CULTURAL HERITAGE: TURKISH CUİSİNE

                

Turkish cuisine is one of the cultural heritage of Turks 

who have played an important role in the beginning and

 development of the history of world civilization. Turkish

 cuisine which has affect many cultures and has been 

impressed by many cultures has got tousands of flavor. 

Breakfast meals, spicy or sauce dishes, desserts, food 

presentations... It is one of the world's leading cuisines.

    

Meals are very important in Turkish

 culture. People always have 

breakfast and dinner with their

 family. There are jam, honey, 

cheese, cheddar, egg, salad, 

tomate, butter, bread, tea etc for 

breakfast and soup, stew, salad, 

bread for dinner.

Let's talk about Turkish 

food!

Kebab is first food that comes to mind when the topic is 

Turks or Turkey. You should taste lahmacun, Turkish 

ravioli with yoghurt and garlic sauce, rice wrapped in 

leaves… They are very delicious and not expensive.

 

  

Let's talk about a little about drinks!

We are lucky in this regard as a Turkish. Ayran which is 

prepared by the mixture of yoghurt and water is our 

national drink. Tea and Turkish coffee is indispensable 

of our friendly conversation. Somebody will offer Turkish 

delight near your coffee. Don’t forget to drink ancient 

boza (a fermented-bulgur drink )

 

    

   Finally,  I can start to talk 

about desserts. Baklava, 

this scrumptious syrup 

dessert is symbol of 

special days and religious 

holidays. Kadayif, 

sekerpare, lokma are 

delicious syrup desserts. If 

you want milk desserts, 

you should prefer rice 

pudding(sutlac), gullac, custard(muhallebi). They are 

exgui site desserts.          

    

     

  A word of advice from me.

If you come to Istanbul, you should eat one of the

 delicious dishes, drink a glass of ayran and than taste a 

dessert. After all of them you should drink a cup of 

Turkish coffee with great pleasure to the view of the 

Bosphorus Bridge.

Bon appetit!
