Salep? I hate cinnammon. But everything else is great, even şalgam. I adore Turkish food! If anyone dares to criticize it, she/he will have to deal with me!

My absolute favourite combination: Haydari, Acili Ezme, Tulum Peynir, Tereyağ, fresh pide, Raki !!!! yummmmmmmmyyyyyyyy

şıra and boza for to all who likes different tastes

The Ottoman courts passed laws to regulate the freshness of food. Modern Turkish food is notably fresh. Leftovers are uncommon in a household. Newly baked bread is a staple. Seasonal vegetables and fruits abound, and are served during the height of their growing periods. Turks love their famous eggplants, spring peaches, summer figs, fall quince, and delight throughout the year in olives, dried apricots, and all type of nuts. Turkey exports most of Europe's hazelnuts, or filberts.
It is common in the markets to taste before you buy. Holes cut into melons allow the shopper to taste first. Delivery boys bring tea on copper trays to shoppers while they sample the peppers, spices, and fruits. Sacks of linden tea, dried fruits, sea sponges, henna, jars of amber honey, olives, and spice blends compete for attention.
