tip from a local: if a restaurant offers both kebabs and pide and döner and dessert, you'll probably have a below-the-average experience. because traditionally these foods are cooked by people from different parts of turkey, so you normally can't have it all in one place. if you're looking for the real deal, you'll find the best pide in a pide restaurant, best kebabs in a kebab restaurant, best döner (no we don't call döner as a kebab) in a döner shop and best desserts in a dessert shop. take your time and do your research, there are really great places that locals go and they are not too far from tourist quarters.
ok one more tip: don't drink apple tea, no one drinks apple tea in turkey except the vendors of the grand bazaar. it's just kinda processed powder.
Tatlı baklava karaköy güllüoğlunda yiyeceksi.
çok güzel anlatmışsın kardeşim teşekkürler
Nobody can be success at first try in Turkish ice cream challenge.
They are too quick!!
great video, the food in Turkey looks delicious!
Wow i love food !! That so sweet of both of u try all the dishes... everything look yummy 😉
No sugar for 720 lira. I hate shopkeepers who take too much money from tourists
I loved how they are calm and simple,not trying to scream wooooooow after every meal taste 👏❤️❤️
100 % my comfort channel makes me forget the difficult things for a whole 🫶
Awww thank you so much for watching, glad you enjoy our videos! ☺️
What a performance!!😂🍦 Holy smokes! He was quick with the hands and arms I must admit but wow! Everything looked great! All the food looked amazing and not bad prices either , before the sweet shop haha. They must be made with gold I suppose?😅 Hope you guys stay well!😁
Ayyy here he is! Thanks a lot Isaiah, glad you enjoyed it! The ice cream show is so funny definitely an experience!
Great video!
Hello guys wish you enjoy your stay in turkiye, turkey sure has so much to places to visit and the food I say no more just so gorgeous and tasty,I'm not sure how long you guys are out there for but I definitely you travel to trabzon its north east of turkey so beautiful. I have family and friends all over turkey if at any time you may need help we will most happily help you. Good luck and have fun. + you have to try iskender kebab it's so amazing and tasty.
Wow ❤️🇵🇭🏝️ tasty foods enjoy 😋😋😋
There is lots of great food here!
Looks wonderful so far! do you mind giving us a rough run down on daily expenses (even just an estimate at the end of a day), and some about accommodation.
sending love
Try drinking rakı in a meyhane (which is a traditional Turkish pub)
Some of the comments and mispronunciations in the video made me chuckle… “pied” 😂 Enjoy your trip. I’ll follow to see more of where you go.
Love from Istanbul
Are you able to advise on the map where that mussels store is in the street food section?
The water beside the turkish coffee is to reduce oxalate in your mouth/teeth. Means you have to drink it before.
The food in turkiye ia sooo good
Emilia is the first person I heard of that doesn’t like cheese
I thought not liking cheese was literally impossible for humans. Even lactose intolerant people will eat cheese despite getting sick after because it's soo good. It's why I also believe veganism is a mental disease, type of masochism in which people intentionally deny themselves one of life's greatest pleasures. Cheese and meat
I Know 1000 of people who Dont Like cheese or eat just Philadelphia
@@feridedogan7653 lot of friends this guy has
@@feridedogan7653 also LIAR. NO tTurk would EVER not like cheese. That's not a thing. Go hand in your citizenship
@@godofchaoskhorne5043 well i am 33 .so its normal that i Met over 1000 people in my live .i work in a supermarked and out costumers talk alot too. So u Know Them after 1 month because they speak about their Food habbits. I never said i have 1000 friends. And i am not a guy
Kumpir ve sahlep mutlaka deneyin
In Turkish restaurants they give a bread even if you didnt askand you dont have to pay for it
Damn... It hurt seeing 45 lira being 4.5 Euro ... I'm a European Turk. Remember studying in Istanbul for a student exchange program while lira was like 3 to 1 euro. Was worried then about the lira losing value. And now it's 10 to 1.
Evet cok kötü 😢
@@Isen674 Bende gecen almanyadan sivasa ucdum. Lira nasil düsmüs ya. Allah güc ve sabr versin
Which area did u eat the pide n icecream?
Definitely try künefe if you already haven't
I'll put that on the list of things to eat here in Turkey!
@@Joelfriend ohhh also I was surprised that you haven't tried " lahmacun ". 🤔
@@burakaysezer3110 Lahmacun is very good
Welcome to Türkiye
The ice cream is thickened using mastic gum!
Hi i'm Turk. The best eat's;
1) Salihli/odun köfte
2) İskender
3) Adana kebab
4) Kokoreç
5) bear and Midye
6) Fish/çipura-levrek
7) Özkebabistan restaurant/in İzmir-Bornova/hamburger center!
8) İskender/dürüm;
Karabiber!
9) Adana/dürüm (kuyruk yağı want)!
10) mercimek köfte
11) çiğ köfte
12) işkembe/kelle paça/mercimek soup!
13) and if go to Egea village, want to "oğlak kebap"!
Thou shalt not leave Turkey without trying " çiğ köfte "
If you say so, we will have to look up what this is!
@@Joelfriend Joel excellent kofta place opposite blue mosque
5:46 look at this audience in the background 😀
Try Lahmacun
guys you were in scammest place in İstanbul :D come to beşiktaş-kadıköy-karaköy-cihangir-kuzguncuk etc.. have fun =)
Last store you entered (absolutely tourist trap) was kind of empty. My suggestion in such situations, check if locals go in. If it has lots of local people in it, it is unlikely to be tourist trap.
give the name of the shop 9:21
Good👍 my fren
Thank you 👍
Türkiye'de doyduğunu hissetmek 🤗
Guys you must know this. İt is not turkish pizza 😊 Pide is elder than pizza. The Real pizza is inspired by pide.
So it's not turkish pizza. İt's pide.. Actually pizza is italian pide.. We can say this 😇🌸🌸
yes I am turkish and when English tourists visit they charge more because they are not turkish and the sweets are called lokum and when I go be Ayşe I’m Turkish they charge about 12£ for 1kg
♥️🇹🇷😋
6:42 MaDo: Maraş Dondurma 🍦
Turkish coffee is the reason you have coffee in Europe
The food is all the same after a few days. We have been here a week while you have been here.
🇹🇷💪💙🤤
Let us know what else we should eat in TURKEY?
Turk serpme kahvaltısı,İskender,Döner, pide, lahmacun,patlıcan musakka,sac tava, köfte çeşitleri,
Beyran çorbası, kaymaklı kadayıf,künefe, baklava, katmer,fırın sütlaç
you should eat kumpir
Honestly the best meals we had in Istanbul were from among the daily lunch specials at places like Nivhan Restaurant in Sultanahmet. Just walk up to the counter and pick whatever looks good. Baklava and Turkish coffee at Hafiz Mustafa or Karakoy Gulluoglu is also a must!
my favaourite is Mantı👌🏻
Pandeli restaurant in misir carsi
Hey joel bossman, it is pronounced Peeday in turkish not (pied). since I am very familiar with turkish culture, i can help you with pronouciation from now on :)
Any help would be very useful, im terrible a pronunciation even in English 🥶
you can be sure what the candy shop owner did is just a scam. I can say as a Turk, today I mean after 9 months, the 1 kg of turkish delight around 400 TL around
its pronounced Pid day...please ask someone, how its pronounced , your in Turkey
Eat all for me please
Awesome love from Pakistan 🙂🇵🇰🇹🇷😍🥰
720TL just for 1kg lokum? Definitely scam. It should be 250TL MAX. 100TL average
Yeah, this is why we turned away and left
I would advise going to south eastern turkey the capital of turkish food especially Şanlıurfa .also the mountins of the Black Sea region are beautiful you won’t believe how green it is but go there early I think it might snow later on the year so that should be a priority trust me! TIP:Also be sure not to use Arab music in your videos turks get triggered by being called or defined arabs trust me im Turkish and even though I might not be nationalistic I still get triggered so imagine the patriotic people!
Do you hate Arabs? I'm also triggered by comments like this
@@anouarzahraoui1149 no but people hate being confused as arabs here in turkey. Sorry if I offended you I didn’t mean racism but getting you’re culture confused is so triggering
@@bored__cloud Aah okay you're right I know Turkish people have an own culture. But remember that there is not one "Arab culture". That was the reason I felt offended, we Arabs are people that live across 2 continents and even with language we don't understand each other. So there is not just one "Arab music", our DNA connects us but we are not one country. The Arab world is very diverse
@@anouarzahraoui1149 ok stereotypical Arab music would be more accurate
mountins
you got everything tripled in price and you find it still cheap.
Have you ever been told that you look like JAY PALFREY ?!... Do you know him or not ?
2 top dondurma 60 lira mi looo 🥴
Thinks u tryed on this video very pricey mate.. you should be more careful don't let them rip u off
they are pretty normal for Istanbul I think (except that sweet shop at the and with 720 tl), do you realize the inflation we're facing :(
It is Pide not Turkish Pizza! I dont call Pizza an Italian Pide so same logic please!
Turkish food 😍🇹🇷🔥
My honest thoughts on turkish food when I went 2017. It's pretty mediocre in fact I am Far East asian. The spice and aroma is not hitting my taste bud. I felt Lebanese and Egyptian foods are the more real deal.
Bunu yapan dondurma satıcıları çok sıkıcı.
Belki müşterinin psikolisi senin aptal şakanı kaldıracak durumda değil.
Bõylelerinden dondurma asla almıyorum.
Bu sizin doğal haliniz mi, yoksa videoda şirin görünmek için rol mu yapıyorsunuz.?
Is that your natural state, or are you pretending to look cute in the video?
Maraş dondurmacıları eğlenceli olduklarını sanıyorlar ama değiller.
Saçma sapan hareketler . IQU şu düşük insan davranışları bunlar .
Have you guys seen the film called "midnight express"? This is a big yikes...
The cheapest anti Turkish propaganda ever.
You sound like you are one of those people who takes Hollywood seriously.
@The Dark Side of Reality Woah. Midnight express is based on real events thoughever...
@The Dark Side of Reality Wow, well said and with such brevity.
Gece yarısı expresi filmini yapan yöneten isimlere baktım bütün Türk düşmanı milletlerden kişiler yönetiyor,Türklere karşı büyük propaganda filmi.avrupa ,amerika önce kendi yaptıkları pisliklere baksınlar,Amerikalılar Türkiyeye hoş gelmemişler.
Great video but I never trust Turkish people, fair warning going forward, £3 for ice cream , seems a bit much but I guess you have paid for the performance. Take Emilia to Turin, amazing ice cream / Gelato. for less than €3 - Oh and that gets you 3 flavours on one cone !
What reason do you have for not trusting Turkish people.? It sounds bigoted.
@@sibelshinaishin5170 Just my personal experience. They were always lying to me, trying to sell me something I didn't want, trying to extract more money from me, being over friendly in exchange for something else, whenI thought they were just being friendly.and didn't expect anything in return..
a normal ice cream doesn't cost 3 pounds, but that one is "maraş dondurması" which is an icecream specific to kahramanmaraş city and it is made by pounding and includes goat milk etc. it is both for the special ice cream and performance, so yeah
