Whats 'Grashak'? Is it like Grvche Tavche (beans)?

I like bigger tulumbas, they are a bit thinner and crunchier:



Also that is a nice plate to share, the triangle ones have got cheese/cream filling I love them, but I like the dark green ones as well, and well the classic baklava is also nice:

But I like also salty pastries like simit:

I like bakla more, my mom does it to perfection, on top of the bakla you must add yoghurt! Otherwise it's a sad bakla :

Sarma is a favorite.

I eat these quite often, had no idea they were Turkish.

I order this almost every week from a restaurant down the street.

It's decided, I'll go to Turkey, and I'll eat like a mofo, all those dishes looks good.
Sarma is the best, I eat a lot of it when Winter comes

Many of these dishes looks very tasty and very good

The Gozleme is similar to the central/northern italian (from Emilia Romagna) Piadina

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.
