TURKISH PRODUCTS AND CUISINE

CUISINE

Turkish cuisine is excellent, quality cuisine. We especially loved the the wide spreads of hors-d'œuvres called ("meze"). In Turkey, there are a great variety of restaurants available and at all prices. In major cities, and all over the country you have your choice of any number of succulent dishes in small local restaurants at very reasonable prices. Meze (hors d'œuvres) are often accompanied with raki or wine. Fish and seafood is always fresh and delectable. Don't hesitate to stop for a meal at any of the roadside restaurants. The lamb brochettes are excellent, the salads very tasty, and the spicy rice-stuffed vegetables are very savory. There are many delicious Turkish pastries, such as baklava (puff pastry, almonds, honey) or lokoums. Restaurants serve Raki, local wines and coffee.
