Turkish Cuisine on Board:
Turkish food is one of three of the best types of cuisine in the world: French,
Chinese and Turkish. Turkish food is always a pleasant surprise for
the visitor. It has a very pure quality and the great variety and
simplicity of the recipes and the quality of the ingredients guarantee delicious
meals.
One of the popular meats in Turkey is lamb. Pieces of lamb are threaded on a
skewer and grilled over charcoal to create the famous Sis Kebab. Or try a
Doner Kebab, another famous Turkish dish, consisting of a roll of lamb on a
large skewer which turns over a hot grill. The meat is shaved off to serve
with salad or yoghurt and bread. Chicken is another popular meat dish, and
can be served in a variety of ways, from kebabs to roast chicken or chicken
guvec (casserole).
When travelling along the Mediterranean coastline, you must try some of the
local caught fresh fish it’s superb! The most popular fish of the region
include Sea Bass and Sea Bream, and are served fried or grilled. And why
not start with some delicious seafood such as crab, king prawns, shrimps,
anchovies or treat yourself to a lobster!
Turkey is famous for its quality, fantastic vegetables, look out for fresh,
superb tasting cucumber, large tomatoes, peppers, courgettes, potatoes,
beetroot... The aubergine is used in a wide variety of dishes from
karniyarik and hunkar begendi to patlican salatasi (fried aubergine, served
cold) and patlican dolmasi (rice stuffed aubergine). Dolma the name for any
vegetable such as vine leaves, cabbage leaves or green peppers that are stuffed
with spiced rice.
Rice features on all menus, and can be served in a variety of ways, such as
pilav. Borek are pies of flaky pastry stuffed with meat or cheese and are
delicious served hot or cold. You may notice restaurants where women are
making pancakes. These are gozleme, freshly made pancakes filled with
spinach or potato and cheese, or you will probably find honey and chocolate
spread in the tourist areas! Turkish bread is infamous! Served
deliciously warm just about everywhere, it is soft, very cheap, and
irresistible!
The delicious Turkish natural yoghurt is superb and comes in many different
strengths thick and creamy or runny and not fattening! You will find
it served with a lot of savoury dishes
Turkish deserts are famous throughout the world. Many of the pastries
have are sweetened in honey and are irresistible! Try baklava and kadayif
pastries. If you prefer not so sweet, try one of the milk-based puddings
such as sutlac (rice pudding) or tavukgögsü (chicken breast pudding).
But you don’t even have to eat all day in Turkey! You can pass the
time away sipping any of the number of time-passing custom drinks! Turkish
coffee is thick and strong, ayran is a yoghurt-based drink very cool and
refreshing, boza is a drink for winter nights - drunk cold and made from wheat.
And of course, you couldn’t visit Turkey without sipping the national
(non-alcoholic) drink tea (known locally as chai). Tea drinking is a
national custom, and you wont be able to go anywhere in turkey without being
offered some. Be warned, refusal often offends!
But if you want something a little stronger, Turkish beer (Efes)
is very easy to drink (even the butterflies are drink
efes beer in Turkey) on a hot summers afternoon, very cheap and very
Moorish! Raki is the national drink of Turkey. Drink it before dinner with
some meze (appetisers such as cucumber, nuts, cheese, melon), or drink it to
accompany your dinner while the night slips by as you listen to some classical
Turkish music. There are hundreds of different types of red, white and
rose Turkish wine. Perfect for accompanying some excellent fish or meat.
