What Do Turkish People Order at Turkish Restaurants? 🇹🇷

In Turkey, they usually deliver the manti, yogurt, and tomato sauce in seperate containers so you can combine them yourself and it looks better. :) I lived in Istanbul for 9 years so I was really happy to see this video!

[@zeynepcaner9852]

Hey Beryl, for the manti (as a personal preference) I go for melting butter and chili flakes (pul biber in Turkish) in a small pan until it heats up and blends together. Then you layer the manti with yoghurt followed by this butter-chili pepper final touch. You can (and should) have it with also dried mint. For "40 to fit", we refer to when manti is uncooked. and it's just an exaggeration :D

Hey Beryl! I'm from Barranquilla (Shakira's hometown), a city in the coast of Colombia. Most coastal cities in the country have strong turkish, lebanese/palestinian/syrian influence due to migration. It is very common to eat parritas (stuffed grape leaves), repollitos (stuffed cabbage), kibbe, kafta, hummus, marmaon, eggplant and other arab influenced foods. It always amazes me how far food can travel. Love your videos!

[@panajotov]

The meme regarding containers, Balkan version: soda bottle filled with brandy. This episode was really nice to see because I love Turkish foods. The Balkans are heavily influenced by Turkish cuisine, and zucchini pancakes are the best way to make kids eat vegetables. They usually soak up a lot of oil, but in waffle maker they come up crispy, delicious and not at all oily.

[@Ezgiboo]

The manti you got is actually HUGE! Lol I’m definitely not used to seeing them so big.. also, a garlic yoghurt with a tomatoey sauce on top with sprinkling of dried mint 👌🏼 🤤 Also, the Dolma or Sarma recipes change from region to region including size. My family is from Izmir and I was always told that they must be rolled long and thin like a pencil, without meat. Glad you made this video 😊

[@wargreysama]

As someone who is from İzmir, I FIND IT ABSOLUTE HERESY TO PUT MINCED MEAT INSIDE SARMA, THAT BELONGS TO DOLMA. Sarma must be with rice, whatever that grape like thing is called, and must be cooked with olive oil. My mom used to cook great sarma but due to her health issues she stopped that completely, buying some from Migros, which are quite similar to my mother's cooking makes me happy. I think branding is "Beypazarı" or something, absolutely delicious.

Okay but those in the video are definitely on the big side, and while not uncommon in Turkey either, the whole "to fit 40 in a spoon" type is regarded as the holy grail type and is a speciality of the city mentioned in the video (Kayseri); they are hard to find outside Turkey as making them is incredibly labourious due to their tiny size. Taste-wise it is really the same though texture-wise slightly different. By the way, ideal grape leaf dolma is also to be the size of a lady's finger, though again, not easy to find outside Turkey as making them that thin and long is too much labour...

In turkey it’s actually not called ‘dolma,’ what you ate is called ‘sarma.’ Dolma refers to stuffed peppers, sarma refers to stuffed grape leaves/cabbage.

I would love to see you do a Taiwanese takeaway edition! I feel like Chinese takeout is an obvious option, and has SO much scope given China has so many distinct cultural/ethnic cuisines within it, but I rarely see Taiwanese food being featured on larger platforms such as your own channel!

@4:25 def "5-second rules" apply here 😂 Done it a thousand times. Love that Beryl does it too.😊

Hi Beryl! Regarding ‘Dolma aka Yaprak Sarma’, I dont think the one you tasted cannot be good enough, since even in Turkey it is hard to find the good one in restaurants. You should try to make by yourself deffinately! Also you should know that ther are 2 types of sarma in Turkey ( w/out meat inside) . First is probably as you tasted, sweatness, spicer. Second one ( my fav) is actually made around Aegean side of Turkey ( İzmir) , with some herbs and that is it.

I love international foods and have eaten many of them. But watching this episode made me realize that I have not had true Turkish food. On a mission to find some in Miami, FL! By the way, Berkan's eyes are mesmerizing!

So happy to see Turkish food! You should follow this up with Greece, as much as our food is practically the same as Greeks, you can distinct them from each other also Greek food is awesome and you cannot live without trying pastitsio and bougatsa.

In our refrigerator, the thing that can never be missing is Ranch Dressing. Suitable for chicken nuggets, fries, salad, tofu pieces, wraps/ sandwiches, and such. It is the one condiment of choice that replaces salsa, catsup, and mustard, as important.

I would love to see an African country represented in one of the delivery videos 😍 I love Ethiopian and Nigerian food personally!

[@onurelem307]

I love your personality and how open you are for new things, really appreciate your energy …greetings from Germany from a Turkish rooted guy :)

[@andreideferrer]

In Brazil the same thing happens with the ice cream tins… but inside there are frozen beans!

[@barbaraferrada7314]

Same in Chile 😅

[@TheKingOfBeans]

Beans! 🫘

[@larindel1]

Wow, this looks so good! Unfortunately, the Turkish "restaurants" around my little German village only offer kebab, pide and lahmacun - but my husband has many Turkish colleagues, so he sometimes gets the chance to taste something he hasn't known before. I like cooking meals from foreign countries because I'm very curious about new tastes, but it's a little difficult to cook something without having any idea, what it's supposed to taste like.

Kunafe is a middle eastern masterpiece in my opinion. In my region it is made with goat cheese, to me it is the most delicious comforting dessert that exists . There is a great competition between restaurants and cooks whose is best, what a great dream job that would be to travel around sampling everyone’s version to decide and award the best kunafe!

[@keikos3390]

It just popped into my head that those full bangs that graze just above the eyes would look sooo good on Beryl! Anyway, I always always enjoy watching this channel. Beryl, your positive energy is so contagious 😆 Please keep spreading it around the world!

[@Cecilpedia]

May I suggest for your next food around the world episode that you do foods with rich histories? I live in Appalachia and a lot of our food has really cool stories behind it

[@roxanne2983]

Oh my gosh. I love seeing Asha's little face in the corner of the video, haha! So cute!

[@rebelcolorist]

I would luv to see you order Indonesian food... It is such a diverse array of textures and tastes, I think you'll love it 😍

[@avibarr2751]

I am Armenian and I know the pain of folding the dolma and manti. I tried surprising my mother making manti once and I started folding dumplings at like 5, dinner served at nearly 7:30 haha it is a labor of love but well worth it for these dishes

[@laughingbear2581]

I love Turkish food! I wish my area had options for restaurants!

[@worldtrotter6630]

Hi Beryl, I have been for quite a longtime enjoying your channel, not only because of the genius unifying idea behind it, its simplicity of showing we are so much more connected as seperated, but also because of your thruthfulness and great personality, which seems to lay in your family!!!:) anyway, it is so exciting to see your journey of discovery. I have been noticing it already for many years travelling and living around the world; there are so many similarities in dishes around the world that makes you ask, arent we not really a big family? This episode was a special one in many ways in this regard. You had Dulma, or Dolme or any one of the other names, taking the same dish, wine leaf wrap, from Portugal east to Gujarat India and south to Subsaharian Africa in every country. Then, you had also Mante, also known as Mantu, in every country in Asia including ex soviets Union countries, south Korea, Afghanistan and even eastern Iran. You also had the creamy eggplant dish. As you recognized similar to Baba Ganush in all Arabic, north African countries and Israel. But also quite similar to Mirza Ghasemi from Caspian Sea region of Iran, and many other names in Indian and other Asian cuisines. Recipies migrates as humans do. You can even observe the way of migration based on way of preparation of some basic stocks, such as rice. We know that Rice strarted its journey from China in two ways. One way from the north over land, and that is why all Asian countries up to Iran cook rice more or less in the same way, by washing and covering with water, yet each with different finesse. The other way over sea through African and Arabs sea trader. That is also the explanation of why Turks, Arabs, European and north Africans sweat the rice first in oil before adding water. You also can see the same journey from Tea. From the north called Chai, from the south China, called Tea, even based on the two different dilects, or rather languages, in the south and north China. These two are foodstocks migrating west. There are also two stocks who travelled around the world and created similar recipes eastwards; Tomatos and Potatoes, both globalized by colonialization of south America.

Hey beryl, i would love to see you do dominican republic in this series! Since you live in new york, there's probably a lot of great options! Also, I had an idea for a video that i think would be cool; Immigrant food..like a favourite dish you discovered because you're an immigrant in a different country. For example I discovered my love for food from different asian cultures cause i moved to canada from dominican republic as a child. I think it would be cool to see! Love your channel and i hope you have an amazing day!

[@infoscholar5221]

My wife teaches Communication/Public Speaking, etc, as a college professor. I am struck by how nervous the young lady was, talking to the camera. But her story was wonderful, and a great remembrance of her grandma.

[@yanjijay6752]

👋 Turkish food sounds good , the ice cream tin reminds me of the cookie metal containers & all we would find is sewing supplies 😂🤣

[@aliciarenon]

We don’t really have Turkish food in my hometown. But I’m on assignment in Boston and found a place that has all of this, and I am so excited to try it! Especially kunefe… I saw that on a travel channel and have been wanting to try it ever since.

[@larkendelvie]

What's always in my fridge is hummus :) That's a new thing in the last 5 years. Less meat more veggies and more beans.

[@starlight8554]

I’ve actually tried a bunch of these because I lived in Bulgaria and it’s pretty easy to get legit Turkish food there.

[@juliapernicka2698]

I would love to see the episode on Greek food. It’s one of my favorite but I always seem to get the same thing

[@anushkajamal]

Dolma is something that i wish i could eat 3 times a day 😭😭 it is sooo good
