  1. I would return the plates so clean they wouldn’t need to wash them.

  2. Now I want to go to Istanbul! Can you name some of these dishes?

  3. Hey OP, i’ve been to turkey 3 times, i love your food culture!

    Can you maybe share a traditional recipe for lahmacun with me?

    Also at many restaurants for “starters” there is served some flatbread with a fresh minty dipping sauce and some small pickled chilis, what are the names of those?

  4. [Here is the whole list:](https://imgur.com/a/Kwb6ud7)

    1- *Pide* – Flat bread (The word *pide* is the origin of the word *pizza*)

    2- Green leaves (parsley, rocket, mint etc.)

    3- Strawberry jam

    4- *Dut pekmezi* – mullberry syrup

    5- *Menemen* – scrambled eggs with tomato, pepper and maybe onions

    6- Skewered meat with *lavaş* bread (flat bread)

    7- Apricot jam

    8- Fried *sucuk* – spicy and fermented Turkish salami

    9- Fresh cheese and olives

    10- Butter

    11- *Kaymak* – fresh cream

    12- Fresh curd cheese with blackberry jam

    13- Pink tomatoes with small pepper pickles

    14- *Kuymak* – melted cheese with cornmeal

    15- Feta cheese on dried figs

    16- *Sahanda yumurta* -Eggs sunny side up

    17- Honey

    18- Bottomless Turkish black tea

    This is a luxury breakfast to have in a restaurant and it’s not the whole thing yet. As you eat, more things like *böreks* and other pastries will come. Home breakfasts may contain many more items than this.
