I'm originally from the UK but have been living in Turkey for twenty years now. The food quality, variety, and taste here are incredible, as you've experienced. There are specific reasons for this. Turkey hasn't succumbed to the trend of frozen food and microwave meals; instead, food is prepared fresh. My Turkish wife and I have a fridge freezer, but the freezer section is always empty because she cooks everything fresh. Additionally, each area has its own market where local growers sell fresh produce. When I visit the UK now, I can instantly tell if vegetables or fruits are fresh or not. The food in Turkey is amazing. However, one downside is that although the food is affordable for Westerners, prices have surged in the last few years, making it financially challenging for many struggling Turks. Nonetheless, I'm pleased you enjoyed it. Have you tried Turkish breakfast yet? It's a must-try!

I have to add my respect and admiration for Turkish cuisine. I lived in Türkiye for a few years having travelled the world and not eaten better. Partly I think it is the quality of their produce. I wish they paid & respected their farmers/peasants more but they don’t. Around the world, villagers/peasants/small holders are completely undervalued. Very sad 😔

Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird 'turkey'...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) In the past 40 years 37 countries have changed their name, partially or fully. Obviously one can not change the name of an apple or an orange etc in other languages, but country names are like peoples' individual names, so if you're named John we don't call you Karen. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '-iye', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '-ia', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Indones-ia etc. Basically, the use of '-iye/-ia' is the same as the the use of '-land' suffix in country names like Ire(Eire)-land, Po(le)-land, Eng(Anglo)-land and so on and so on. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish been over 10,000 years is much older than Latin which is around 1300 years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble (to sound like) 'Türkiye' we got various spellings like; Turq-uía (in Spanish), Turch-ia (in Italian), Turq-uie (in French) Turk-ei (in German) Turk-ey (in English) Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as turkey was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named turkey.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird 'Turkey Fowl' to define 'Turkish Chicken'... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the harehound simply as Greek or you don't call the terrier Britirsh, or shepherd as simply German, but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just 'Turkey' and later 'turkey', and this went on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this caused confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on an atlas. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)

This was a pleasant watch, glad you enjoyed the food. The first dish was Lahmacun, locals enjoy rolling it with lemon juice, lettuce, tomato, parsley etc. before eating it. The second dish is Tomato Kebab, they usually put tail fat in all kebabs, that's what makes it soft, juicy and a bit crispy. The last and also my favorite dish is Kavurmalı Kaşarlı Pide, pide with kaşar cheese and kavurma beef cubes and and it just works.

The problem with Turkish cuisine is that it needs more advertisement. Our people need to learn how to introduce and promote the food. You cannot find this food in any Italian restaurant. However, when you enter an Italian restaurant, a stylish waiter welcomes you and sets the mood. Still, you pay for the ambience rather than the food quality (if you compare it to a Turkish restaurant). On the other hand, in a Turkish restaurant, you pay for the delicious food... During my trip to London, I tried kebabs that were underwhelming, and I realized that to fully appreciate kebabs, one must visit Turkey.
