Afiyet Olsen! You should try cig kofte dorum. Dorum means a wrap. It's a wrap spread w/ cig kofte, pomegranate sauce, some pickles and arugula. You must find a place that makes it w/ arugula. You should pair that with an ayran (I-Ron). FYI, ayran is Turkey's national drink. To be fair, some will argue that it's raki. (It's political) The lahmacun should be eaten with some lettuce on it, a squirt of lemon juice and then wrapped and eaten. The proper pronunciation is Kof-TAY.... Think of it as being similar to cafe'. To really enjoy the cream and honey, you should spread the cream on some bread and top it off w/ honey. The beer Efes, is probably named after Ephesus. Ephesus is most famous for the house of the Virgin Mary. Apparently, JC's mother, spent the last years of her life there.
Very nice vlog! I’m glad to see that in the mean time you are really well-adjusted to the Turkish life style and developed a taste for the Turkish cuisine. I hope that you will continue enjoying your time despite the COVID-lockdown. Cheers!
Ahhh I loved this video!! As a big food lover myself, I love trying local favorites when traveling to new places! All of this food looked sooooo good! Especially the kebabs!!! Droooooling!
Tried umit pide side off your recommendation, absolutely beautiful, anyone here should definitely try it, very reasonable aswel and the food is amazing, knew it had to be good as you two foodies were all over it, I showed your video to restaurant staff they remembered you and they took screen shots to show everyone the video. Take care safe travels
Yeah we agree, especially seeing the many bars and restaurants that have closed their doors and may never reopen 😔 really hope for the people that isn't case and things can return to some of normality sooner rather than later becuase they need it 🙏 So glad you enjoyed the video ☺️❤️
10:28 correction, it is not a bean soup...just baked beans. At first glance, due to the amount of liquid, you would say it's a soup, hence your confusion. Normally, there's also a bowl of rice and pickles when you eat kuru fasulye (translation: dry beans, I admit it's weird to see them in a pool of liquid, lol). Afiyet olsun. Keep up the good work.
@@MattandJulia hahahaha This is the biggest problem if not healthy on the bank balance bro In shaa ALLAH soon both of you will be world famous UA-camrs and then everything you wish you will have it
the breakfast looks amazing...I love turkish food. I love how your videos are shot and edited. Have you heard about the two menus (they often have a turkish and a tourist menu...the prices are different)
@@MattandJulia in Istanbul they had a lot of them (we were there on a class trip with the German school of Prague), each of us stayed with one person from the 11th grade there...so they warned us... so when they weren't with us we encountered it and asked multiple times and finally got one.If there weren't other people around I would have just left and gone somewhere else. I don't like when they're trying to trick you.
the prices are very cheap ... despite the fact, that Side is a tourist area ... i love food videos and the comments ... you're doing it really well ...
Matt and Julia, again another great video ! Brings back fond memories of my tour of Istanbul, Ephesus and other parts of Turkey. Turkish food is the best food of the Mediterranean region! Congrats on putting this video together 👏 and looking forward to seeing your latest uploads.soon! Cheers folks 👍 love you BOTH 😍
Still enjoying your Side, Turkey vids even though you've been in Georgia a year and a half now. (Perhaps I exaggerate slightly?) Hoping you traveled to Georgia by some exotic means and am looking forward to that report as well as any others from Turkey you share with us.
Thank you Dennis! Haha, a year and a half is about right 😉 unfortunately we had to fly as the land border was closed, so not the exotic means we had hoped for 🤷🏼♀️
You're so cute, you put Çiğköfte on bread and ate it, I died laughing 😂😂 It's all right, everyone's already explained, you'll learn slowly 😉👍🏻 But please don't think that Turkish cuisine consists of kebabs, if you are still in Turkey, go to a Artisan Restaurant (Esnaf Lokantası) when restaurants open and try cooking pots 😍 Have a nice holiday 🥰
Bon Appetit. As a Turk, I never eat ready-made "çiğ köfte", if I find it, I eat it in its original form. It's hard to find the original nowadays, but I have to be content with what I find.
@@MattandJulia Right, I think it was banned in 2008, it's a good decision but as long as people eat at home, it's okay. It is a good decision to prohibit the sale of it as ready. Home made is perfect, ready-made items are fake, it is evident from every aspect.
Thnx 4 this nice video. but one thing: u don't eat "çiğ köfte" with spoons. u find some 'turkish' romain lettuce put the çiğ köfte in in then sprinkle it with lemon and role it to a wrap then bite it or eat et at a whole. Bon appetite. :) But u should definetly try the original receipe with minced meat. Or make urself. ;)
@@MattandJulia That's great! I love having leftovers. I love your food journeys. Food can teach so much about culture. It's especially great hearing you describe the food, because you cook and bake yourself. Take care!
Pide is not a pitzza. Pizza originally taken from Ottoman pide. History is a must. The poor ıtalians cooked it with tomatos and a little cheese. Why? Becouse all the meat taken by the castel people. Only bread and intesticals. But they also learned pasta from Ottoman eriste. Take care. Thanks.
I hope you did not have stomach hurt because of çiğköfte. Because it should be serve with some herbs like lettuce, parsley etc. Otherwise it is hard to digest
I am Turkish been living here in England for the past 31 years CAN NOT wait for pandemic to end to make my permanent return.. this country (England) although is an ok country in some ways but is a very depressing to live in, and that Shows in peoples attitudes and lifestyle..
Totally agree England has lost its soul ,we love turkey ,it’s people it’s culture and the food ,am a proud English man but it’s not the country I was fortunate to grow up in
Hi sweet couple. you eat cigkofte with the wrong bread. Could get the right bread for you, like thin bread. Next time tell them to get LAVAŞ bread. 12:46
Hello 🤗 Thank you very much! Really wish we knew that before we had it 😔 we just picked up whatever we could from the supermarket. Will try it properly the next time 😊

@@MattandJulia no problem. people just says the traditional way of eating. It can be eaten however you want but you could be the first to eat it by spreading it on bread 😊 😊 cig kofte is hot and may not appeal to everyone's taste. one or two pieces of is enough. If you eat too much, it may discomfort the stomach.

The most famous food in Turkey is Iskender. Iskender is Turkish for Alexander and the food was probably named after Alexander the Great.
Thanks guys! Really appreciate all the info! Cig kofte forum sounds incredible ☺️ Love that it's Ayran v Raki for the spot as national drink! 😃
The ayran its Arabic name
The yogurt its An Armenian name its meaning full of fate i told you they even don't know about this
