Thank you for finally resolving the mystery of pirinç and pilav, though I have already embarrassed myself a million times already 😂😂😂

[@ivaivkovic1008]

In Croatia we say krumpir for potato, kumpir sounds bit funny without r😀 I think that Turkey probably has the best food in the world. It is hard to choose the favorite one. Hırvatistan'dan selamlar!😀

Mind please, Turkey may be having a few good dishes, e.g Kebap stc, but we in Pakistan, esp Peshawar and KPK have a score of such a unique and tasty dishes that no one dare resist to eat them in abundance and time and time again. (SHAKEEL AHMAD)

[@pixelmango2920]

​@@ShakeelAhmad-vh7iv Not just a few but many! Turkiye has 7 regions and each reagon's climate are different which causes them to have different kinds of vegetables and fruits in the same season. Turkish cuisine is so various and delicious so even if you try to eat as much different dishes as possible you will be still missing many of the dishes at the end because of the variety. As a born and raised Turkish myself I still haven't tried 70% of Turkish dishes or even more. They are all so delicious. 😋

[@kathrynackley3460]

I have been to Turkey four times in the Kara Deniz region, misafir, not tourist, stayed with Turkish friends in their homes, my favorite food is mantı, kunefe, and yayla çorbası

[@oliviak9952]

[@lesfiestan]

Oh god i miss Turkey so much esp the food 😭

[@user-er8fi9wl8i]

It's amazing how we in algeria have many of the same dishes and... with the same name. çorba = شُربة börek = بوراك Baklava = بقلاوة Dolma = دولمة kefta = كفتة Künefe = كُنافة and many others. Man! turkey and arabs of north africa have a very deep history. Greetings to my turkish brothers and sister.

[@theone9427]

Shawarma: Döner actually shawarma also comes from Turkish language çevirme word spinning 😅😅😅

[@shuppiluliuma2173]

Actually the picture of the food you referred to as kebap, is Adana or Urfa Kebap. Kebap is the general name of the cooking style of all kinds of meats grilled on wood ember, or charcoal or even may be roasted in owen, which don't have to be minced; and yes, döner is a kind of kebap too. For example, şiş kebap (shish kebap) - as you may know - is made of lamb's meat pieces, and I can name you many other kebap dishes like küşneme kebabı, cartlak kebabı, ciğer kebabı, testi kebabı, kaburga kebabı, tandır kebabı, orman kebabı, etc. etc. :)

[@Turkishle]

Thanks for informing! I didn't know the details...

[@hadiya2179]

Absolutely. You are spot on. There hundreds of kebaps. Patlıcan kebap, tandır kebap, çömlek kebabı,. Tas kebap is the only few.

[@nickacelvn]

@@Turkishle You're doing a great job. Keep it up

[@ShakeelAhmad-vh7iv]

Yes you are very right, for what he has shown as Kebap is called as "Shami Kabab" in Pakistan. Besides, we have "Chappal Kabab" in Peshawar and KPK, which is minced mutton with a lot of spices and tommato etc cooked in ghee in a large pan. That is a kind of Kabab (Kebap) which I see no equal in the world in taste, for sure. (SHAKEEL AHMAD)

Pilav is a complicated thing. Showing only rice picture is actually does not reflect it. Because pilav is not only prepared with rice but also with other ingredients. So we have different kind of pilavs in turkish cuisine like pirinç pilavı, bulgur pilavı, şehriye pilavı etc.

[@AhmedThaking]

The turks dont know how to make proper palaw.. You put pasta with boilet Rice... Real palaw i boiled in broth made by lamb Meat

[@osmanakbulut8850]

@@AhmedThaking I don't discuss personal tastes. What you define the pilav / palaw is only a meal prepared with "rice". What I try to say is that in Turkish cuisine pilav is a general name for some kind of different dishes because we have so many different pilavs that some of them doesn't even have any "rice" as ingredient. Just copy and google these 3 pilavs (pilavs with 3 different ingredient) as an example and look at the pictures, you will understand what I mean better: 1) Meyhane Pilavı 2) Düğün Pilavı 3) Ankara Tava

[@razuja]

@@osmanakbulut8850 very well said...

[@ShakeelAhmad-vh7iv]

Yes you are very right, for just rice we call Cjawal in Pakistan and that is no dish worth mention. While we have Palave as a tasty dish for guests in marriages, while there are "Kabli Palave" and "Bannosi Palave" which are made for special guests, and they are extremely Tasty and savoury, indeed...hum!

[@sazji]

I was at a big Cambodian celebration with a friend whose GF was one of those “have to inform everyone every 10 seconds that she’s vegetarian” vegetarians. She found one “noodle” dish that she really loved. I looked at the “noodles” and noticed that one side was a bit…ribbed, and said “I really don’t think those are noodles.” She insisted that they were. “I’m gonna ask,” I said. So I went to the hostess and asked. The conversation went something like this: Me: So, What is this dish, it’s really good! Ros (with worried look): Oh…you like that one?” Me: Yeah it’s really nice! What is it? Ros: “Oooh…so you like to eat that one?” Me: Yes Ros, I like it a lot. What is it? Ros: Ah…so you like that one? Me: Yes I like it tell me what’s in it already! Ros: Oooh, that one make from pig skin! Me: Thank you, Ros! 😀 The friend was thrilled of course. ;-)

A few foreign friends of mine, when they came to Turkey, said "I want to try koko thing" because they could not pronounce the name kokoreç. At first I didn't understand, but later when they described what they wanted, I got the point and I warned them. Koko means cocaine in Turkish slang. If you don't want to cause confusion, please try to pronounce the full name kokoreç. Thank you...

[@classics39]

Another very! useful lesson to get the pronunciation right. I am so with you regarding Balik ekmek. Never tried it - too much bread so it must be dry and the fish (mackerel) just does not go with it. But I love Balik dürüm - it is my favourite street food in Istanbul - so tasty and healthy. I request it with "az tuz". I also love Su Böregi but did not know the correct name I thought is was just börek. Now I know how to ask for it. Also like pilav very much with tavuk sometimes with "sos" It saved me when I travelled in the "wild East" of TR / Iran border with an upset stomach. Next time I am in Turkey I must try Kokoreç and Beyran.

In English we “eat” soup. In Turkish they “drink” soup. :-) I remember when the balık ekmek in Eminönü was made from fish caught in nearby waters, and cooked in oil on small boats there, and was really good. Cause I’m old. 😅 Favorite Turkish foods - I HAVE to eat kokoreç when I go, preferably at Çengelköy Kokoreççisi. Bol acılı. And I love Analı Kızlı, and Şiveydiz... so many wonderful dishes from that eastern Mediterranean area. Many are similar to Syrian and Lebanese food but they have their special Turkish interpretation. Mardin style dolma are also amazing.
