Turkish Food
köfte
(grilled meatball) place since 1920. No menu. They only serve köfte, fresh veg and
bread. 1920年から営業しているキョフテ(グリルしたミートボール)専門店。メニューはなく、キョフテと新鮮な野菜、パンのみ
Eggplant is very important for Turkish cuisine and very good everywhere
including tour buffet.

Chai is a staple
everywhere.
チャイは、どこでも欠かせない飲み物。ターキッシュコーヒーよりも重要らしい。
Sheeps'-milk cheese and sweet yellow melon (essential starters for raki), cucumber, tomato, thick yogurt and olives are also good everywhere. 羊のミルクのチーズとメロン(この二つはラクの前菜として欠かせない)、キュウリ、トマト、濃いヨーグルト、オリーブはどこでも美味しい。
Raki(rah-KUH) is a Turkish national
drink. Raki is clear brandy made from grapes and
raisins, flavored with pungent anise. It is similar to Greek ouzo, but consumed in totally
different ways. Mix with water (and ice) , so it turns milky white. Unlike
ouzo, which is like a vodka shot before meal, raki should be consumed with food
such as a medley of meze (hot and cold appetizers/tapas) or/and main course of
kebab or fish.
トルコの国民的ドリンク「ラク」は、透明な蒸留酒。ブドウから作られ、アニスで香りが付けてある。ギリシャのウーゾと似ているが、飲み方は全く違い、水(好みで氷も)を加え、乳白色になったところを飲む。ウォッカのショットのように食前酒としてストレートで飲むウーゾと違い、食事と一緒に味わう。沢山のメゼ(暖かいまたは冷たい前菜の小皿料理)や、メインのカバブか魚と一緒に。メゼは種類が沢山あるので、それだけで終わってもOK!
