Our Turkish food tour continues as we try out two very different köfte, Trabzon Akçaabat Köfte and Çiğ Köfte. These two ‘meatballs’ fall on opposite ends of the spectrum, one straight up meat, the other completely vegetarian, yet neither are any less delicious than the other.
Our first stop for this street food tour in Turkey is in town to try Çiğ Köfte from one of the more well-known places that specialize in this dish throughout Turkey. Afterwards, we continue our Turkish food tour and head to a local shop to try the special Trabzon Akçaabat Köfte. The quality of Turkish food in this restaurant is like no other, and the hospitality was unbelievable.
We hope you enjoy our Turkish street food tour of Trabzon in Turkey, as we compare Trabzon Akçaabat Köfte and Çiğ Köfte. Köfte is a very popular street food in Turkey and the variety of them changes depending on the region, so in this Turkish food tour we just had to try out the extra special Black Sea version!

Ferdi, you are so right, Turkey IS a food paradise! There is so much variety to try it feels unending, we love it. That's a good suggestion, maybe something we can think about doing in the future. Also, have you been able to use the Turkish subtitles? If you watch the videos in a browser on your computer, you can choose to translate the English ones we've created into Turkish. Thanks so much for watching :) it makes us happy that you are enjoying the videos!!

[@ferdisokmen2824]

@@HungryTwoTravel Thank you,happy New year

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Same to you :)

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Hi Ferdi, we recently noticed that we had an issue with our subtitles, and have fixed it. Now all of our videos have Turkish subtitles! We hope this helps you enjoy our videos better, and that you continue to enjoy our content ☺ All the best!!!

Hi from Trabzon, nice to have you here in my hometown. If you ever visit my Trabzon again, also try Kalkanoğlu Pilavı and Sürmene Pidesi.. And don't forget to attend a Trabzonspor match :)

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Hello Yusuf! Thanks for the suggestions, we would love to go back to Trabzon someday, such a nice city and such good food 🤤 thanks for watching :)

[@toby986]

The food looks amazing. I eat a lot of vegetarian dishes so I would love to try the Cig Kofte especially with the pomegranate sauce! I love watching your 'food travels'.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Hey Toby! Thanks again for watching and commenting 😊 great to hear from you! If you enjoy vegetarian dishes we think you'd really enjoy cig köfte. It has such a good flavour and the pomegranate molasses really adds to it. All the best, Toby!

[@devrimhusrevoglu4356]

So jealous guys. Keep up the good work! I've only had the OG Cig Kofte, and I loved them!!!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks Devrim :)

[@A.L.P.D.]

What would u prefer? Hamburgers or köfte? I like hamburger but köfte is another level.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Agreed! Köfte are so tasty and we love that there isn't a bun involved 😄 just all meat!

[@A.L.P.D.]

@@HungryTwoTravel Then I wish u: "Afiyet olsun!" - Bon appetit :)

[@kaankaracuk1595]

Turkiye is meat and kofte heaven.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Completely agree!! Such good meat and food here, it's insane.

[@paularound4876]

Loved it! I definitely think I'd prefer the meaty one😋!

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Yes! The meat köfte was definitely something special ;)

[@leyrevikinga]

I love your videos in turkey👍

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks so much, Leyre :) we are loving it here!

[@kitchenimposter3241]

I’m laughing with Steph at that hand print. I don’t know about this…. Would you eat it again?

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Definitely different! I think I (Steph) would most likely have it in a wrap if I tried it again, those looked good!

[@i.k.8868]

Did you visit the old town of Akçaabat? It has the best preserved timber mansions in the Trabzon region, and the church has recently been restored.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

That does sound interesting! But no we didn't get a chance to visit unfortunately, maybe next time ;)

[@ahmetgazikorkmaz61]

Kamiloğlu meatballs are number one in Trabzon

[@HungryTwoTravel]

They really are! So delicious and juicy, and the Usta is amazing as well, such great hospitality.

[@hopeless-biri]

If you want to taste a different flavor, I recommend the famous "Arabaşı" especially in Yozgat region. The way of eating is a little different. You can dip the special dough into the soup and swallow it without chewing it in one go. The bigger slices you swallow, the more respect you get. KZbinrs usually do not know this dish. Değişik bir lezzet tatmak isterseniz, özellikle Yozgat yöresinde meşhur "Arabaşı" tavsiye ederim. Yeme şekli biraz farklıdır. Özel hamurunu Çorbaya batırıp çiğnemeden tek hamlede yutarsınız. Ne kadar büyük dilim yutarsanız o kadar saygı görürsünüz. KZbinrlar genelde bu yemeği bilmez.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Wow that sounds an interesting dish and different way of eating for sure! We'll have to look into that, thanks Biri

[@hopeless-biri]

@@HungryTwoTravel Hahaha!.. o bölümünüzü sabırsızlıkla bekleyeceğim. Harikasınız.

[@hopeless-biri]

If you can't find the "Arabaşı" food, you can ask the "Yozgatlılar Derneği" in your province. They can assist you.

[@A.L.P.D.]

Hey guyz. Include in the video also the people from where u r visiting, restaurant shops, streets. Dont be shy. Get in contact. Our people love foreigners to talk and to know. They would also help u with the dishes and explain and tell u where u can get the best food etc. Plus, u could get more YT viewers. Turkish people love youtubers :) Go tell them that u have a Vlog on KZbin and that ur now making videos about turkish food ;)

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks for the tips, Alp! Everyone has been so friendly and kind so far, you're right Turkish people are very helpful from what we've experienced :)

[@A.L.P.D.]

@@HungryTwoTravel Happy traveling. Love ur videos.

[@HungryTwoTravel]

Thanks Alp!! 🤗

[@kayacenk4164]
