Dough products turks are on a different level. I hope you had Borek and Pide

[@kimlend7680]

Agree! In a research more than 20 years ago it was found that we have more than literally 1000 types of bread. French and German breads are famous rightfuly so but we also do have some as well. The bad part is that majority of them are not categorized or made standart of them. So i.e. if you go to the eastern regions you'll see that people often eat a common type of flat bread what they call "ekmek" whic is literally bread. In western regions its known as "pide". And we have so many types of "pide" as well! So you see how crazy is this. My fav. is the sourdough "Ottoman bread" as we call with sunflower seeds on it. If you visit here again, you should def. try it. Its "ekşi mayalı Osmanlı ekmeği". You probably saw standard loaf bread in everywhere, it's really different than that.

Turkish food is OUTSTANDING. In the UK we have a lot of Turkish restraurants, many a person out on a few beers has succumbed to a good doner kebab on the way home. Especially if they have the right (the freshest stuff) meat grilling with the smell wafting down the street. In another note, I've been hearing about a South Korean wagyu, called Hanwoo. Could be worth looking at if you can get some. Apparently it's a fair bit different. Keep up the fantastic content, really love the channel.

Hi Guga, it's great to see you have enjoyed some of the delicacies of Turkish street food in Istanbul. Although you seemed to have tried some famous buffets, you didn't seem to have visited the best places. For example there are some famous doner shops that have so much better doner than those you have tried. The difference is huge, like they are different dishes. Also, one important note is that although their tribe may be named as the same, the fish in Marmara Sea are very different in terms of taste. So, the bonitos you use as shark bait in US taste totally different than the ones that live in Marmara, due to the habitat and the way they are feeding most probably. The same goes for many other tribes as well. The most astonishing example of this is the bluefish. In Istanbul, the Marmara Bluefish (Lüfer) is one of the most sought after fish due to its oily texture and superior sea taste (We even call it king of the fish), whereas in US it tastes much more bland and not considered as a very nice fish. As a person who travels a lot, I can easily say that when it comes to street food or regular daily food, Turkish cuisine is one of the best in the world, if not the best. I am not nationalistic about any other thing but Turkey is really, really good at food. This is not just about the success of 9-10 kind of food such as doner, shish kebap etc. but there are hundreds of great original and unique food that you can't find anywhere else, not even in Greece which is one of the best places on Earth . There is for example, a milky dessert made of chicken breast! One cannot imagine how a dessert made of chicken breast can taste so incredible until they taste it! There are countless examples of unique food like that in Turkey. You need a better guide next time just for food =)

Hey Guga, I’m a fisherman in New England and we love catching your “bonito” from the shore in fall months, as they are quite rare for us. However, we call them false albacore, or albies. Like you Floridians, no one eats them. However, what you likely ate, was Atlantic Bonito, and they are very tasty. They look very similar to albies (your “bonito”) and are often mixed in with false albacore schools. Hopefully this straightens up any confusion.

[@cevdetcanercan8864]

As a Turk, you are right, looks like this one called Atlantic Bonito in English. But to add confusion, we name and cook this fish differently. This sizes called "palamut" mainly, about 1,5-2 sizes called "torik". There are lots of recipes, I can't cover it since I am not cook or expert. But basically we Turks grill/fry/oven/pickle this, last one called "lakerda". I put the names to greet my Balkan friends, I love you guys.

Besides the food and everything amazing about this trip, I’m glad we’re moving on from COVID. So happy to see life going back to normal.

I recently went to Turkey, I have to tell you first, I'm not a fan of pickles, but almost in every hotel I went in there has a various kind of pickled pepper. Man, now I'm in love with those pickled pepper!

[@ayseculina]

pickles are healty

[@farukkonuralpeser2906]

Are you saying gin pepper? Yellow little peppers 😂 very tasty

[@michaelb3764]

I am glad you went to Istanbul. Been there twice and tried all the local foods. It's amazing and the best in my opinion. I would recommend to anyone to go to Istanbul and try it. This will not disappoint. The place that you been to is hagia Sofia. This was a church before and later converted to mosque. There is tons of History in Constantinople AKA Istanbul.

[@yhdm9374]

I absolutely loved my time in Istanbul too. Random people (not staff) at the airport were friendly and showed us the way, or at least asked if they can help. Apart from the foods you showed, I absolutely loved a lentil soup, called Ezogelin Corbasi. Absolute perfection with so few and simple ingredients and the fresh pommegrenade & orange juices that were available all over the streets!

[@abdurrahmandemirhan9041]

so glad to see you in Turkey guga thanks you for visiting us

[@NOTMuzzaFuzza]

There's still so much more to try over there my friend! The doner kebabs in Taksim are great, but there are so much more to eat than just that; simit(turkish bagel), acma(turkish brioche), kumpir(turkish style stuffed baked potato), wet burgers, kofte(meatballs, either cooked or raw), adana kebabs, manti(turkish ravioli), pide/lahmacun(turkish pizza), boreksi(cheese or meat pastry), durum(wraps), halka(similar to tulumba), baklava, kunefe(MUST TRY) and so much more!

The fish sandwiches in Istanbul Eminönü which they prepare inside multiple boats floating near the dock was an incredible experience and very tasty. You'd also get pickles inside a cup as a side dish, finish it with the salty Ayran beverage. Truly a delight.

After all these years of following you. I have always wished you to experience the Turkish version or techniques of the things you try in your channels. When i saw the video title, i said this is the moment, finally... But honesly, where is the ancestor of Swedish meatballs; Turkish koftes... Or kebaps and tandoori etc. Hope to see you again! Much love from Turkey! 🥰✌

[@AmbaKarambaa]

Love it Guga! As a Turkish, I am glad you decided to go to Turkey. I was there 6 months ago too, got to try quite few unique food places after 10+ years away from homeland, amazing! I'm glad you liked it! Next time try Kelle Paca!

As a Turk, I just loved your presentation. Sometimes I watch some other travel channels and their videos abut us but most of them are full of incomplete or incorrect information. For the first time, as a Turk, I was able to say, "Oh, this is a video that really tells about us." Thank you for that.

[@eliassalcedo5229]

I love your narration, the tasty words make me hungry 🤤😋.

[@ParsovaOfficial]

As someone in Turkey, I can gladly say I am happy to hear that you liked. Since you are coming with your currency, everything you had was much more cheaper than you expect. That being said, I am happy that you liked!

[@giorgospapadopoulos4837]

Amazing video! One IMPORTANT correction. The "mosque" you visited was originally a Christian Orthodox church called Hagia Sophia. Nowadays, and for a long time actually, it is used as a mosque and more as a touristic temple. Most of the food you got to experience can be found in other countries in the neighboring region, like Greece, where I come from. It is quite hard to decide the origin place of such foods, when for centuries our cultures were strongly interacting.

Guga I’m so happy for you to try some of the amazing foods in the world. Istanbul is famous with the food because is main stopping point of travelling trader’s in the past it was Istanbul and they shared spices and herbs from west and east and the mixture of cultures became that you experienced there.

If we all would travel the world and try eachothers food, there would not be much reason to fight eachother. You don't have to like the food of other countries, but you have to appreciate, that the locals do. And if you like it too, even better! Keep up the good work, Guga!

When I was in Europe there was a kebap house that had turkey breast kebabs in a skewer. When burned and shaved it tasted better than bacon. It’s all I ate for months. In sandwiches, on pizza, salad and plain in a bowl. I miss it so much.
