Turkish Food

These pictures are thumbnails, click on them to see higher resolution versions.

Here's a common scene — a skewer of chicken kebab, along with an array of dried fruits and nuts. A quick sandwich for right now, or fruits and nuts to take away for later. Or both!


Starting the day with typical Turkish breakfasts. Sliced tomato Sliced cucumber Olives A boiled egg Various types of cheese Etmek (bread), with butter and jam And, of course, çay! (tea) Other common breakfast foods include yoghurt, often served with honey, and menemen, somewhat similar to Mexican huevos rancheros.

Gözleme for a mid-day snack. Like a crepe, with a wide variety of fillings. And Cappy, a line of drinks made partially from fruit juice.

Pide, or Turkish-style pizza. Fantastic stuff — cooked when you order it, with a wide variety of toppings. Optionally garnished with hot peppers.

Pernirli — cheese
Kıymalı — minced lamb
Yumurtlalı — egg
Karaşık — mixed

Lahmacun is on much thinner crust with finely minced meat and some tomato sauce. Much more of an Arabic style "pizza".

Simple mixed vegetable and potato stew

Plav (rice and orzo pasta pilaf)

Cacık (yoghurt with shredded cucumber and garlic, a bit of mint)

Beans

And, of course, great Turkish bread!

Mercimek çorbası (lentil soup)

Plav (rice and orzo pasta pilaf)

Mixed salad

Here are two large evening meals. Kebabs and plav, with bread.

To drink — Turkish Efe Pilsen beer, and ayran (a watery salted yoghurt, similar to what is known as kefir in Russia).

And at the end of the meal, a small cup of Turkish coffee.

Sip it slowly, let the grounds settle!

And maybe a hookah after your meal?
