Turkish cuisine

Turkish food is very famous in the world. Although the carefully prepared dishes look simple, the delicious fresh ingredients are incomparable to ordinary delicacies. There are also many kinds of dishes: there are all kinds of soups, all kinds of cold dishes, and all kinds of meat dishes and fish dishes. After dinner, there are famous Turkish snacks and cakes, and finally Turkish coffee.

Roast whole sheep is a special dish for Turks to entertain VIPs. Roasting whole sheep means removing the feet and sheepskin of a tender lamb, hollowing out the internal organs, then filling an empty stomach with rice and roasting it on the fire. There are many raisins, almonds and pine nuts in the rice. Roasted mutton tastes delicious, and the mutton is fragrant and tender. The rice in a sheep's belly is just like China's eight-treasure rice, but it's a little salty.

Turkey's alcoholic products are also one of the local characteristics, among which Turkish beer, locally produced wine and Turkey's unique wine (fennel) are all first-class.
