It has only elements of local cuisine and is designed specifically for tourists. Due to the specifics of the products that are used for the national cuisine, not all dishes can be prepared in other countries.

In Russia, for example, porridge, in Europe breakfast cereals and milk are common, but in Turkey a large number of different food products are served for breakfast. On the Turkish table during the morning meal you can always see: white cheese, namely cheese, olives, butter, various vegetables, bread, sweets in the form of honey and jam and even stew. If breakfast is planned to be more dense, then serve fried sausages and fried eggs. As a rule, after breakfast, satiety remains for more than half a day.

As a drink, tea is served, traditionally in small glasses. Turkish tea helps to quench your thirst. Traditionally, local tea is brewed in "two-story" kettles: one teapot is heated from below by the steam of the second. If you like this tradition, then in any souvenir shop you can choose the same curiosity and bring it home, where it will remind you of how your holiday in Turkey was.

Among other things, sitting at the dinner table, you can find on it an unusual strong roasted bagels, equally sprinkled with sesame. This sweetness is a national Turkish product and is called "Simit". It will be offered to you in almost any area, and you can eat it on the way to the excursion. Simites are cut along and smeared with goat cheese or chocolate paste. But even without fillers, this bagel is delicious, because it uses special flour for its preparation. In addition to everything that is listed above, the Turks for breakfast are served olive or vegetable oil with the addition of various condiments. White bread is dipped in it and immediately sent to the mouth. This dish is very useful for health, and is especially suitable for reception on an empty stomach. So there is a natural cleansing of the body.

There is a "write" dish in Turkey - it is a substitute for Russian pancakes, but it is prepared from a normal yeast dough (which is suitable for Russian pies), deep-fried, served with jam.

You can really appreciate the cuisine of Turkey only on the spot.
