TRADITIONAL TURKISH DISHESDöner Kebap Slices of marinated lamb on

a tall vertical spit and grilled as it slowly turns are delicious. The cooked parts of the cone of meat are cut in very thin slices by a huge sword-like knife, and arranged on a plate with Ace or flat pide (pitta) bread. This dish is the most formidable obstacle to the victory of the hamburger in the fast food market. Doner kebap in rolls with slices of pickle and chips is the most common stand-up lunch for city office workers.

TRADITIONAL TURKISH DRINKS

Page 68: TURKISH CUISINE AFİYET OLSUN ENJOY YOUR MEAL BEHİYE DR. NEVHİZ IŞIL PRIMARY SCHOOL

TÜRK KAHVESİ (TURKISH COFFEE) From the days of the Ottoman

Empire through the present, coffee has played an important role in Turkish lifestyle and culture. The serving and consumption of coffee has had a profound effect on betrothal and gender customs, political and social interaction, prayer, and hospitality customs throughout the centuries. Although many of the rituals are not prevalent in today's society, coffee has remained an integral part of Turkish culture.

Page 69: TURKISH CUISINE AFİYET OLSUN ENJOY YOUR MEAL BEHİYE DR. NEVHİZ IŞIL PRIMARY SCHOOL

Turkish coffee is served hot from a special coffee pot called "cezve". Tradition states that after the guest has consumed the coffee and the cup is turned upside down on the saucer and allowed to cool, the hostess then performs a fortune reading from the coffee grounds remaining in the cup. Rich in tradition and flavor, Turkish coffee remains a favorite today.

As the Turks say "To drink one cup of coffee together guarantees forty years of friendship".

TÜRK ÇAYI (TURKISH TEA) Turkish tea is full-flavored and too

strong to be served in large cups thus it's always offered in little tulip-shaped glasses which you have to hold by the rim to save your fingertips from burning because it's served boiling hot. You can add sugar in it but no milk, and you can have it either lighter (weaker) or darker (stronger) depending on your taste because Turkish tea is made by pouring some very strong tea into the glass, then cutting it with water to the desired strength. Serious tea-drinker Turks usually go to a coffee & tea house where they serve it with a samovar (Semaver in Turkish) so they can refill their glasses themselves as much as they want.

How to make good Turkish tea Tea must be stored in closed packages in such a way that it is not

affected by humidity and external odors. For best results, lime-free water, a tea-kettle and a porcelain

teapot are recommended. After rinsing the clean teapot with lukewarm water, put in one

teaspoon of tea per person, whilst the water is boiled in the tea-kettle.

Boiling water from the tea-kettle is poured into the teapot. The flame under the tea-kettle is turned down and the teapot is

placed onto the tea-kettle so that it boils with the steam underneath.

The tea must brew for 10-15 minutes. The tea is then ready for pouring into the small tea glasses,

usually 1/3 or 1/4 full depending how dark or how light you prefer your tea. The tea glass is then topped-up with hot water from the tea-kettle. The pot of tea should then be drunk within 30 minutes

RAKI (RAKİ) When one thinks of Turkey or

Turks, one is reminded of Raki. Although it is not known where or when this drink was invented, it is certain that the history of raki does not go as far back as wine or beer. There are many proverbs on raki which is the traditional Turkish drink. Raki is made from different fruits in different regions, but grapes, figs and plums are the main ones.

Today in Istanbul, drinking raki has its own traditional rituals. Most important is what it is to be partaken with. White cheese is the main and unchangeable "meze" of raki. Raki is usually drunk with cold dishes like tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce and seafood. Fish is also a favorite, especially mullet and mackerel. Due to the aniseed it contains, raki changes color and becomes a milky white when water is added and a glass of pure water to go with it gives a distinct pleasant taste.

AYRAN (BUTTERMILK DRINK) Ayran (yoghurt drink) has been one of

the most popular drinks of the Turks since the discovery of Yogurt among the Turkish tribes in Central Asia. It is simply made by diluting yogurt with water. Some salt is added to taste. Best served chilled.

It not only accompanies any meal but is drunk as a refreshing drink by itself especially during summer months. It is common among all regions of the country only the slight variation being its thickness. Especially in the south, for example, thicker ayran is preferred. But the best of this unusual but simple drink is made in Susurluk, near Balikesir, who are so proud of their bubbled ayran that they have a local festival for it in the beginning of September
