The KING of Turkish food;

Mantı is not a food. It's a religion.

Then call me a zealot because I'll martyr myself anyday for this

Sorry guys.....my mom's doing Manti today.

don't forget the pimp of mantı.

Wouldn't be the same without it :P

you can flush all these great foods down the toilet guys .....For me SPAM rules.LOL

manti can be awful or awesome depending on the cook.

i hate it when it's soggy with no yogurt and butter.

dolma is not turkish , its a pre-ottoman recipe which got its turkish name afterwards. Out of these dolmathes is my favourite too and for the record i have eaten 71 and almost taken to see a doctor...

The definition of Turkish food today is what is made by Turks. These dishes could be inspired from Greeks, Persians or whatever but they are distinctly Turkish in their execution, presentation and flavor.

71... That's awesome.

LOL.

71?Not bad re...

i disagree mate , the name doesnt have to do with the preparation , presentation and cooking of a meal . There have been people and nation in this part of the world long before greeks or turks came . This particular dinner IMHO is persian , they are known to combine rice with anything they have available.

BTW how do you like the rice in it , me very soft and juicy and only yalanci . and i DEMAND from the turkish lot in here to name me a restaurant in IST. with the most awesome yalanci

BTW 71 wasnt funny dude , i was turned blue

Couldn't agree more about the rice though, it has to be very soft and very juicy. I like to dip the dolmas in cold fresh fatty yoghurt (greek or turkish) and then have my way with them...


....yes...



fuck I'm hungry

hot steamy dolma with ice cold yoghurt...think i wet my pants here

i like dolma with meat more than dolma that cooked with olive oil. and i think cabbage is better than grape leafs for much eatings because after too much eating test of grape leafs over comes to pilav.




my favorite is midye. when i am drunk, i can eat them till i get sick. my record is 65.

That is funny mate .

Guilty of this myself.

Especially once in particular in Taksim square after a night-out, had about a dozen in dozen seconds .

The mideci was like ....... .


Those guys make a killing out of the back of efes.


You have to be careful where you have them though.

I saw a program on Turkish tv about it once . They get loads of people gathered in a basement filling them up at a constant pace.



PS They even have mideciz outside of the posh clubs in Kurucesme and Etiler.

Nice after-grub indeed...

How much do they go for now?

Congrats mate. On the other hand, it's a mistake to count them when eating them.

i can't count them, i can't even speak when i eat midye. midye sellers always open new one before i finish the one in my mounth. at the end seller count the garbage and tell the number.

we don't count the fishes when we are fishing to avoid bad luck.

I L U V That so much mate.

You got that tradition down.



Midyeciz always open a new one .


All I know when I was in the 'historic' fish market, the guy was pleasantly impressed with my toll .


Vallaha cok yedigim .

I went out on St Patricks day, got all green beered up and midye full .

yoghourt kebab rulez.

you like Turkish kebab ?

Who doesn't?

Believe it or not, Dookie is greek and has (although unworthy) inherited taste buds designed to savor the sweet flavors of our region.

who told u its turkish?

its a regional middle east way of preparing meat

the truth is hard for you to swallow innit?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kebab

paragraph history

swaaaaaaaaalloooooooooowwwwwwwww now blis , swaaaallloooowwww

in a rare occasion it is actually 'a bitter pill' for you rather than something else to swallow(same article):

Notice which language too and where it was invented.

You know what profisgas? You are such a salak and childish little shit. Thank you for proving to everyone else my sentiments.

You turn this thread which is a celebration of good food into something like this .

And you claim to hate nationalists LOL!


PS DN I was just winding you up . Since you hate Turks so much why eat something that looks very Turkish .

Anyways back to the subject(again I have to do the reverting) I love kebabs in Indian restaurants as an appetizer:



Served in a hot pot with sizzling onions??

frankly speaking i dont give a damn where it was first made , i just LUV hurting your nationalist bum

heres some to digest

only thing you are hurting is those fingers of yours:



pretty soon you won't have any left.
