought helva to Poland


GİRİŞ

Türk Kültüründe helvanın çok eski bir geçmişe sahip oluşu doğaldır. Zira helva göçebe bozkır medeniyetinin bir ürünüdür. Yapılması pratik, muhafazası kolay, gerekli malzemesi mahdut bir besindir. Kavut ile ev helvasının hazırlanması adeta aynıdır. Bu itibarla da sadece sıradan bir yiyecek değil adeta Türklerin mutluluk ve keder yemeğidir.



Türk kültüründe helvanın diğer önemli fonksiyonu inanç boyutundan gelmektedir. Eski Türk dini olan Tengricilik’de ruhlar/ata ruhları önemli bir yer tutmaktaydı. Hayat ölümle bitmiyor, devamlılık arzediyordu. Bu ve öteki dünya iç içe idi. Ruhların yardımının alınabilmesi veya onlardan gelecebilecek zararlardan sakınabilmek için bir takım uygulamalar yapılıyordu. Koku çıkarmak bunlardan birisi idi. Helva da hazırlanırken koku çıkaran bir nesnedir. Türk halk inançlarında koku faslı ayrı bir bahis olmakla beraber konumuzla ilgilidir.



Böylece denilebilir ki helvanın Türk kültüründe kod oluşturması Atlı Medeniyetin bir taam türü olması ve bu medeniyetin inancı olan Tengricilikte de koku itibariyle yer almasındandır. Bu itibarla helva Türklerin girdikleri Musevilik, İsevilik ve Muhammiyet de yeni şartlarda varlığını sürdürmüştür. Biz bu kısa girişten sonra Karadeniz çevresine öncelik vererek Türk halk kültüründe helva üzerinde duracağız. Bilindiği gibi sözlü kültür, bozkır medeniyetinin ürünüdür. Bu itibarla oradan başlanılabilir.

I found this article on net but unfortunately its in Turkish http://www.yasarkalafat.info/index.php?ll=newsdetails&w=1&yid=115

[StonyArabia]

Turkish cousine is the best I love all of it. The best is the dolma's and some other stuff. The Raki sometimes is nice from time to time just don't abuse it.

[Su]

Now Let's see lahmacun, since it has got an Arabic name, most probably we got it from Levantines, lahmacun is very tasty indeed:

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UbcpRPjhLxY/T4myo6H3myI/AAAAAAAAbrY/0pJRq6GhofQ/s1600/b-348773-lahmacun.jpg


I personally dont like the Arabic ones, since they are thick, we got it very thin...Some more lahmacun:

http://galeri.uludagsozluk.com/25/lahmacun-kenar%C4%B1_127887.jpg

We usually put some mixed salad op top of lahmacun and some lemon juce, wrap it and enjoy it!
http://www.itusozluk.com/image/lahmacun_180645.jpg
We got also finfik lahmacun, smaller size again thin and we usually put some cheese in the middle of lahmacun:

And again most of us love having ayran:

What's this? Some sort of Turkish whipped cream?

[Il Principe]

http://arealfoodlover.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/yogurt.jpg

Not the kiwis and strawberries, but the homemade yogurt itself. A healthy and very tasty Turkish invention, that I couldn't live without.

What's this? Some sort of Turkish whipped cream?
It is ayran, a mixture of yoghurt + water + salt and if you mix it properly you got a foam on top of it, I love it, in fact almost every Turk likes it, it's kind of our national drink amongst black tea and raki :D

Halva is Greek, the description can be found in the cookbook Deipnosophistai, of Atheneos (thats his name) of 200 BC... The recipie is not something close to halva but the exact one.
In the case of Koptoplacous the recipie has small differences (p.e. greeks used to put on top poppy seeds).

[Corvus]

Kebab mit alles :D

Halva is Greek

arabs and afghans have it too,halva is famous among many muslims,we make it the night before ramadan.

[Linet]

Yes, you have it, now...
We had it when Jesus was being born...
I didnt deny that today many people in many countries can make it :)

[Hurrem sultana]

well to me that does not matter

[Corvus]

Reading the debate and seeing the food, I think Greece and Turkey have many things in common at least in a culinaric sense :p

[Hurrem sultana]

But with time recipes changed,i doubt that halva is same now as before 2000 years.Our halva is not even close to the famous turkish or arabic

here is halva with pekmez:

http://www4.slikomat.com/08/0901/ou5-DSC009.jpg

[Linet]

Well , not really, since all those traditional muslim countries were build in the ex empire or Alexander and all those countries as we know had the greek way of living... oh and later they were part of Byzantium= greek again...
Well when you are into greek way of life for some thousants of years, you dont lose it when someone comes. Plus Arabs had no reason not to copy some nice sweets from their new lands since they loved sweet things.

And i didnt even mention our colonies...

Whats that soup up there?

[Queen B]

There is no need to argue over food.
Its fine over history, but not by food. Food is something that we should be united upon (and eat well).

I never cared about the origin of something, only about how it tastes. I'd happily eat turkish, Greek, French, Italian, Korean, Thai, Middle-eastern, etc as long as it is delicious :thumb001:

[Linet]

...mmm yes... :shrug: and?
i still want to know whats that soup up there....

some popular dishes from my region



Some of them I never knew at all! Honestly if we would post all the regional (based on cities) food, then this thread would be far longer...

Anyway cay saati! I am sure the Turks know what it is :D

Cay saati means (usually) women are meeting up in one house and eat all sort of nice finger food with tea and gossip till late evening, hehehehehehe :D

Some of them are salty, some sweet, some have got also filling or some have got things in the dough or different type of dough etc. (actually for gossiping, we do also lotsof different type of boreks, kisir etc. but hey I have already posted their pictures, at least the ones, I like a lot!)

Some of the finger food I love a lot while gossiping :naughty:

answer to linet about the soup,i am interested too :D

This is a popular dish in bosnia(it comes from sarajevo),the soup is called "begova corba"(beys soup")..i don't know if it is turkish :

http://www.bosanskikuhar.ba/images/recepti/begova-corba-1.jpeg

[Onur]

...mmm yes... :shrug: and?
i still want to know whats that soup up there....

answer to linet about the soup,i am interested too :D

You are asking for the soup named "Aliske"? I google`ed for you and it says that this is a soup made by Tatars. There are potato, chicken, onions, tomato, egg yolk, lemon juice and wheat.

I found a video here if u wanna cook it;
http://www.kanald.com.tr/Mutfagim/Video/Aliske-Corbasi-tarifi/12770

I`ve never eaten this but it looks like goulash.

Thanks, I have never eaten Aliske, I wonder how's the taste...Probably with a nice warm bread and nice mixed salad, it must be something decent :D

Watch the video, you don't need bread while eating this.

They make dough pieces with spoon by using water+flour and drop it in the soup while it`s boiling and then dough pieces gets baked in the hot boiling soup.

It`s a good trick :)

So, this is actually is not a soup but it`s "Aş, Aash" as we call it in Turkish. It`s a complete meal and you don't need anything else to eat it except a spoon. So, it`s like goulash.

Btw, did you notice this;
Hungarian = Goul-ash and Turkish = Aş, Aash.

-Nohutlu bulgur pilavı

http://yemektarifi.guzguzeli.com/wp-content/nohutlu-bulgur-pilav%C4%B1.jpg
Few years ago, i was dining in a hotel and there was bulgur pilavı (wheat). A German client, he was probably from east Germany, said "What is this, we give this thing to the chickens, this is a food for animals" :). I said to him "eat first and then decide if it`s only for animals or not". I don't know but probably he liked it.

Bulgur pilavi vs Baldo rice pilav, I always go for bulgur first although baldo rice pilav is also tasty :D

Just saw this :D;


Driver crashed into parked car because his KEBAB fell off the dashboard
A drink-driver crashed into a parked car – because he bent down to pick up his kebab when it fell off the dashboard, a court heard.

Geoff Clapp, defending, said: ‘He realised he had had too much to drink to drive home and was turning back when, unfortunately, the kebab – which was on the dashboard – fell on the floor.

‘Mr Watson leaned down to get it and barged into the other car.’

Nothing hits the spot better than Cevapi. Btw, what do Turks call this (is it also "Kepab"? Kofte Kepab?):

[Azalea]

The name Cevapcici is a Slavizised version of the Turkish word 'Kebabci', a term given to kebab sellers/makers. And I don't think we have Cevapci in Turkey but we do have similar dishes like kofte kebabi. In general, we call all grilled meat dishes in Turkey 'kebab'. That's why there are also so many sorts and kinds of kebab in Turkey.

Looks good. Kinda looks like "manicotti"

BTW, I don't understand the obsession with cevape/cevapi with the Balkan posters. Not a fan.
