I'm sorry, but as someone from Turkey, I have to say that no one can beat the Balkans when it comes to börek. It's incredibly rich in ingredients and so delicious. In Turkey, you can only find really good börek at home, where making money isn't the main concern. However, when it comes to börek sold on the streets or in shops, the Balkans are the best option. Much love
meeh... it depends on where you eat. Generalizing it is just weird. Do you really claim that everywhere in the Balkan peninsula (which also covers partially Turkey btw) has the best börek? Oh cmon... lol
I live in Istanbul. There is no minced meat in the 100 lira pastry. But you may see a politician traveling in a convoy in his Mercedes. Here, my friend, the minced meat in the 100 lira pastry is now the fuel of that Mercedes.

I think depends how good is the chef who makes the byrek rather then which country . byrek is made all over Balkan is cheap meal for breakfast or any time of day . 🇽🇰 🇦🇱
I ate "Börek" in Istanbul - Bosnia - Belgrade and Tirana, they were all different. They all touch your tongue like angel wings! ...

As a Turkish person I can not be completely objective, but boreks in Istanbul, Western Anatolia and Bosnia are definitely heaven for month, I will try eating in Serbia as well, most Balkan meals are similar inevitably because of empire legacy like borek, kofte and dolma
Turkish language, Uzbek language & Japanese language have very similar rhythms and tones. Origins of Turkish are from central Asia, no wonder why most of central Asian understand Turkish.
Ngl all of Balkan foods are very similar, but also very unique. I sincerely think Turks make better salty pastries while Serbs make better sweet pastries. Never visited Albania but I bet their borek is amazing too

Börek is a Turkish name so it’s obvious where it is originally from 🇹🇷😉. And also Turks have the most variety of Börek. To me Balkan böreks taste almost the same, but Turkish böreks are very different even among themselves. Which is the best depends on the quality and quantity of the ingredients and chef’s talent rather than the countries.

Albanians are not an educated migrant class like the Greeks are now. In the 'new world' USA, Canada, Australia etc everyone knows Balkan pastries like spanikopita as being Greek and they're advertised as such in supermarkets.

@@alexrenn2479 It's ironic that a Greek should say this, the so-called "Greek" cuisine consists of 90% Turkish food, your "traditional" instrument, the bouzouki, is a copy of the Turkish baglama and its name comes from the Turkish word "bozuk", and the language you speak has over 3000 words of Turkish origin.
@@erdemozcan5435 Pork, olive oil, cheese, bread, vine leaves, seafood and many other main ingredients of Greek cuisine DID NOT come from Turkish cuisine and existed well before the Turks invaded and occupied Greek lands, including in Anatolia. In Ottoman times Greeks were the dominat group in commerce, which included cafes, restaurants and pastry shops, whilst most Turks were agrarian people. Apparently the baglama has its roots in Persia and in any case Greeks popularized the instrument globally and made their own music out of it. Most of Turkey's cities and towns, including Istanbul. Izmir, Bodrum, Bursa, Trabzon, Sinope, Giresun and many many more were all originally Greek and most of the significant attractions, such as Hagia Sophia were built by the Greeks, so don't talk too much. The most popular and fancy Turkish summer towns, Eski Foca, Cesme and A;lacati were all former Greek towns until the 20th century. The truth is that Turks took a lot lot more from the Greeks, than anything they gave, your audacity is mortifying. Even many of your supposed most famous people were originally Greek, such as the architect Sinan, and your most celebrated football player Lefter Küçükandonyadis. All the most beautiful and significant buildings in Istanbul right up to the 20th century, were either commissioned, financed, designed or built by the Greeks, especially in Beyoglu (a Greek area of istanbul where the remaining community still owns lots of valuable property) and all the palaces were designed by the Armenian Balyan family and that's because both these groups were the dominant, commercial, professional and educated peoples of the former Ottoman Empire. You should be very grateful of their incredible contribution, not the other way round. If you don't believe me about the Greek contributions to Istanbul and Turkey, especially in architecture and the built environment, just do some research, there's plenty of info online.
Balkan Turks were brought there from Anatolia. That means they brought their culture with them. It has nothing to do with Balkans. Burek is already a Turkish origin pastry. burek, burmak verb in Turkish. Börüök in Yakuth Turkic too.

Greeks have moved on to professional positions now and are the best educated and integrated ethnic community in Germany, Austria etc. Albanians even dominate the souvlaki stores in some Greek urban areas because that's what poor, peasant, uneducated migrants do for a living in their host countries. Albanians are not an educated migrant class like the Greeks are now. In the 'new world' USA, Canada, Australia etc everyone knows Balkan pastries like spanikopita as being Greek and they're advertised as such in supermarkets. Also, the Ottoman Empire was not exclusively the 'Turkish empire. in other words Greeks, Armenians, Slavs, Jews, Albanians etc were a part of it and Greeks with Armenians dominated the commercial (including cafes and pastry
shops/factories} andprofessional positions, diplomatic even, because they were the educated class as well. You don't
have to believe me, just research it and you will be enlightened. Finally, I'm not from Greece.
Start here: "] Despite losing their political independence, the Greeks remained dominant in the fields of commerce and business"
Keyword is 'Dominant'. Now look up Ottoman Greece in English on wikipedia and go to the credible sources that quote comes from.
@@memoriesofparts709 ] "Despite losing their political independence, the Greeks remained dominant in the fields of commerce and business" - from Ottoman Greece English entry on wikipedia. Think about that and what that may mean. BTW, I'm not from Greece.
Persia is the key for plethora of things Ottomans have in their culture.
No
Or vice versa, Iran was ruled by Turks for 1000 years.
@@erdemozcan5435 No, he is right, Turks took much from Persians, literature and poetry most notably. In fact most elements of Turkish culture come from other peoples, including religion, cuisine, alphabet, art, architecture, even the lands, and more.
@@alexrenn2479 It's ironic that a Greek should say this, the so-called "Greek" cuisine consists of 90% Turkish food, your "traditional" instrument, the bouzouki, is a copy of the Turkish baglama and its name comes from the Turkish word "bozuk", and the language you speak has over 3000 words of Turkish origin.
@@erdemozcan5435 Pork, olive oil, cheese, bread, vine leaves, seafood and many other main ingredients of Greek cuisine DID NOT come from Turkish cuisine and existed well before the Turks invaded and occupied Greek lands, including in Anatolia. In Ottoman times Greeks were the dominat group in commerce, which included cafes, restaurants and pastry shops, whilst most Turks were agrarian people. Apparently the baglama has its roots in Persia and in any case Greeks popularized the instrument globally and made their own music out of it.
Most of Turkey's cities and towns, including Istanbul. Izmir, Bodrum, Bursa, Trabzon, Sinope, Giresun and many many more were all originally Greek and most of the significant attractions, such as Hagia Sophia were built by the Greeks, so don't talk too much. The most popular and fancy Turkish summer towns, Eski Foca, Cesme and A;lacati were all former Greek towns until the 20th century. The truth is that Turks took a lot lot more from the Greeks, than anything they gave, your audacity is mortifying.
Even many of your supposed most famous people were originally Greek, such as the architect Sinan, and your most celebrated football player Lefter Küçükandonyadis. All the most beautiful and significant buildings in Istanbul right up to the 20th century, were either commissioned, financed, designed or built by the Greeks, especially in Beyoglu (a Greek area of istanbul where the remaining community still owns lots of valuable property) and all the palaces were designed by the Armenian Balyan family and that's because both these groups were the dominant, commercial, professional and educated peoples of the former Ottoman Empire. You should be very grateful of their incredible contribution, not the other way round. If you don't believe me about the Greek contributions to Istanbul and Turkey, especially in architecture and the built environment, just do some research, there's plenty of info online.
Lots of western "turks" are of balkan origin, you can see that clearly
Balkan Turks were brought there from Anatolia. That means they brought their culture with them. It has nothing to do with Balkans. Burek is already a Turkish origin pastry. burek, burmak verb in Turkish. Börüök in Yakuth Turkic too.
@@subetewomieru You are telling me there is no turks of balkan origin in Turkey? 🤣🤣🤣 all white turks are of balkan origin, Albanians , Slavs, Greeks, Romanians etc etc
@@maskinisten019white Turks ?
@@maskinisten019 I am a white Turk but I am not of Balkan origin, so not all white Turks have to be Balkan. My ancestors migrated from the Crimea side. There are also dozens of white Turkish groups such as Circassians, Tatars, Lazs, etc.
@@maskinisten019 The only thing you are right about is that there are quite a few Balkan Turks. It is estimated that there are over 20 million Balkan Turks in Turkiye.
bosnian is best
The best borek has to be from Sarajevo, Bosnia.
U MISSED THE ULTIMATE COUNTRY OF BUREK: BOSNIA. SO USELESS INTERVIEW
no cheese, so they couldnt ask you
@@MrPartizan13 Burek is not only made with cheese. There are variety of burek such as cheese, spinach, potato, meat, minced meat etc. in Turkey.
@@sadrick1639 he meant it as an joke, burek with cheese... in bosnia burek is ONLY with.meat, with cheese its.pita
Armenians!!!!
Serbian burek is very greasy (lard) 😞
Nobody plays the byrek game the way Albanians play it.
Sorry, but so-called börek, or a simlar filo pastry dish if you like, was first made in ancient Greece, well before the Albanians, Slavs and Turks invaded and occupied the region. Research it if you don't believe it.
@@alexrenn2479 puajahhaha
It's true
@@erdemozcan5435What are you laughing, charlatan..... Always you.... The do-nothing 😅
@@electra1920 börek is a Turkish food that is thousands of years old and thanks to Turks, it passed into Greek and Balkan cuisines.
@@erdemozcan5435 Exactly the opposite..... 😢Sorry
