TRYING TURKISH FOOD - OUR HONEST OPINION

[@bluetoe]

tip from a local: if a restaurant offers both kebabs and pide and döner and dessert, you'll probably have a below-the-average experience. because traditionally these foods are cooked by people from different parts of turkey, so you normally can't have it all in one place. if you're looking for the real deal, you'll find the best pide in a pide restaurant, best kebabs in a kebab restaurant, best döner (no we don't call döner as a kebab) in a döner shop and best desserts in a dessert shop. take your time and do your research, there are really great places that locals go and they are not too far from tourist quarters. ok one more tip: don't drink apple tea, no one drinks apple tea in turkey except the vendors of the grand bazaar. it's just kinda processed powder.

[@veradianthus903]

you should eat kumpir

[@slade5840]

Honestly the best meals we had in Istanbul were from among the daily lunch specials at places like Nivhan Restaurant in Sultanahmet. Just walk up to the counter and pick whatever looks good. Baklava and Turkish coffee at Hafiz Mustafa or Karakoy Gulluoglu is also a must!

The water beside the turkish coffee is to reduce oxalate in your mouth/teeth. Means you have to drink it before.

Hello guys wish you enjoy your stay in turkiye, turkey sure has so much to places to visit and the food I say no more just so gorgeous and tasty,I'm not sure how long you guys are out there for but I definitely you travel to trabzon its north east of turkey so beautiful.

Damn... It hurt seeing 45 lira being 4.5 Euro ... I'm a European Turk. Remember studying in Istanbul for a student exchange program while lira was like 3 to 1 euro. Was worried then about the lira losing value. And now it's 10 to 1.

Emilia is the first person I heard of that doesn’t like cheese

[@godofchaoskhorne5043]

I thought not liking cheese was literally impossible for humans. Even lactose intolerant people will eat cheese despite getting sick after because it's soo good. It's why I also believe veganism is a mental disease, type of masochism in which people intentionally deny themselves one of life's greatest pleasures. Cheese and meat

Last store you entered (absolutely tourist trap) was kind of empty. My suggestion in such situations, check if locals go in. If it has lots of local people in it, it is unlikely to be tourist trap.

I would advise going to south eastern turkey the capital of turkish food especially Şanlıurfa .also the mountins of the Black Sea region are beautiful you won’t believe how green it is but go there early I think it might snow later on the year so that should be a priority trust me! TIP:Also be sure not to use Arab music in your videos turks get triggered by being called or defined arabs trust me im Turkish and even though I might not be nationalistic I still get triggered so imagine the patriotic people!

[@anouarzahraoui1149]

Do you hate Arabs? I'm also triggered by comments like this

@@anouarzahraoui1149 no but people hate being confused as arabs here in turkey. Sorry if I offended you I didn’t mean racism but getting you’re culture confused is so triggering

@@bored__cloud Aah okay you're right I know Turkish people have an own culture. But remember that there is not one "Arab culture".
