is generally agreed among historians that yogurt and other fermented milk products were discovered accidentally as a result of milk being stored by primitive methods in warm climates. The word “yoğurt” is Turkish in origin. Most historical accounts attribute yogurt to the Neolithic peoples of Central Asia around 6000 B.C.. Herdsmen began the practice of milking their animals, and the natural enzymes in the carrying containers (animal stomachs) curdled the milk, essentially making yogurt. Not only did the milk then keep longer, it is thought that people preferred the taste so continued the practice, which then evolved over centuries into commercial yogurt making. Recorded history states that Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, and his armies lived on yogurt. It wasn’t long before word of the perceived health benefits of yogurt traveled through to other peoples, and the consumption spread throughout the East. The first industrialized production of yogurt is attributed to Isaac Carasso in 1919 in Barcelona - his company “Danone” was named for his son, “Little Daniel”. Turkish immigrants brought yogurt to North America in the 1700s but it really didn’t catch on until the 1940s when Daniel Carasso, the son of Danone founder Isaac, and Juan Metzger took over a small yogurt factory in the Bronx, New York - the company is now called Dannon in the United States. Yogurt with fruit on the bottom was first introduced in 1947 by Dannon. The popularity of yogurt soared in the 50s and 60s with the boom of the health food culture and is now available in many varieties to suit every taste and lifestyle.
I absolutely LOVE Istanbul!!! So happy that you're there for a while, can't wait to see what you get up to there! P.S more cooking!!!!! That meze looked delish Emma x
Aw thanks so much! We're loving it here so far.. managed to get out and explore a bit since releasing this video. So excited to be spending 6 weeks here!!
Excellent meal Emma. Good times ahead for you in Istanbul. My brother lived there about 30 years ago , but made life long friends and the cuisine and people hold a place in his heart. Look forward to your adventures.
Kavaklidere winery had been initiated by leader Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Akyurt Ankara Turkey in 1930s and they are successful in lots of shops of EU countries. Turkey has at least 25 winery companies producing in Turkey locally especially in Capadoccia and in Manisa, Izmir. Mustafa Kemal loved to drink alcohol every night, smoke 7 packets of cigarettes and drank 8 small cups of turkish coffe which had made him strong in body type, very slim even at age 56 years old, always wore tie and formal suits during the daytime.
You have just become my very bestest and favoritest youtuber when you said, Yogurt is Turkish, finally!!!! I'll contact my 100 cousins, to subscribe to your channel lol
Yes yogurt is turkish because the name is turkish. Origin of yogurt is coming from “yogur+mak”, anyway welcome to Turkiye. Nice to see you happy with turkish things...
Buy "suzme style yoghurt" next time, you just need to add little bit water, minced garlic and teaspoon of salt and voila, all the dish looks very delicious and well done by the way :))
Huh made me laugh with your comment on the origin of yogurt 😅 finally somebody acknowledged it. Wish you a nice stay in istanbul - good times ahead. Oh and you‘ll love the diverse cuisine. 💕
Alex and Emma! You are both lovely and great people. I have been watching your videos for a long time. You are making wonderful videos. I visited Kayakoy, Fethiye last month, came across your video when I wanted to search more about it on UA-cam then I watched your other videos. I live in Ankara, Turkey. Thanks to you, we know our country better because of you, we find the opportunity to see many places we have not seen. You may also want to visit the capital city of Turkey, make a video for it. You are always welcome. Hope you enjoy your time
Aw this is so amazing! So pleased that we could share some places in your country that you have not yet seen.. Thanks so much and I hope you continue to enjoy our future Turkey videos!! :)
Am i the only one who thought this lovely couple were from Black Sea region of Turkey? Don’t they look so native by appearance facial expressions etc. except the language of course.
Ah, we are jealous! We wanna be back in Turkey and especially Istanbul! We aren't city people but Istanbul is something special. The food looks amazing guys! You should have a spin-off show 'cooking with the beans'! Thanks for sharing ohh, yeah question for the has-beans. Hmmm... Do you ever cringe or get embarrassed by Al and his jokes? Cheers guys!
Thanks guys! Yeah, we've managed to get out and explore a bit since making this video and we can confirm that we are falling completely in love with this city!
hi guys , love your vlogs, you are doing a fantastic job. once you are back in England, i will give you cooking lessons on all turkish cuisine , plus many vegan / vegetarian dishes you will have not tried. please keep it up
Great Turkey videos TBs.... Have noticed production levels have changed for the better this series as well so well done.... Have added you to my Patreon list... Looking forward to coming episodes...
That parking lot must be a bazaar. However on specific days, 1-2 days per week. Turkish wines are one of best actually, however government has been trying to prevent wine business. That is one reason they sold Turkish Rakı and beer brands (Efes), and they tripled the taxes. Today alcohol is a luxury in Turkey.
Yoğurt is Turkish but we don’t go round making a big deal about it. Maybe we should, as Greeks are very good at stealing other people inventions. They even have Greek delight 😳. Greeks also tried to make a claim on Dolma (meal made using vine leafs) , Baklava ( discovered in a town called Gaziantep in eastern Turkey). Even some Turkish music was claimed by them. Yoğurt And dolma are Turkish words and so is doner. When I visited Bosnia, I have ordered dolma from a restaurant there. The owner without realising I was Turkish, told me they have learn to make dolma from the Turks. It was nice to know that ,they’re people out there,who don’t make a claim on other people’s cultural heritage,but happy to share and enjoy.
If you are looking for thicker yoghurt, ask for "süzme yoğurt" (filtered for the water). There is no water in it at all, it is kind of sour but most suitable for meze.
Your food look amazing! I would recommend the yoghurt called "Süzme Yoğurt" its much denser and it would not be watery when you whip it for the mezes :)
Bir sonraki sefere mutlaka manavdan alışveriş yapmalısın. Süper marketlerde satılan sebzeler lezzetli olmuyor. İyi eğlenceler, Türkiye'de güzel vakit geçirmen dileğiyle.
Get a nut milk bag or anything that will strain the yogurt while you sleeping at night than in the morning you've got yourself thick as cream cheese grade yogurt
* 660 Euro = 4200 TL. 2x more f kadıköy's suburban area fikirtepe. * market place sets up f only some days perhaps municipality changed dates it can be. * congrats u picked good brands but f bread i cant say y , try bread whc r in pocket most them r traditional Turkish breads. * yeah of course turkey has its wines because wine born in this land; Anatolia!!! and my advice grapes; Boğazkere + öküzgözü , the brand s up to u .
Hi love the video:) did you find your flat through RBNB? I am planning of going to Istanbul in few months for a month or two, please advise, thank you Ps. Love your vibe 😍
You stayed in very wrong place at the Asian side. This is the biggest urban transportation project area of Istanbul. It is a big mass there in terms of construction and to access to city life..
the market(pazar) where you looked for you is available only in fridays , i live there as well if you guys still here arround i would love to meet you :)
Although there are less "runnier" yogurts; there is white cheese in that garlic yogurt meze. The one called Ezine at 6:05 will do. You just mash it and mix it with yogurt. Apart from that, all looks genuine. :D Welcome to the big city. Have fun!
Thanks so much for the tip! I was trying to make some thicker garlic yoghurt to go with the aubergine.. although I do also want to try make haydari sometime too!
The market moved back to its original location in Hasanpaşa. The car park was just temporary... Well, for many years, actually. 😉 If you are in search for a great small beach, head to the Caddebostan Plaj. Upscale shopping and dining around Bağdat Avenue (Caddebostan to Suadiye area). There you may also find one of the smallest mosques from the 1920s. Best coffee places and bars in the Moda district. Look out for the Köşks (historic wooden houses), churches and the gorgeous Opera House. Kadiköy is the best. If you want to impress your parents with a great breakfast, head to Polonez Köy (Polish village) on a Sunday!
Thanks so much for the info! We will definitely go to check out the market at Hasanpaşa soon. That's great to know about the beach too.. thank you! I just searched Polonez Köy.. it looks like a beautiful green area! Is there a specific place that is known for it's breakfast there?
@@TravelBeans you are welcome. I did like Yeji Dohoda several years ago. On the way back I also recommend visiting one of the not so well known summer palaces: The Beykoz Mecidiye Kasrı. Nearby you can also find Beykoz Kundura, an old shoe factory from the Ottoman times, which is now used as film set and cutural center. Call if the café at the waterfront is open. Further on, when heading back to Kadiköy along the Bosporus, have lunch in Çengelköy and hop of in Kuzguncuk to have a look at the colorful historic houses (Instagram heaven).
where are you in istanbul I'm leaving next to youre place i think. I'm from philippines i always watch youre blog. Can i meet you guys to say hi? I"m a big fan of your's
The word yogurt is from Turkish yoğurt, which means "fermented milk" and refers to the method of it's production. But the greeks repräsented it to the World as if it was their own so we always have problems with greeks because they always claim Turkish national food as their own like cacık or Baklava and name it similar to the original name in turkish and ad some leters to the end like "i" to make it sound greek and a cacık turns to "zatziki".
Hahahaha #yogurt-gate who knew “was the bloody Turks” oh how u make me proper belly laugh. I think am fairly good at English being born n bred and very well fed from here in UK but I feel I want to become one of your students just to get more of you both. Keep up the amazing content you utter wombles COOOKEOUUTT!!!
Turkey was the homeland of wine in the ancient times. But still there are plenty of producers in Anatolia and Tracia.
Ahhhh... Finally somebody has said it! Yogurt is Turkish! 😁😁👌🏻
Actually it is the only word from turkish origin used inthe entire world
Yeah actually , it s from asia
@@nicochoco4881 Yes, it's Turkic. Therefore Turkish.
Ulan hilal.
Actually 80% of human population has turkic ancestors. So to say we are all turkish ;)
Turkish foods is best of the world.
then ya didn't see REAL food in your life ...!!!!!! how ridiculous your sentence is !!!
For all yoghurt mezes buy süzme yoğurt. I’d say eker is especially a good brand.
I live in the USA for almost 14 years I missed only Turkish bread:)
You are super sweet Emma and Alex super funny. There is so much positivity in your videos!! And yes, you are a natural cook Emma
Thank youuuu! :)

Hi Alex family come to istanbul go to kadıköy bazaar in "ÇİYA" restaurant . good times Travel Beans.
If you are looking for thicker yoghurt, ask for "süzme yoğurt" (filtered for the water). There is no water in it at all, it is kind of sour but most suitable for meze.
