How a Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Dined
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Sultans in the Ottoman Empire loved to eat. In the 15th century, Topkapi Palace boasted a kitchen staff of 100 people, a number that grew to 500 during the 16th-century reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. Before 1600, the kitchen staff topped 1,000 people who were all dedicated to creating the confections, drinks, and elaborate meals eaten by the sultan. Ottoman sultans prized expensive luxuries that expanded beyond the Ottoman harems and into their kitchens as well. They stocked their pantries with ground orchid and other exotic spices, and imported ingredients from across their massive empire and from neighboring territories, including the Persian Empire and China.

I would like to know about the food eaten by the Russian tsars over the years .
i am turkish and we never use i am rich enough to eat baklava everyday, do not make stuff up.
North Lord different parts of the country maybe 🤷♂️
@Weird History
Ottomans drank tea in 400bc? Wow! That's amazing! How in the world did they manage to pull that off?
Australian here but I was fortunate to have become friends with three Turkish couples who had moved out here. Being invited to their homes for dinner was an absolute treat. The ladies did most of the preparations but the husband would cook the kebabs on a barbeque. Freshly cooked home made Baclava is to die for. They were lovely people and funny and very hospitable so between their great company and their outstanding food, it was a night to look forward to. Their cuisine is overall healthy but amazingly tasty. Can't wait to visit Turkey myself, especially after watching all episodes of Ertugrul twice.
Omg i hope you visit all the palaces in İstanbul to see how fancy those sultans lived! 🤩 And if you have an interest about Ottomans, you should visit "Bursa" of Turkey this city was the capital of Ottoman Empire for years
Lol, Turks are really desperate for tourists 😂😂
So you watched nearly a Thousand episodes, lol ok
" Freshly cooked home made Baclava is to die for." YEEEESSSSS. I work with a lot of... not white people (not sure their exact ethnicity, I think a few are egyption) and ONE time one of them brought HOMEmade BACLAVA, which I already love, but is very hard to find, and I LOST my shit. I literally dropped what I was doing to grab a piece. SO good.
Good stuff mate 🇹🇷🇦🇺🇹🇷🇦🇺🇹🇷🇦🇺Aussie Aussie Aussie
So I'm Turkish and I used to eat all these dishes everyday (including "the ruler liked"). After I moved to anither country I thought I could cook these myself, since my mom made it look so easy. Man I was wrong.
Lol! You could never have your Anne’s magic. It’s an exclusive right of all Turkish moms. 😅
my mom cooked me hünkar beğendi once in 20 years lol
It takes some practice. I remember my first manti..It was disgusting and how many times a had to throw my pilav in the garbage cause it was uncooked or sticky.
i getchu bro :( im Mexican living in the Middle East (our food is our culture) and i cant cook my favorite foods, specially cuz there are no ingredients in here for that :(
@@OMorningstar666 I'm a middle-eastern living in Canada and I have the same issue
Never realised That Sorbet (the icecream kind) actually also originated from this ancient Sherbat beverage. Thanks Ottoman empire!
;) thanks
I started making Turkish sharbet. It's delicious and very refreshing. Lot heathier than store bought juice.
Sherbet is actually Persian, which became famous among the Turks (Central Asian tribes), who conquered Byzantine Empire renamed it Turkey after their identity (Turks) and introduced Sherbet there. It is NOT Turkish
The original one is made with rose water. Makes it so much lighter. Still a very common drink for post partum moms and also served to people who come and visit newborn and new mom ✨🤗
@@sohamsarode7975 Bence kıskanma ve yalan söyleme. Persleri 1000 yıl boyunca yöneten Türklerdir. 😄
We eat most of this in Serbia , i dont care who invented it, i love to eat it. We and the Turks share a lot because of their centuries of influence on our people.
Turkey invaded Serbia and they passed their food onto your culture.
@@phoenixgrove yeah same here in Lebanon we eat all of these stuff as well and we even have Turkish words in our dialect because of the colonization of the ottoman
Turkish has Serbian influence too.
@@javierescuella2917 we have a lot of tuekish words in serbian vocabulary too
Nice way of thinking, not everybody is as civilized.
Dolma is very popular here in Sweden, introduced in the mid 1700 . We call them "Kåldolmar" aka kaledolma wrapped in kaleleaves and stuffed with mincedmeats and spices.
Dolma comes from "doldurmak". Which means filling😊
Charles XII lived in Turkey during his exile 1709 - 1714 under the protection of Ottomans. Probably he eas the one introduced sarma and köfte after his return to Sweden.
@@talialee6364 No from "dolmak" - "to GET filled". "Doldurmak" is "to fill something". Bu what she/he means is actually "sarma" - "to roll - to wrap".
Before the Turks settled in Asia Minor, Turkic “cuisine” basically consisted of horse-meat and fermented mare’s milk. Ottoman imperial cuisine, on the other hand, was probably the most varied and elaborate mixture of foods and dishes ever to exist as a unified culinary entity up to the 20th century; it was, however, “Turkish” in name only: the cuisine of the Ottoman Court was essentially an amalgam of the imperial cuisines of Persia and Byzantium; over time, it also adopted many elements from the ethnic culinary traditions of the wide array of cultures from both within and beyond the borders of the Empire: Greek, Balkan, Levantine, Egyptian, Berber, Arabian, Armenian, Caucasian, Venetian, Genoese, Florentine, Catalan, and others.
Exactly.
No😊
No
As a middle eastern guy, I've never realized how many of my favorite foods come from the ottomans
It doesn't mean Ottomans or Turks invented it. Turkish was lingua franca and we also borrowed so many Persian and Arabic words. Kabab, Kunefe, Lahmajun, Hummus, etc are all Arabic words. Kofte, pilav, cacik etc are from Persian.
As far as I know the name 'Shawarma' in Arabic comes from Turkish word 'Çevirme', which kind of means turning something around similar to Döner.
Döner is the ancestor of shawarma and gyros.
thanks I am Moroccan I had asked few Turkish people about the word Shawarma because I was almost sure it is a Turkish word not a Lebanese word
Really? Makes sense but it also reminds me of the Arabic شوى meaning grilled...
@@basmalasaad3039
Yes, many Arabs that i met thought the same way. But i found on the internet that shawarma's etymological origin is Turkish "çevirme". Maybe different sources say different things you should look it up.
By the way Mehmed II was obsessed about sea food. Most of his daily meals werr fish, crams, oysters and mussels

@@l2516 Note to yourself, Turks, least of all Turkish elite are anything but religious now and then.

@@subutaynoyan5372 but it was mehmed II wasnt he more religious than his later descendants?
I know his father murad was super religious
@@BALLARDTWIN Where do you even read those things? Father Murad was arguably one of the least religious of House of Osman, he was a notorius poet, one of the followers of Persian court ways, and what do you think he aimed to do when he resigned? To listen to poets and musicians, have wine and lay back.
Ottoman Sultans were not religious in general. Especially in more tribal eras.
Mehmed's close friends were executed for heresy, after his demise for godsake!
Coffe also gave its name to brown in Turkish, which is "kahverengi" (coffe colour)
EDIT: Thanks for the likes!
That’s so interesting because in Japan the color brown is called cha iro or tea color!
before greeks or balkan countrys call these food theirs i have one question to you. if u guys know these foods before ottoman empire.... then why italy poland germany france dont know how to cook them? remember before ottoman empire u guys were in roman empire right? so how they dont know still these foods? just think about it before call these foods. but today if u go pakistan or india u can se smilar foods. even indian people think yogurt belong them... and ottoman empire never conquer india... so how they know these foods from far away and how germany italt france even poland dont know these foods? use your brain pls.
@@kayacenk4164 India was under turko-mongolic rule for a shit ton of years from the gaznes to the Delhi Sultanate to Mughal empire. It isn't surprising for them to have yoghurt and stuff
Coffee is ethiopian origin and the name means wine (or any beverage) in arabic. We call brown the "coffee color" these days but coffee came to ottoman from Arabs.

Turkish Food is one of the best in the World. Now I feel hungry 😋
Ottoman and Turkish food is the best food in the world. They combined Greek, Persian and Central Asian cuisine and perfected it.
@Öksökö Yes you do watch this video
ua-cam.com/video/eAeOBOzW5So/v-deo.html
Amazing! High end cuisine. I have been cooking some of these dishes since I learnt how to prepare them in Istambul!
I have been to Turkey 2x once for a month with a typical family. Loved the food and surprisingly got really into Aryan. I avoid sweets so the yogurt drink was a healthy option. As a visiting American they plied me with Baklava like you can't imagine. I was flattered but embarrassed anyone had to work so hard when I'm happy with a baguette.Imagine waking to the smell of baking bread every day!!!
Ekmek olmazsa olmazdır bizde. Yoksa karnımız doymaz :))
Once you fall in love with Turkey's foods, forget about the other countries. Everything is tasty here...
I don’t think challenging the ego’s of Indian’s cuisine is a good idea my friend
Same for all cultures so no need to argue with the Persians and/or Indians who think they have invented everything on the world (not only food).
Not a good idea to watch this when your pregnant, now I want baklava at midnight 😏
Hurrem liked coffee, sambhuk agha used to sneaks beans for her 😂
In Russia we use the Word "Chai" For tea, I guess now I know why! Pilaf is also super common dish in Russia, although we call it "Plov".
The people who have always been living near the Silk Road (Turks, Persians, Arabs, Indians and Slavs that have been in contact with the Turkic and Iranic people in much of their history) call the drink Chai because the tea exported there was from the northern regions of China where the word for it is Tsai or something like that.
On the other hand in Western European languages the word for Tea/Tee/Te comes from Te- the word they use in Southern China/Canton. Westerners had their tea imported from the Chinese ports so this is why their word for it is different than ours.
ps In Russia you also have Shashlik which is basically what Turks call Shish Kebab. 😀
@@lokumftw2621 You're right! Huh, interesting
My dad is making baklava. My grandpa used to make helva (or halva). Cay I drink every few days either after breakfast or at the afternoon. When family or friend come over we always make cay.
I don't like Turkish coffee.
The reason coffee used to be forbidden was because men used to just sit and drink coffee instead of working. With the ban of coffee it was intended to take away one of the excuses.
Regarding Sherbet, I used to think it was water mixed with sugar after boiling it. Sometimes you add lemon in it. This variation of the sirup is used for many Turkish sweets like Baklava, Helva and Tolumba.
I am the only member in my family who doesn't like börek nor ayran.
I am sure pilav is just the Turkish word for rice.
We have quinces in our garden in Germany. I only eat it as it is.
Boza is already our national drink in Bulgaria. Boza with pastry with cheese called banitsa
I like kunafa and baklawa

If I were a sultan, I would not only push the national foods of my empire but I would also be interested in the cuisine of other countries as well and would try to secretly order and/or import foodstuffs(in addition to silks, gold and precious gems!)into my royal city and palaces.
Correction: there wasn't any ottomans in 400bc in turkey. The turkic hoards were in their ancesteral lands of central Asia.
All are very yummy. You guys should try all of them 😋 love from 🇹🇷
I love Turkish cuisine. One of my favorite culinary genres
Ayran came from india, where it is known as Chash or Lasi, it is drank with either salt or sugar and some times spiced with roasted cumin, fresh chilli's and is yummy.
I am a Pakistani and many of these dishes are well known to Pakistanis as well, they are sometimes even regarded as OUR traditional dishes by us. For example, the pilaf is known as pulao, the ayran is our favourite lassi, the sherbet is also a everyday drink in summers for pakistanis, the cay eventhough is not the same in pakistan, tea in pakistan is known by the same name. I guess it is because of the mughals as they too had turk ancestors, timur too was one of the mughal ancestors.
There is no such a phrase or idiom like “The coffee is so thick, even water buffalo wouldn’t sink in it” in Turkey. We actually think that it’s strong rather than its being thick.
Actually we do have that idiom; "manda batmaz". It is very famous.
Mandabatmaz Kahvesi in Istanbul..

Dishes seems often suitable for several people,, and this is surely perfect for Turkish who take time to socialize around a good meal and share their table with friends and encounters.
I want to know all about the dishes that are too difficult to recreate.
He meant they are too difficult to recreate because not enough is known about them. Therefore you can't know all about them.
I don't know if you refer to Turkish dishes here; but basically they are not that hard to replicate.
The main mastery basically involves "knowing" the taste of your family / patrons / boss... There are not many specific "spoonfull" , "cups" etc measurements except for pilav (rice) or alike... You simply use your senses based upon your knowledge of how your target audience like their food.
You basically fry almost all ingredients seperately in olive oil.
Lots of tomato paste is used, spices used very much in almost all dishes are:
-Hot chili powder
-Cumin
-Blackpepper powder
-Dried and crushed spearmint leaves and
- Dried oregano leaves.
We do not use sage etc all that much...
Garlic and onions are "cannot do without" ingredients. In my household of 4 folks, we use about 2 kilograms of garlic cloves each week.
Not only wife cooks but so do I and our children.
My specialty is on meat and chicken dishes.
One rule of thumb: Turkish dishes mainly consist of stewed ingredients and grills... But each and every ingredient needs to be seared in hot olive oil to seal in the flavors...
@TheSteelWolf that is generally good advice, thanks for getting these tips out to the people, after all a happy person is a well fed.person.
Actually a video about spices would be great, but there's so much in there... maybe start with the history of Salt's uses?
How about Turkish ice cream?? It tastes really yummy!
I am addicted to magnificent century ❤️
A ridiculous representation of my history -,-
I can say magnificient story doesnt have anything with the real history, as a turk
Oh, you mean Baklawa or Baqlawa, which originated from the Levant, way before even the Turks migrated from central Asia to eventually settling Anatolia. And, of course, coffee with it's many distinct flavors originated & came with Caravans from southern Arabia to all northern provinces including Anatolia.
We are familiar with several of these dishes in Algeria too, which was to a varying degree of autonomy part of the Ottoman Empire between the 1510s and 1830.
There were people employed specifically for tasting every dish that is presented to the sultan at every meal time - as an early warning system for poisoning attempts. And the dishes were brought from the kitchen to the sultan's quarters under protection - for the same reason.
Everything looks good but I don't think I could survive without coffee and alcohol.
My favourite part of the Ottoman Empire was building armies of elephants.
Ottomans dont use elephants
That was Timur government. Not Turks.
@@godzilacarnivoro6292 They used kidnapped children from the Balkans
@@jeffslote9671 This is True
@@jeffslote9671 Not really 'kidnapped' in most cases. To some it may have been kidnapping but a lot of parents volunteered their kids into the Janissary academies because it was such a prestigious honor at some point. A lot of Janissaries became governors and influential pasha's who used their influence to the benefit of their home regions. Of course the Devshirme practice was highly unethical and I am kind of ashamed of it being a Turkish person. No parent should be forced to part with their kids, even if it was temporarily.
Ottomans drank tea as early as 400 BC? I don’t think that’s what you meant to say. The Ottomans came into history in the 1200s AD
He probably meant Romans or Turkic people.
When you think Turkic people were near to China, he probably meant Turkic people.
I love fennel root, don't know why it took me so long to try it considering I see it at the supermarket all the time.
The white is good in root mash and as a substitute for potato/turnip, and the green is a great substitute for anything you'd put celery in. I always put fennel root in my shepherds/cottage pie now.
I'm Turkish, I've never heard any phrase like I'm not rich enough to eat baklava everyday. It's not something you want to eat everyday either, you know how you bring wine to a dinner party the baklava is eaten more like that, guests bring it to gatherings. You should have mentioned Raki which we didn't invent but it has a special place in our history and is still the most popular strong spirit. Murat the fourth banned alcohol but he himself would wear disguise go to taverns and drink with people ask them if they are afraid if the sultan will find out and than I guess regardless of what they said he would decapitate them :D

By the way, I want to clarify one thing. If you are wondering if a dish is Turkish, look at its name. The name of Turkish dishes often indicates an "action". Like Dolma which means "stuffed", sarma which means "wrapped", döner which means "spins/turning/turning thing" and I have to mention that Shwarma word is not Arabic, Its origin is Çevirme which means "turning". Also yoğurt comes from "yoğurtmak" and meaning of it "acidify and condensation". This is a good indicator for determine Turkish origin foods. We usually think simple. So we naming things simple 😊 In a cuisine, maybe a fancy name sells food but delicious taste addict for life time. This is our perspective 😊 Great video btw. Thanks.
Güzel yorum kanki
That’s not true. There are many foods with turkish names that are not of turkish origin.
For example dolma and sarma are turkish names but not originally turkish foods. These were eaten in the eastern Mediterranean for thousands of years before the Ottomans moved to the area. Vine leaves were cultivated for thousands of years in the Mediterranean along with the production of wine. The Turks did not have or know of vine leaves in Asia were they came from, the actual turkish diet was purely nomadic which was basically meat and dairy as all nomadic tribe’s diet.
In fact the turks adopted the foods from the native people when they migrated to the eastern Mediterranean. The names of many foods today are turkish because the Ottomans ruled the area for centuries but the foods are not actually turkish.
This was impressively accurate video. Who ever came up with this idea, should come to İstanbul and find me. I'm gonna make him eat baklava until he can't stand up.

Coffee was hard to get in Turkey after the Ottoman Empire lost their lands to the Europeans in Ww1.. That’s when chai became more popular than coffee
İts more like chai is easier to make. Making coffee takes more time

BTW my Anne (Mom) is now looking at me like I just betrayed her. Yasik.
İ have a great respect to you guys, the only country tries to proof that the ottoman empire' cuisine belong to them is Armenia, they even call lahmacun Armenian pizza
Sarma is even in Sweden, introduced there by Swedish King Charles XII the ironhead, actually a video about him would be good. He also carried words kalabalik (crowded), jarramas (naughty) and yildirim (thunder).
Keep in mind that those dishes might be merely %1 of palace cousine due to palace kitchen's recipe policy :D
Yes the fact is that we have no written recipes from the Ottoman palace kitchen. The creator of this video just assumed our popular dishes must have been consumed in the palace as well. The fact is we know very little.
I knew a Turkish-American girl who made the best baklava. She made a tray of her favorite dishes for our office once and I had an out-of-body experience. One thing I thought was odd was she would not give out her recipes. These days I don't blame her for keeping them from an office full of judgmental Karens.
“...office full of judgmental Karens.” Haha funny. I can imagine them sneering at her popularity.
Stevee Wonders bro my grandmas baklava is on point 😋
While the basics of baklava is well known, many, regions, clans, families have come up with techniques or ingredients to make theirs stand out and they guard these like treasurers. It is even considered a bit offensive in some areas to ask what they put in it.
Turkisk baklava is a slam dunk. Baklava in US is mostly in Arabic or Greek form which is not very tasty in my opinion. They're like candy.
You can watch tutorials of Turkish recipei on youtube to learn how to make it :)
It's amazing how we can these days afford what kings, Sultans and aristocrats used to eat and more. That's a blessing.
thanks to mass production and chemical substances.
@@LAMERFENER what chemical substances 😂😂😂

"How a sultan of the ottoman empire dined"
Well Like A Sultan.....
Now I'm craving Mediterranean food
Turkish food is middle eastern and central asian! Not Mediterranean! We use different spices!
@@a.3081-b9g Some of it, yes, but I'm sure you could get into an argument with a Greek about where some of the influence for your food comes from.
Turkish food isn't mediterranean? haven't you ever tasted anything from Aegean branch of Turkish cuisine?
@cristopher wong so?
@@a.3081-b9g I'm Turkish and Turkey is a very Mediterranean country..
As a Turkish historical-content creator, and lover of this channel, nothing could make me happier than this video
Hilly didnt you guys came from Mongolia?
When you will go back?
True but he pronounced like everything wrong 😂
Turkish historical content? You mean only Ottoman dynasty period ? Or history of whole region like Schumer,Persian,Parthian,Arabic,Seljuk,Byzantine heritage
Are you Turkish? If so, are all Turkish women as beautiful as you?
Hilly ... aynen! Ilk defa bir video da hakki verilerek yemeklerimiz tanitilmis
I am half Indian still I have eaten many of these foods like Kebabs, Turkish coffee, Turkish tea, Sherbet. Never had Pilaf but it looks like Biriyani. Just goes to say how food has an impact all over the world no matter where it originates from.
Pulao you might know
I wrnt to Istanbul last year. The food was truly amazing. Can't wait to go back 🤩
Go to my city mate we make the best kebabs,ADANA.
I am an Indian Bengali.... We eat dolma, Sarma, pilaf, little different version of borek, sherbat, different version of sultan's delight, ayran,.... I am so amazed to know that the food we love to have nowadays have traces of ottoman food...
Isn't a samosa like borek? Maybe the influence from turkey is via the Mughal emperors?
"Pilaf" is an Indian cuisine.
@Musa Momand ( موسی مومند ) The cuisine is older than Afganistan itself.
@Musa Momand ( موسی مومند ) Last time I checked, Persia is Iran.
The oldest known mention of the Pilaw technique can be found in Arabic books from the 13th century. Century, written in Baghdad and Syria.
It may also be a linguistic takeover from India. However, the cooking technique for Pilaw was only introduced in India by Muslims.
Turkey is a beautiful country. I was in Side and the people are so welcoming and the food is DELICIOUS 😋
Jetzt hast du mich an die Zeit errinert...
Schön Abends ein Bierchen schlürfen bei der Ecke zum Meer wo dies eine alte Dings steht 🌙🙈 ist schon spät ...
Da spazieren ❤️
I am an Indian (Northern part, and I point this out because South Indian cuisine is different) and I am absolutely stunned to see how much of my cuisine today has Turkish origins. Sherbets are wildly popular here. What the Turks called "Pilaf" is a common dish here under the name of "Pulao/Pulav". This is so lovely 💟
Indian food is also awesome very rich and spicy and I loved biryani (a differnt kind of pilav colorful). Spice makes foods delicious. I am not sure it is northern or southern india
@@leobelleobel2007biryani is popular all over India. Mutton, chicken, beef and seafood versions are popular in the South
@@leobelleobel2007 its, popular all over India. But each side has it's own version, and is very different.
Yes, I was amazed to see sherbat which we drink in liquid form only and not in ice-cream like form, pilaf which we call pulav/pulao here and also ayran which we call taak in marathi in maharashtra or lassi which is thicker form than ayran😃
@@leobelleobel2007 Biryani is courtesy of Mughal empire
Ottomon and Mughal empire introduced great foods
Greetings from Turkey:)
tomris u didnt you guys came from mid Asia?
How about you go back to Mongolia?
@@hawkarKurdish-z7t that was unnecessary.
@@hawkarKurdish-z7t People like you... Everytime I see these kinda comments I keep thinking. What's your point?
@@hawkarKurdish-z7t What kind of an argument is that? :DD According to your logic, USA should disappear, China should fall into pieces, Hungary should move 6000 kilometers east bla bla bla. And you should not leave your home, I mean it.
@serin T that's realy a beautiful name
Can you do a video on what the life of a Chinese emperor was like?
Everything from childhood to what they ate, to what daily life was like....please!!!!

my favourite kind of food are actually chinese. my assumption is They must've been living like a god
I've read tok much chinese historical novels to answer your question ona written format lol, although not something to be proub about, because the novels tend to be 🥴
Maharajas too!! No wealth like India!
@@-TasyaNabila same here
By the way, most of the meat dishes were cooked with fruits like apricots or plums. This was a distinctive feature of Ottoman cuisine.
There is a yellow melon kebab. I do eat it once a year since it really requires skill to cook and special season to find proper melons.
