Cuisine by mvtouring
Turkish cuisine has never gotten the attention it deserves as one of the world's finest. One of your here unnamed guides argues it even better than Italian. At the very least, it's breadth and history are impressive. The delicious variety of sweets, salads, fruits, grilled meat dishes, and soups reflect an empire that spanned from Northern Africa, to the Balkans, the Middle East and into Europe as far as Vienna. We will indulge in a variety of delicious and regional specialties, including stuffed peppers and grape leaves, cheese borek, fresh tomatoes and olives, feta cheese, grilled kebabs, rice pilav, figs, sweet baklava, pudding and cakes accompanied by Ephesus beer, a glass of Turkish wine, silted coffee, apple tea and raki -- the national, anise-flavored alcoholic drink that is shaken, not stirred
