Hello Everyone! - Herkese Merhaba!
During your stay in Istanbul, do not miss out on the richness of Turkish cuisine! If you like, I can make you bring these great dishes to your home!
Last time I was talking about Turkey’s 3 traditional main elements which are serving every after meal. If you haven't read it yet, please check out my article >> https://cafetalk.com/column/read/?id=154771&lang=en
Here, I continue writing the other two:
Tea (çay): Tea in Turkey is a real institution, it is a sign of hospitality. It is served when you visit people, and often offered at the end of a meal. Most of the time, it is black tea. It is drunk in a small glass (çay bardağı). We drink it any time of the day or even during the evening.
Turkish coffee (türk kahvesi): This coffee is different from our traditional coffee because the marc is present in the cup. Be careful not to drink it! When you order a Turkish coffee you need to specify its cooking, or rather the amount of sugar you want in it. If you want a coffee without sugar say “sade” (pronounced “saad-eh”), with a little sugar, say “orta”, with many sugars, say “şekerli” (pronounced “sheh-ker-lee”). Once you’ve finished your coffee you can interpret your future in the marks of the coffee. Return your cup on the saucer, just wait until the cup cools and then return the cup, the marc traces are indications of your future!
Istanbul is a condensate of Turkey, the massive internal migrations of the 80s and 90s are the reason why you’ll be able to find here all the regional cuisines! You still have to know the good places to eat, you can find them in my articles about the best restaurants.
To discover Turkish cuisine and some of its specialties in more depth while discovering two neighborhoods still little-visited, I invite you to participate in my Online Turkish Cooking lesson. I would like to introduce the best restaurants and places while we are cooking delicious Turkish foods.
I look forward to meeting you soon!
Hoşca kalın.
