You haven't been to any really nice places. The first place you go puts the grocery items in front of you, there is no effort involved. Even the bagel seller on the street prepares a better breakfast.

[@lindadorman2869]

Kahvalti, traditional Turkish breakfast, can be eaten any way you want. Mix sweet and savory, creamy and crispy, etc..to your own preference. It's usually a spread of 15-20 small dishes with olives, cheese, yogurt, honey, fruit, jam, sausage, tomatoes, cucumber and more with different types of breads as you had. The baked eggs are probably menemen with tomatoes, peppers and spices. The cheese may be kashkaval and the red spread acuka with tomatoes, peppers, walnuts. There are different types of tea but the one served for breakfast is always a clear black tea, other teas include rosehip and linden tea but not with breakfast.

[@aysenurkaraguney7299]

I was gonna say that. There's no wrong way of eating. Of course I wouldn't go for acuka + Nutella but each their own. Lots of pastries, börek, simit, poğaça, açma with many different fillings, different kind of bread so many different kind of cheese, at least two kind of olive. Different jams and marmalades. Omg I'm getting hungry oh and eggs are must have. Also I love fresh herbs fruits or vegetables in breakfast. Oh and I love fries too. We fry basically everything. You can leave the table with healthy choices or really bad choices, either way you gonna have full stomach And great thing about it we really eat like this every breakfast especially in sundays. Me and my husband can easily drink 2 litres of tea but if we eat with family tea goes up to 5-10 litres. After breakfast we don't do anything just sit and drink more tea. We don't even clean the dishes well after an hour. We just chat and try digest the feast we just devoured

[@ilgazserim398]

What makes the Turkish tea different is the ritual of drinking it basically. Turkish tea is essentially black tea (grown in Northern Turkey) but what makes is unique is the way we brew and the unique glasses used when serving (The glass you used is not the best way to experience it). The feeling and texture changes dramatically when you use those unique glasses, and the thinner the glass the better it feels. On top of these since we like small chats in Turkey, it is a great tool to keep yourself busy in a way in long conversations so it is tied closely to to the culture as well.

[@chaw294]

Well, Steve lvana. There's an old saying :- "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper." Make the first meal of the day your biggest. Great you guys enjoyed it. Bravo !!! ❤

You guys are making us miss Turkiye already! That was an awesome feast! Great video as always ! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@JetLagWarriors]

what do you miss the most about Turkey? 😊Come back!

[@atillakaragazi838]

Red spread is acuka. It has tomato paste, pepper paste, garlic, walnuts, cumin, olive oil, black pepper and crushed chilies. It is an extremely healthy stuff.

[@donvito323]

Thanks for revealing our national buisiness secrets 😉

[@atillakaragazi838]

@@donvito323 Does this make a me a spy or a comprador? 😋

[@A.L.P.D.]

Could also be muhammara ;) Actually it's the same. :)

[@atillakaragazi838]

@@A.L.P.D. They are kind of similar but not the same. Muhammara uses grilled red pepper and pomegranate molasses. Acuka includes significantly more amount of garlic. Hence, muhammara has a more peppery taste while acuka has more garlicy taste. Also, textures are a bit different. Acuka is very smooth like a paste, muhammara is much grittier and chunkier. Also, they originated from different regions. Muhammara is a specialty of Southwestern Turkiye, Syria, Lebanon and Northwestern part of Iraq whereas acuka ic made and consumed more in Eastern Black Sea region of Turkiye and Georgia. That is why acuka frequently contains hazelnuts, but muhammara has no hazelnuts in it. Finally, acuka is consumed usually as a breakfast item, in contrast muhammara is served either as a side dish to lunches/dinners or as a meze (for alcoholic beverages, typically raki/arak).

[@dianegreig4627]

Wish dad and i were there with you enjoying that feast! Looks delicious. So much to try! Keep safe, healthy and happy.

[@gabrielt.3181]

I think it happened the same day the video was recorded. They ate breakfast in the morning, came back to the hotel, edited the video and, posted it at night or in the afternoon. We are watching earlier because of the time zone

[@Darkangel1494]

Others have answered the questions you asked, so let me answer one too, the wrapped thing with cheese in it at the end is not a bread, it is actually a pastry. It's called a "Sigara Böreği" means cigeratte pastry, because of the way it looks.^^ Also, Turks call breakfast " Kahvaltı. " Kahvaltı means before the coffee or under the coffee. Coffee is usually drunk after breakfast and you've had Turkish coffee, now you know how strong coffee it is, I think you understand why Turks called breakfast this way lol

[@aysenurkaraguney7299]

Also I like add that sausage thing called sucuk. İt's a beef sausage with shit tone of spice blend that's why it looks and taste confusing. We don't eat blood in Türkiye ever. I don't think you can even find even you look for it.

[@aa.r2588]

So many foods and restaurants and packs with people, loving the vibes 😍

[@Yasin_Affandi]

Thank u for this wonderful video n for showing your lovely Turkish breakfast in Istanbul. Great food to start your day.

[@murattahan2391]

afiyet olsun. The name of the tomato paste, walnut, spicy food is "acuka"

[@JetLagWarriors]

Thanks for the info😊

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

That is Turkish sausage called sujuk! Very flavourful and sometimes spicy.

[@wild.fo0die]

Ah loved the way u share and explain details regarding food 😍

[@LannyBenny]

I used to live in Turkey. This 14:05 is called borek. It can be made with cheese inside or also meat. It is very similar to Philippines lumpia. Lumpia is more of a cigarette size, and borek is cigar size.

[@wanderersplanet4311]

Oh I just love turkey🥰🥰🥰🥰 🇹🇷

[@Regalya]

08:00 it's pastirami in turkish "Pastırma" 11:40 it's Chorizo in Turkish "Sujuk"

[@zehra__.]

Mısır unu ile yapılırsa 'kuymak'. Buğday unu ile yapılırsa 'mıhlama'.

[@Luiiz84]

As always awesome videos

[@AtomicDimension]

that red cream reminds of sardella, an italian paste made with pickled fish, peppers, dried tomatoes and olive oil. It's very similar, but I imagine this one doesn't have any fish on it

[@preciousstone6878]

Nice to see you eat! I can only imagine the taste ...yummy! I like this kind of breakfast, once a while.

[@unicornns5695]

Very nice (tasty) video 😊 Here in Serbia we love everything on the table to have for breakfast, like in Turkey, so eat what u want. But because of the job, it can be mostly a sunday breakfast. ❤🇷🇸

[@JetLagWarriors]

we used to eat burek a lot for breakfast there

[@unicornns5695]

@@JetLagWarriors ok burek is just one of the thing :)

[@atillakaragazi838]

Same in Turkiye. People in the big cities usually have this type of breakfast during the weekend. In rural areas, some people can have even during the weekdays. In addition to burek/borek, Serbians also love to eat kaymak/caimac and pekmez in their breakfast just like Turks.

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

You are supposed to eat the bread with honey and kalmak. They don't eat pork in Turkey so that isn't ham at all. That is cheese with cornmeal!

[@ArpiRhodes-wo1uf]

The sausage is sujukh. It is cured sausage. It is beef…lots of garlic and spices. And yes…like sausage is supposed to be, is fatty. Indeed it’s very good!

[@SercanGunaydn]

Actually the salt percentage in every Turkish food is ordered to be decreased by health ministry about 5-7 years ago

[@kitchenraw]

Wow, she is so good at tasting and guessing in general. That red sauce you put on the bread is called "Çemen" which is fenugreek plant sauce with tomato paste and walnut.

[@kaburgadolmas2512]

it's name ACUKA.ACUKA MATERIALS tomato paste pepper paste walnut kernel (finely ground) olive oil breadcrumbs (stale bread upon request) garlic (grated and crushed) black pepper cumin chili pepper

[@Sakinkal3]

11:51 dont worry its meat , its spicy meat Almost like turkish pepperoni made of minced and dried meat and spices name is “sucuk”

[@apoenziim]

this oily meat is called "sucuk". And It's so good with egg or toast etc. It's famous

[@MegaHolybean]

If you dont know what to order, or struggle due to language barrier just say "donat" and do like a hand motion towards the table and thats it. (pronounced like donut in english.)

[@gigininho1974]

Turkiye is near BULGARIA and ROMÂNIA. . WOW.

I believe that spread is called adjuka

[@JamesJones-mp6ie]

I've had several traditional Turkish breakfasts and they're always an interesting feast that means you have to skip lunch.

[@ardaxy]

That meat thing is basically pepperoni without pork

[@fahmidalutfullah361]

That roller up bread is called sigara böreği or cıgar shaped börek filled with cheese.

[@redzebra6688]

12:00 this sausage is called Sucuk, it’s the famous turkish garlic sausage 😊

[@bostonluyasar7045]

As a tip: do not go in there if the guy insistingly says "selaimon aleikom" and forces you to answer the same way. That behavior is not considered very normal in Turkey, even among Turks.

[@A.L.P.D.]

The long fried pastry u ate is a börek. Böreks are maed of yufka and yufka is the very thin sheets of dough used in making börek. Mostly baked in oven but u som sort are fried in pan. And they have different kinds of fiilng. Mostly with white cheeze (feta) with parsley (in ur case), ground beef with onions and spices or spinach with white cheese.

[@TR-ry3cn]

Thank you, i love Istanbul..In such a restaurant in Istanbul you can already pay 20 dollars for a breakfast. I think it's ok, even if you would pay 3 times less elsewhere. Somewhere in the forest.🙂 But if you ever see a "Sosyal Tesisi" restaurant, definitely go in. The food is great and the price can't be beat. These are probably state restaurants so that the lower middle class can also treat themselves to luxury. really great stuff..

[@vidattaramnauth287]

❤😊 so nice place

[@buz.]

if you love salty chese you need to try the food named ''Kuymak'' that usually goes on breakfast you'll like it!

[@Ca_po]

4:51 It s acuka. Tomato-pepper paste, olive oil, walnut, cumin based. It differs from region to region. We use sumac for salads or sour meals like sarma, dolma, its colour is little purplish. You can try some olive oil home-cooked meal before you leave, especially appetizers.

[@seorangmuslimah6172]

When someone said to you "Assalamu'alaikum" or "Salam alaykum", you could answer with "Wa'alaikumussalam" or "Alaykum Salam", I thought you knew it already as you're always travelling around the world including muslim countries and middle east as well, and if I am not mistaken, Ivana is from Indonesia right where at least she's supposed to be knowing a little bit about Islam and Islamic greeting (salam), and you both travelled to Malaysia as well right? Where many Malay Muslims living and I thought you've learnt a bit of Islam there if I am not mistaken. But I think you have to try to learn about Islam a little bit step by step. It is interesting as well to learn about it, right? Even it could be make your travel nicer when you can answer correctly, right? Have a nice travel. I am an Indonesian too. 😊

The cheez dish is called muhlama and made from corn flour cheeze and butter. We turkish are mostly Muslims and beside pork and other omnivore or carnivore animals we are not allowed to eat blood or bloodmade products. So dont worry if u eat sucuk ;)
