INTRODUCTION – WHERE EUROPE AND ASIA MEET…
Turkey embraces both modern and ancient culture, has very deep-rooted traditions and a dominant religion – Islam, which is of considerable importance to the majority of Turkish people.
THE TURKISH LANGUAGE
TURKISH CULTURE: CUISINE
Turkish people are real food lovers! They are especially keen on eating bulgur (a kind of wheat), pilav (Turkish rice), different kinds of soups, meat (e.g. köfte, şiş kebap), mantı (a kind of pasta), menemen (an omelette), lahmacun (crispy bread topped with minced meat and salad), dolma (stuffed peppers), etc.
Their famous desserts are: baklava (layers of dough with butter, sugar syrup and a variety of nuts), aşure (a pudding that includes nuts, apricot, garbanzo beans, golden raisins, bulgur or barley and some other ingredients depending on the chef), künefe (a sweet cheese pastry) and many others.
What is more, a cup of black tea is an indispensable part of the Turkish culture and a symbol of getting together and socializing. When I was living in Balıkesir (a city in the Western part of Turkey), I even saw some cups of black tea in the streets next to trees!
I hope you enjoyed this article. More articles about Turkey are coming! See you soon!
