Turkish Coffee - A drink, a tradition, a culture and a question: Is it Turkish or Greek?
There may be nothing more iconic for Turkey than a cup of coffee, served in a tiny cup accompanied with a small glass of water and a cube of lokum.
We were in the heart of the historical peninsula, Eminönü. We wandered among the coffee smells of Eminönü streets and the flavors of the Spice Bazaar. We tasted real coffee and tried many different flavors of Turkish delight. We also learned how to make a real, authentic Turkish coffee.Join us on this delicious tour, as we discover whether this coffee is Turkish or Greek.
Turkish Coffee Recipe :
· 1 cup of water
· 1 teaspoon ground coffee
· up to 3 teaspoons of sugar, optional
Instructions:
1. Mix the coffee and sugar in the cezve, a small pot with a long handle, and bring the coffee to a boil on low heat. The coffee can be brought to a boil on high heat as well, but it is said that a slow increase in heat will better bring out the flavor of the beans. Carefully pour the coffee into a cup and serve.
2. The foam that builds on the coffee is sometimes taken off first into the cup with a spoon and after bringing the coffee to a second boil it is then poured. The sign of an impeccable cup of Turkish Coffee is the foam on top of it.

    After entering Greece, enter Turkey and enter the Markets. 2kg. You can also choose 1/2 cup yoghurt in Turkey. If he has the machine, it doesn't matter much. Only in the 1990s, there is a transition to 2 countries. You'll realize there's no such thing as Greek yogurt. Even the owner of the Greek yoghurt marketed in the USA is Turkish! But the Greeks also embrace yoghurt because they do not give up saying that we are the origin of its issue!!!

    It’s called burekaki in Greek not burekiki as he said😅 . I’m not sure if it’s Turkish or Greek, but i suppose it’s a Greek recipe. That’s because long time ago Turkish people used to be nomads, so they surely know better how to cook meat. In my opinion, Türkisch kitchen borrowed many things from the Greek kitchen.

  •  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Adult Turks cannot digest milk due to reduced levels of lactase gene expression. Greeks can express this gene perfectly during adulthood, therefore they just drink cow milk. Turks had to invent ways to consume sheep or horse milk. Yogurt gets rid of lactose in milk, therefore yogurt is Turkish. It just makes perfect sense.

We Azerbaijanis make Baklava for special occasions, Zoroastrian Easter - New Year which indicates symbols of Life. Baklava - Star, ⭐️ Gogal - Sun, 🌞 Shekerbura - moon. 🌙 I hope it explains why Turks from Central Asia to Anatolia makes these delicious pastries.

    Again, as I said in the comments section of his other video about Baklava, these were all likely local recipes of the Greek, Armenian, Syrian and other peoples of the Caucasus regions living in Anatolia prior to the Seljuk Turk invasions that the Ottomans then tried to claim as their own. There's really no such thing as Turkish anything in Anatolia, even a Turkish ethnic identity. You're all mostly islamized Greeks, Armenians, Assyrians etc. And this British clown here should go to places like Greece, Syria, Lebanon etc., to get the other perspectives of peoples who also still make some of these same recipes that the Ottomans stole.

    Yogurt is neither turkish nor greek. The origin is central Asia. The rest is politics and nationalism. Turks and bulgarians may pretend they have brought it on the Balkans even though its presence predate with millenniums the formation of their tribes back in Asia. It is possible that yogurt have reached Balkans before migration of these mentioned people. Greeks had just popularised it in western Europe. The existence of yogurt in india and middle east leads to the idea that yogurt is just proto Indo-European invention which means central asia or the steps region where horse people have kept their milk in animal skin so stomach bacteria had contacted the milk. Nothing of the posible components of the yogurt have been invented, or domesticated on the balkans.

      @@elegrin5170 Bulgarians also came from Central Asia long before the Turks. The same for Avars, Huns and many other nations that have been on the Balkans, my friend. Most of the balkan nations do not use the word yogurt for that drink. For example the bulgarian word would sound something like "kiselo mliako". As I said, horse riding tribes (yogurt is conected with their way of preserving milk in leather bags) from the asian "step" are on the balkans since 4th century. So why would you pretend Yurks brought yogurt on the Balkans. I am not saying they didn't, I am just saying your proof is not a proof. The fact that the Turkish word is popular on the west is neither a proof. It is just which balkan nation had more influence in the West. We all know how many dishes are in the west as greek but they are not. Like the Tzatziki salad which comes from Persia through the turks. Or the musaka, that commes from the Arab peninsula.

    The word of breakfast in Turkish is “kahvaltı” which is combination of two words, kahve+altı. The translation on kahvaltı would be “pre-coffee” or “before coffee”. The breakfast culture actually came AFTER the coffee culture. People ate in the morning before consuming coffee, and called it kahvaltı (breakfast).

    Dolma literally translates to “stuffed”.

So the “dolma” in this video, which is a wrap of grape leaf is actually called “Sarma” actually. During Ottoman Empire, this food also became widely popular in the Balkans where they call it Sarma/Sarmale/Sarmal etc.

    Sis might be Turkish.

You cannot answer the question as to whether it’s Greek or Turkish if you’re only looking at evidence related to terminology that is only… Turkish. Your conclusion is that a route of a Turkish word is Turkish.
