TURKISH FOOD TOUR in Istanbul | GIGANTIC döner kebab, mouthwatering Kokoreç, midye dolma | DELICIOUS

[@mtcs6701]

I am obsessed with turkish ice cream! I love the chewy & quite resistant texture of it! The reason for why turkish ice cream in Turkey tastes a lot more original / fruity is because of the stricter food additives regulations in Turkey that basically restrict the use of some artificial additives that are allowed in most other countries, so that most of the time for example cherry flavored ice cream actually has a lot of real cherries in it instead of just cherry aroma!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Mert Mertt, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Hope you enjoyed this video. I am a huge ice cream fan so dondurma was heaven! Thanks so much for the information about why the flavours always taste so pure and fresh- that makes total sense! Can't wait to return to Turkey soon to eat more! Hope you enjoy the rest of the series mate. Cheers, Sheena

Hi guys, that sandwich looked fantastic. I love Turkish food it’s so good, what a great experience for you both, I love your channel

[@ChasingaPlate]

It was sooooo good FitAngie! Istanbul was such a magical city- we fell in love with it. The Turkish food we have in NZ doesn’t hold a candle to what we ate there. Thanks for watching and commenting mate. Hope you’re having a brilliant weekend! Cheers, Sheena 😄

[@trebutuoy]

@@ChasingaPlate You should start eating doner, kokorec etc. as soon as you get them; believe me you are losing half the taste when the meat and the bread have cooled down.

[@waynekerr7838]

That doner is the biggest edible object I've ever seen ! Looks like something out of a science fiction movie !

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Wayne Kerr! hahaha same!! It was unbelievable how big it was! You know somewhere has to be good when they're confident enough to start the day with something that big and know they're going to sell it all. It was REALLY good too! Maybe I should have gone with some science fiction style music 😂 Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀

Hi SaRaH Kruch. Thanks for watching! This was an EPIC food day. Those mussels were really good! I wish I'd been able to see how they stuff them as I imagine it wouldn't be too easy!

Is it easy to find in NY? 😄

[@FoodandFootprints]

Chasing a Plate - Thomas & Sheena Sadly, no! We are always looking for it. I (Greg) am half Greek, and have eaten kokoretsi several times at Greek Easter celebrations.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Ahhh yes of course, it’s kokoretsi in Greek cuisine! Yum!! Would love to taste the Greek version one day 😍

[@MsKestrela]

Yes, I'm sitting here drooling. Everything looked SO amazing! I'm a big fan of offal meats, so that sandwich in particular had my salivary glands exploding.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Help me please. Where can i find good gozleme in istanbul?

[@AO-iv6yr]

I can tell the ice cream is great because of the unconventional flavours and that it's authentically-done and not mass-produced. There are times where you just want a simple sandwich with true meat in it and what you ate epitomises that :)

[@ChasingaPlate]

We love it when our viewers totally get us and our content A O 😍 people who understand food and who value fresh flavours, simplicity and authenticity. It’s so cool! Hope you enjoyed this one.

Another mouthwatering video....I don't think I have tried Turkish ice cream before.......added to list..

[@ChasingaPlate]

Do it OBIE! It’s usually very much characterised by the ice cream seller flinging the ice cream all over the show to demonstrate its stickiness.

[@cbrbb1]

Turkish style ice cream has orchid seeds in it, mastic is just one of those flavors like lemon or chocolate and it's also a flovor of pudings, turkish delight, turkish coffee etc. or just served in water with turkish coffee..:) and there's this specific turkish ice cream from Maras region that is made by basically pounding that orchid, milk and ice mixture gives this super sticky texture to the ice cream so that you can eat it with knife and fork.. (also the other popular thing with the orchid seeds is salep or sahlep, which is a hot milky orchid drink topped usually with cinnamon)

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi cbrbb1, thanks for the information about the orchids! I believe mastic resin is also added to dondurma and contributes to the texture as well as the flavour. The ice cream from Maras sounds amazing- would love to try it one day soon! Thanks for watching this one- hope you enjoyed it. Thinking about everything we ate makes us want to jump on a plane to Turkey right now! Cheers, Sheena

[@cbrbb1]

well mastic definitely contributes to texture when it’s added because it’s like a natural gummy...but mastic ice cream is a kind of ice cream, you’ll usually find a plain ice cream which is sade dondurma and mastic ice cream which is sakizli dondurma - i with no dots:) - next to each other in almost every ice cream parlors, because they’re different 😉 loved you guys and your videos as well that’s why I wanted to contribute..

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Hang Tuah, there are a lot of kebab stores in NZ aren’t there? The ones here, like we mentioned in the video are so different to what we ate in Turkey though.

Love the nose to tail eating and meat in bread cannot beat it world over. But those mussels caught my attention!! Tell me more about those bad boys. (Ive DM you for the "inside scoop"). Dondurma oh stop it. The Guilts at buying a Gelato yesterday (well it was open) on a gorgeous Good Friday afternoon (social distancing of course) made it taste so much better. But that Cherry, lemon, and Chocolate combo l was there. Could taste it as if l was on the streets of Istanbul with you. 👍

[@ChasingaPlate]

Aren’t the mussels amazing. Such cool wee things. Would love to see them getting made. I answered your DM but for anyone reading this they cook the rice first and then pop it in the uncooked mussel before cooking the mussel. Very neat. Haha good one with the gelato. That dondurma was amazing. On our return visit to Istanbul we made sure to make the trip there for more. Sadly it would take an hour or so to get there from where we were staying so we didn’t get to have as much as we wanted. Love it. Thanks for watching! Cheers, Thomas 😀

Selam Tuğçe 07, üzgünüm Türkçe altyazılı değil Toplum katkılarını sağladık ama umarım birileri ius'un çevirisine yardımcı olabilir! İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler ve umarım görsellerden hoşlanmışsınızdır! Türkiye'ye yaptığımız ziyareti çok sevdik ve daha fazla ülkeyi görmek için sabırsızlanıyoruz. Şerefe, Sheena

[@justrk3980]

Hopefully you both can become huge like Mark Wiens

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Roti Tampal. Thanks for the support! We'd love to see growth like that one day. We eat at some of the most incredible local places around the world and we'd love the channel to be bigger so we can share them with more people. Thanks for watching this one! Cheers, Thomas 😀

[@Cassieskins21]

Lovely food. But that kebab and the muscles were crying for sauce!

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Gemma C. Thanks for watching this one and we hope you liked it! The meat on the kebab was so perfectly marinated and spiced so didn't need any sauce. It was all about the meat and that was perfect. The muscles were very delicate in flavour so lemon was the perfect thing to go with them. 😋😋 Cheers, Thomas

[@vannaathanasaki837]

THOMAS & SHEENA HAPPY NEW YEAR

[@ChasingaPlate]

Happy New Year vanna athanasaki!! Thanks for watching this one mate! Hope we can make it to Greece sometime soon to film as well- I really, really want Thomas to experience your beautiful country! Hope you enjoy the rest of the Istanbul series! Cheers, Sheena

[@eddies8174]

Very informative video but you need to speed up. You keep showing that Kokerlec sandwich more then necessary.

[@ChasingaPlate]

Thanks for watching. Thomas

[@ibrahimalas3645]

Turkish subtitles please

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi İbrahim Alaş, sorry we don't have them on here! Hope you enjoyed this visuals anyway. We loved Turkey so much and can't wait to return! Thanks for watching and commenting on this one. Cheers, Sheena

[@mrelalemever]

Just FYI: kokoreç is not what you said it is. It is lamb intestines

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi mrrelalemever, the various offal is all wrapped in lamb intestines like we said in the video. Hope you enjoyed this video. Cheers, Sheena

[@mrelalemever]

@@ChasingaPlate Hmm. I am pretty sure what they wrap inside is 'mumbar' which is the large intestine. At least in the Turkish version of it. But anyway, great video nonetheless

[@AksarayuRoNe]

I can not eat since 3 years Kokoreç. I live in Berlin and can't get here :(((((((((

[@ChasingaPlate]

😭😭😭😭 sorry to give you cravings Ugur Caglayan! But we do hope you enjoyed eating vicariously through us until you get a chance to get back to Turkey! We ate some great doner in Berlin- that’s the next series we have coming up! Hope you enjoy the rest of our Istanbul series mate. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers, Sheena

[@Dedimoldu9]

[@PrinceRightyI]

Just wondering, is there any crazy Turkish kebab vendor selling sandwich filled with Çokokrem instead of meat? 😂😂😂😂 Long time no see. Lots of miles traveled. 😂

[@ChasingaPlate]

[@Xmailon]

Kokoreç only consists of intestines of lamb nothing else

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi Xmailon, thanks for watching. I believe it's intestines wrapped around sweetbreads? It definitely wasn't just intestines- we eat a tonne of offal so can pick all the bits quite easily 😀 Hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, Sheena

[@Dedimoldu9]

Hans and Gretel invented the doner? That is news to me...

[@Dedimoldu9]

Ulrich and Dirk from 1840s invented the doner in small town of Wittislingen, I believe

[@hoyratjurnal]

Istanbul is the worst place u can be in Turkey. u didnt taste anything yet

[@ChasingaPlate]

Hi HoyratJurnal, it was so brilliant that we were able to access food from different regions and cities in Turkey in Istanbul- often the way with capital cities! We ate so well but are super excited to see more of the country! Whereabouts are you from? Thanks for watching and commenting 😄 Cheers, Sheena
