How is Turkish food like? I mean in Turkey itself, not kebab stalls abroad. I’ve heard reviews ranging from „mind-blowingly good“ to „so bad I’ve had to eat burgers“.
I've got genuine Turkish 'straunts by me and they are great. It was the first food I ever ate that got me wanting to drink red wine--in particular, your dish: the Iskendar Kebab. And having hummus with real, Turkish bread elevates your hummus experience (I can't stand flatbread pita). I think it's called Ramazan Pidesi or Ramadan Pide, pic. Allah be praised, but I love Turkish food! Plus, a real 'straunt won't be some jihadist joint where they don't serve alcohol (hence, wine story); they're fairly well civilized, though I can't speak for an actual place in Turkey itself, though I don't doubt they're fine in Istanbul proper.
>>22110123I respectfully suggest that asking a Turkish subreddit or forum would be better than asking this fucking place.
>>22110158lol, to be fair, he did ask /tv/ first. at least /ck/ is the right board this time.
1453 was the biggest setback in the history of civilization.

>>22110123>How is... like?The notion of "like" is implicit in "how". By asking "how", you're inquiring as to the state of something. The correct form is "How is Turkish food?" Alternatively, you can ask "What is Turkish food like?"There must be something unique about English here because this is an almost ubiquitous ESL mistake.
>>22110296Balking at common conversational English slang is peak ESL.
4chan *IS* ESLnow: Turkish food is alright. I'd rather get it in Germany than Turkey desu
>>22110272>BCE
>>22110326BC "Before Christ" is not only an English-language convention, but an imprecise Christianity-based one. To be fair, BCE and CE aren't much better, but they *are* better.If this assessment upsets you, feel free to cry about it on /pol/.
>>22110123You mean WHAT is it like. Not fucking HOW is it like?ESL.
>>22110332>reddit-spacing>ignoring the related content in the (11-post) thread
Idk, looks like low iq food.
>>22110329Keep your /pol/ flat-earth shit out of here. BCE is wrong. The entire epoch boundary is based upon the birth of Christ, whether you or I like it or not. You can think the incorrect one is better, but only the correct one is correct. At the least, don't expect to be taken seriously. If you have a factual argument >>>/his/ if you want to cry about it >>>/pol/ or >>>/x/ .
>>22110346>don't expect to be taken seriously.by who? by you? lmao
>>22110346>least angry christcü/ck/Especially with cooking, it should be BCE and ACE: before and after Columbian Exchange

>>22110123Greek but hairier.
>>22110366The CX, while undoubtedly good for /ck/, was prompted by the (perhaps over-)zealous Christianization of the New World, itself prompted by the expulsion of all non-Christians from Iberia during the historic Reconquista. If you take issue with Xianity, it would be the last event you'd choose as an epoch boundary. That said, I'm willing to meet in the middle and settle on Before Sushi and After SuShi: BS/ASS.
>>22110154> elevates your hummus experience (I can't stand flatbread pita)This. I can't stand US bread and pita is better for palifs, needs that fat and spices to give it flavor. Life is more enjoyable when you can break bread. Mmm making me crave hard cheese, onion and a nice chunck out of a loaf.
>>22110123>How is Turkish food like?"Turkish" food:all their food is non-turkish. greek/byzantine/persian and arab with various other copies from adjacent countries and destroyed cultures.if it was actually mongolian or central asian it would be turkish but its mostly a byzantine core with some other stuff added.the only thing they did add was ottoman gastronomic decadence, all defined by hedonism and gluttony.The so-called turkish delight (& halva) is persian since 1500 AD, at least.
>>22110391>If you take issue with Xianity, it would be the last event you'd choose as an epoch boundary.Except not, you lose. Try better mental gymnastics next time.>That said, I'm willing to meet in the middle Stuff your compromise. Total Me Victory.
>>22110427>can't make a comeback>you lose
>>22110302It's not English slang. The construction "How is it like?" is exclusively used by non-native speakers or native speakers heavily influenced by immigrant dialects.
>>22110429Nope, I have cemented a decisive victory in a pointless anonymous argument about calendars in a thread about Turkish cuisine, in a food board, on an anime forum. Any further chatter is just being a sore loser. Better luck next time.
>>22110123The best shit ever because i like the way their food tastes. If you want good local food ask the locals you wingus
>>22110433>or native speakers heavily influenced by immigrant dialects.So English slang?
>>22110433The phrase "how is [something] like" is so fucking common in English it is actually perplexing to hear somone reject it as ESL speak. Native and only language I know is English.

>>22110535It's a projecting/defensive ESL every time. I'm constantly reminded of the uptick in third-worlders browsing this board, but ironically through their misguided attempts to fit in by calling out throwaway terms/phrases that fluent English speakers say as ESL-speak. They have no true experience with naturally speaking the language in an English-speaking environment.
>>22110535>>22112132NTA and I understand different regions have different dialects but if I heard someone say "how is x like" in conversation I'd assume they're an ESL or that they have a double digit IQ. "how is x" or "what is x like" are the only constructions I've heard from native English speakers.
>>22110123>„mind-blowingly good“ to „so bad I’ve had to eat burgers“.accurate, that's my daily experience. some places make the food so great that you can't help but eat twice your usual capacity, some are so bad you'd rather munch on the salad and leave quickly.
>>22112141So you've heard two turns of phrase that are nearly identical to what we're discussing, and those are fine to you. But this other one that is a combination of those two that are fine to you? Just right out(means "incorrect" or "inappropriate"). Makes a lot of sense.
TALK ABOUT TURKISH FOOD
>>22112200But I'm not interested in man ass.
>>22112275so you think
>>22112275MORE FOR ME THEN
>>22110123I spent a couple weeks in Turkey a few years ago. It really depends where you go, just like most countries. The traditional dishes served in tourist areas are typically very good. The food in small towns is very cheap but nothing too special and not a lot of variety. Lots of fresh cheese, olives, and bread. I'm hoping to go back at some point.
It’s basically just variations of kebab tbqh
>>22110123If you want an honest answer, because of its history and its geography it varies a lot, its among the best cuisines A tier overall and a lot of variety with inspiration from all nearby countries of course, mostly from greece I would say. A lot of meat variants of course kebab variants many big cities have their own "known for food city" like "iskender kebab" or "adana kebab". The fast food also changes, izmir kumru is great, turkish breakfest is toptier, and all coastal cities have great seafoods. All the greens and fruits were fresh and amazing. Tirit in konya was my favorite meal I loved lahmacun, and all the soups were great, especially the lentil soup. All the food was great, my only dislike is most of the desserts are just sugar with more sugar. Sure baklva is very tasty but I aint eating more than 2
>>22112187Dumb ESL.
>>22110123It's really good. Shares a lot with Arab food and Mediterranean food which are also really good
>>22110123I think it depends. Iskender kebab is amazing, cig kofte is an interesting cold dish, lahmajun and pide are good snacks. Funnily enough I think Turkish doner kebab kinda sucks ass because they serve it really dry without enough sauce. Balik ikmek and seafood in general is both cheap and delicious in Istanbul. On desserts I think dondurma is amazing and a texture you can't get anywhere else and kunefe is genuinely incredible. The rest tend to be largely some variety of "dough soaked in syrup" with little variation in taste save for baklava.I would like to personally shill one thing that might not be too well known which is salep, a thick hot drink made of the same starchy stuff they make dondurma out of, they sell it during the colder months.In general I think the overall flavour profile isn't too far removed from general "western" sensibilities that a tourist would be too off-put by a random dish they order.
>>22113645very on-topicgreat contributionyou are the bestkill yourself while you're on top
I like Turkish food. Remember it being rich in vegetables, quiet a lot of rice and bread. Also they have a real sweet tooth over there.Wouldn't recommend going to turkey, but the food was good
They have lots of good eggplant dishes like patlican orturtma. Their sweets are too sweet. I can’t post the photo I want because it’s too big and iOS no longer has the option to shrink.
tasty
>>22110499>>22110535Wew. So this is the stage we've got to. Kids are so poorly educated that they actually think they aren't incorrect and will argue until they're blue in the face.
>>22115299You just don't know what slang means, despite quoting a post that has the definition in a picture.
>>22113977Isn't cig kofte no longer made with real raw meat? IIRC somebody mentioned that, after some food poisoning (which had originated in one of Erdogan's relatives' meat processing plant, kek), Papa Roach ordered the meat to be replaced with sweet bell pepper paste.
Turkish food look like literal slopit's like if Indian and Arab food was mixed
>>22114190>Their sweets are too sweet. The ones made with fruit (pestil, cevizli sucuk, macun etc.) are fine. The ones made from sweet dough drenched in syrup are quite cloying, true.
>>22110123It's okay, if you like med food you'll like turkish food as well>>22110329It is objectively worse as it copy pastes the christian calender then thinks it achieves something by crossing out the christianity part. If atheists weren't cucks they'd pick a new year 0 like Robespierre did
