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.
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.
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!
