Careful normally and traditionally Simit are not vegan, toppings of Kumpir (also the Turkish variety of "sour cream" and not only butter and other cheeses you mentioned)
Nonetheless there are vegan simit, nice baklava, places and not to mention that the famous breakfast feasts are also vegan at some spots (it is just always so much😅). Thank you
@@Patrick.Khoury Most simit are vegan. It is composed of flour, salt, yeast, sesame, grape molasses and water. Yeast is a product of fermentation. I do not think the growth medium of yeast contain any animal products. Simit almost never contains butter unless indicated specifically. Butter is very expensive in Turkey.
@@heavenlymilano Oh it makes sense! Never crossed my mind that they use grape molasses tho..there are a few designated shops where they sell the ones with butter and maybe eggs. But yeah as you said, on the streets it's mainly vegan..
Wow I have been learning Turkish for a looonggg time. Basically I started learning 11 years ago but I took a long break... Anyways. A year ago I started learning again, this time for real and it's one of my most favourite languages in the whole world. Even tho I'm from Bulgaria (right above Turkey) I have never visited it. ALSO, I'm vegan, too! I was so glad to learn you're vegan. You don't meet every day somebody who shares the same points of view and the same passion for languages as you. 😅

You are right! It would've been better if I mentioned what you said! Thanks for your constructive input! 💪

That guy in the beginning is so peaceful!
I completely agree! And by the way, after shooting this video where I'm buying from him, I always made sure to go back to him to buy my simits 😁
His gentleman attitude won me as a lifetime customer!

Cool, now I know I will not starve to death in Turkey... I just need to learn fluent Turkish first 🤣
😊
I'm getting some simici next time i go there ✌
patrick kardeşim, sanırım atalarında türk ırk karışmış bizden birisin?
Must be hard, to be vegan in Turkey!
In Turkey in general yes, but not in Istanbul! Istanbul is a very vegan/vegetarian friendly megalopolis!
