Introduction to Turkish cuisine: 4 special cuisines make you fall in love with Xingyue country

The non-famous philosopher Ali Baba Dewan once said that food is the ladder of human progress, there is only endless food in life, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome.

In the culinary world, there is a saying that there are "three major cuisines" in the world: Chinese cuisine, French cuisine and Turkish cuisine. Yes, although most people think that Turkish food is just grilled meat, grilled meat and grilled meat, but in fact, there are still a lot of special food in Turkey. Today we offer you this "my favorite 10 Turkish main dishes" menu, all of which are sincerely recommended after two years in the country to test the poison and taste a hundred herbs.

TOP 4 Balık Ekmek

Balık (fish), Ekmek (bread), as the name implies it is the bread sandwiched fish. When you pass by the Galata Bridge, have you found a lot of uncles and men on the bridge with a bucket and a rod fishing, the bridge is full of fish smell. That's right, most of what they catch is this kind of fish in the bread - mackerel.

After the mackerel is fried or baked, it is put directly into the big bread with some onions, lettuce and a squeeze of lemon juice, and then it can be eaten directly. It seems to be a very simple food, but it really represents the ordinary life of the local people in Turkey. The fish is served in a bread for about 6-8 lira, and you can enjoy the tender and crispy fried mackerel, but it is also very filling, and you won't waste your time by waiting for the meal.

The most authentic breaded fish must be found near Eminönü, the coastal area of Galata Bridge near the old town, which is a very inconspicuous roadside stall.

TOP 3 Lahmacun

The name Lahmacun comes from Arabic, but I prefer to call it "Turkish pie", which looks like a thin-bottomed pizza. It's a mixture of ground lamb or beef and chopped tomatoes and peppers with spices, spread evenly on a pizza bun, and then put it in the oven. When baked, the aroma is overwhelming, and it looks a lot like the big pies in the breakfast store in front of our house.

Pide is more like a boat-shaped pizza (it is said that the word Pizza is derived from the Greek word Pita, the Mediterranean coast family), the inside of the filling is also more varied: margarita (tomato cheese) filling, ground beef filling, green pepper and egg filling (this street less, more common in the Turkish home) and so on. The taste is somewhat similar to that of pizza, and one is usually enough for one person.

TOP2 Döner

It is regarded as the calling card of Turkish cuisine by people all over the world, and it seems that everyone knows "Turkish meat bun". But the reason why it is not ranked very high is that Turkish Döner is not as good as German Döner. Unlike German Döner, Turkish Döner is mostly long bread with simple side dishes - onions, lettuce, tomatoes - and grilled meat, mostly chicken or veal, sometimes with yogurt sauce. Eating at adana restoranları.

It is a good value for money food, and you can eat it for about 7 or 8 liras. By the way, Turkish people will eat Döner with the salty yogurt called Ayran, so whether you are used to it or not, it is always worth the trip.

TOP 1 Dürüm

Dürüm is actually a kind of Döner Kebap, so let's translate it as "Turkish meat burrito" for now. The filling is similar to that of traditional Döner, but the difference is that the pastry is very close to Chinese pancakes, so it tastes like a domestic burrito. The point is that it's better than Döner, so you don't have to eat too badly. You can find it at izmir en iyi balık restoranları.

The best Dürüm I've ever eaten is the Hatay Dürüm brought by a friend from Nevşehir, which contains not only traditional side dishes, but also some fries and ketchup. However, there are too few tourists going to Hatay, so if you come across it in other cities, you might as well give it a try.
