aww thank you ❤️ Turkish coffee and Turkish delight is a match made in heaven. I'll take any excuse to eat more Turkish delight...I LOVE it!
yes it is very delicious you must try it
Welcome to Turkey. You are very positive people. I am 1 hour away from Istanbul. And I felt this positivity:))
Thank you so much! That's really wonderful to hear :)
this is like the only %30 of turkish breakfast u can believe that :)
I need the rest haha
*Reminder that this video was filmed before COVID-19 - we are not travelling at this time* 👉 Have you tried Turkish breakfast or coffee before? ☕️ Do you like cheese and jam together??
Yes, I have tried in Turkish Cyprus,,
Awesome! Did you enjoy it?
@@EileenAldis yes, I did
@@EileenAldis why don't you reply on Instagram? I followed your adorable personality but you didn't follow me . Sad
Hi Eileen! Did you have to return to the US during C-19? Love your videos! You are one of my favs.
Kahvaltı is breakfast in Turkish and literally means:before coffee. You must eat before that strong coffee . A lot of breakfast items we have in Turkey goes really well with black tea. So please try to have Turkish coffee after you eat it doesn’t matter breakfast,lunch or dinner 😀
Pozitif bir çift ülkemizi guzel bir sekilde yorumlamaları ayri bir guzellik 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yabancıların ülkemizi tanıtmasını desteklemeliyiz ki ülke turisten kalkınıyor uçak biletinden yediklerine dek kaldıkları otellere dek.
@@emreaksakall3720 dek ne demek
@@aktrol759 Kadar gibi bir anlamı var sanırım. (biz gidene kadar yerine biz gidenedek gibi herhalde )
That looked so good! I definitely want some Turkish coffee now =)
Don’t forget the Turkish Delight too 😉
@@EileenAldis actually, you should drink turkish coffee after breakfast. breakfast in turkish is "kahvaltı" (kahve-altı) which means "the things you ate before coffee".
We look forward to Turkey one day, can't lose starting your day with Turkish delight -Shawna🍁
Whose kidding who .. of course I loved having Turkish breakfast with you. Your enthusiasm had me tasting Every Bite!! I know that Turkish coffee had you wound up for hours!! 😉☕☺ Thanks Eileen & Marc! YUMM
Yay! Wasn't the presentation so pretty?! I love when food is laid out like that. hahah yes that coffee was strong but I loved it and also how they serve it with the cute water (reminded me a bit of Vienna coffee service) and Turkish delight. Can't get enough of that heavenly stuff. Happy you enjoyed sharing this meal with us! ;)
My favourite place Istanbul, I always come there from London. Lots of love and respect from Afghan
Thank you for your sympathetic contribution to the promotion of my country and especially Istanbul. 🤗
Ne kadar pozitif bir çift hayat enerjilerine bayıldım doğrusu
Oh yeah, so much amazing food there. Love those bakeries. Mmmmmm, mmmm, good.
Yes!! They know how to make delicious food ❤️
Hello guys ! Thank you for this video ) I have never been in Instanbul ;) Hope I can visit this amazing country and try turkish breakfast :)
Hello! This was our first time in Istanbul and it blew our minds. It's a fascinating place...full of good food, as you can see :) This is such a great way to start the day.
Would love a Turkish breakfast looks so healthy. Would like to combine it with a visit to Hagia Sophia and take in a football match at Galatasaray. I love jam and cheese together also cheese/peanut butter, cheese/Marmite in fact anything with cheese
@bm3racer I will indeed
I am telling you this as a Galatasaray supporter, you really SHOULD see that atmosphere live, right at the stadium! I hope you'll have chance to see it and also have so much fun in the city 😇
Thanks a lot guys so nice and always positive reporting about us ....you are glistening ..
Türk kahvesi kahvaltıdan sonra içilir. Bizim kahvaltımızda çay içilir. 😃 Ayrıca gerçekten bir Türk kahvaltısı istiyorsanız menemensiz olmaz. Bir daha ki sefere artık. Afiyet olsun. 💜
Turkish breakfast without a scrambled egg and olive oil drizzled all over on top is a crime lol~! but everything looked great regardless!
Haha well then please arrest me because that sounds delicious and I want some! 😂 🚔
Thanks for amazing videos from land of the heaven Turkey...
As with many cultures, Sunday breakfast turns into a brunch due to late wakers.
Today at the black sea region of Turkey we had a whopper of breakfast with 32 varieties on our table. That really took us by surprise and we did try every delicacy brought before us.
Turks love family gatherings and big and filled tables. So lucky to be married to a girl from the black sea region.
Thanks for the breakfast tour, great job guys.
Eileen - YES, I love cheese and jam. Nothing beats the sweet and salty combo. I am enjoying your Turkish adventure!
Welcome Turkey 🤗 you both are so cute and kind. Definitely is not a turkish traditional breakfast because a lot of things are missing , its a minimalist turkish breakfast. If you come again i will gladly guide u 🤗 With respect and loves from İstanbul ☺️
Oh I hate losing cheese🧀🤣🤣. What an amazing Turkish breakfast!! I am a 'Coffee' person, so that coffee OMG!!! Thank you for inviting us.☘👌.
In Turkish breakfast means kahvaltı. It is combination of 2 words "Kahve" - "Altı" . Which means Under Coffee at direct translation. But it means like "Before coffee". We drink Turkish coffee after breakfast. We drink tea with breakfast :)
I love to watch you guys more than watching my favorite Turkish food.
I felt that first time❤️
Önceki yorumları okumadım, belki de yazmışlardır. Türk kültüründe kahvaltı, kahve içmeden önce alınan aperatiflerden oluşan bir öğündür. Breakfast( Kahvaltı: kahve+altı) Sert bir kahveye hazırlanmak için.. O yüzden kahvaltıda çay veya süt içeriz. Çok güzel bir çiftsiniz, özeniyorum size. Böyle dünya lezzetlerini tadarak gezmek en büyük hayalim :)
Turkish food is the most delicious and most underrated food. I love Turkish breakfast and I wish I was there it was fun to watch.
One of the my favourite youtuber.
Smilely faces
Energytic minds
Good explains
And incredible 2 humans
I so love your videos they’re so authentic
sorry guys but thats not the real traditional Turkish breakfast :D its just a small portion of it in a small bakery . You should really find a place and try real Turkish breakfast .I didnt see any kaymak , menemen and more kinds of jams , different kinds of cheeses and more stuff :) Hope you enjoyed your time here , wish you guys the best
She has come to turkey yes you're right
This unique city which is admired by its charming nature and the attractive atmosphere is also the symbol of dynamic and modern city life. Istanbul has a multicultural texture and a lively atmosphere that melts the past and future in a single pot which provides a sense of universal history at every step.
Thanks for sharing this. Are you from Turkey?
It is my daily breakfast before i go school, you hadn't experienced the real amazing turkish breakfast yet, believe me!!
I thin you are rich because I just eat boiling egs before I go school and I'm Turkish
Welcome to Turkey. Usually we consume coffee after eating :)
Thank you! I guess we couldn't wait ;)
If you love to eat, Gaziantep (a town in the south of Turkey) I would definitely recommend you to come.
You really think she doesn't like Food and is ripped, lol?
I love the way you spread positiveness, so soo cute 😍 Hope you guys can explore the city more and more. Enjoy ! 💜
Ps: next time you gotta try menemen -which is my personal favorite- on the brekfast 🙈
yaptığınız kahvaltı çok hafif :) çok çok fazla kahvaltı çeşidimiz var , yöresel çok fazla tadımız var. farklı kahvaltcılarda daha fazla çeşit tadarsınız umarım. Şu an saat 23.00 gideyim de gece kahvaltısı yapayım :) Afiyet olsun sizlere :)
You had a breakfast in a simple place that there is many nice breakfast place in istanbul
Cheese and apricot jam... Heavenly! Best combination ever!
Hey Arto! Yumm I love apricot jam! What kind of cheese do you like to eat it with?
My preferred choice is halloumi or Armenian string cheese in a toasted crescent roll. Or any white cheese that is not too salty. Enjoy!
Turkish breakfast perfect :)
Perfect way to start the day ❤️
Yaaa sizi yeni tanıdım çok iyi bi çiftsiniz ülkemi sizin videolarınızdan daha güzel gördüm teşekkürler 🤩 daha fazla video 😌
So positive, so happy, so Canadian.
That breakfast looks super yummy and fairly healthy too.
Hey Angie! That's a good point! I think that because of the way it's served it also takes longer to eat, which gives you more time to enjoy and digest too. :)
@@EileenAldis Yeah... and there are vegetables, so it's basically a salad haha
@@akritenbrink basically 😂
@@feyzaaltunugurel1750 Wow, that sounds like an incredible feast. Now you've made me hungry! Thanks for sharing this! Whereabouts in Ontario do you live?
İkili Türkiye de seviliyorsunuz..iyiki varsınız
kahvaltımızı seviyorum ve çok lezzetliler
As a resident of Istanbul, thank you for a very nice introduction
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Your city is incredible ❤️
Thank you, I suggest you see Cappadocia. 🤚
@@hjkkhjkk127 We'd love to! Someday.
Eileen Aldis 🤲🤲
Yay! So happy to see another upload ❤️
I'm starving now though 🙄 🙈 So much good food 😍
Hey Ankita! I know, looking at this makes me hungry too haha 😋I love how it covers the table and the nice presentation and everything 👌
@@EileenAldis Yes, table full off amazing food ❤️ What's better than that!
You have to have breakfast at Bazlama it is in nisantasi (istanbul) itq quite expensive but its the best place
صحة و عافية.. أجمل فطور مع القهوة التركية 💙👌
Cheese and jam is great!! I also love butter with strawbrerry jam
Ooh me too! Also delicious 😋
YUM!
My kinda breakfast.....Lotsa stuff with a range of tastes and textures!
Not what I was expecting.....But I loved it and wanna try!
Exactly! I love when there are lots of little things to try ❤️
I started watching your videos.. love them..I love how you love food and go on a exploration to find it.. lots of fun and yeah the food looks yummyyyy 💙
Jam and cheese, olive and honey, butter and nutella. All of them are best buddies. :) And for real Turkish breakfast, you must eat 14-15 different things, with tea.
Would love a Turkish breakfast looks so healthy.
Hey Kim! I'd happily eat these for a looooong time without getting bored ;)
Wow.... I must visit this Lovely place. And have this delish breakfast.
Yes I Like cheese and Jam too.
🤗💖🤗🙏
I miss Istanbul😍😍😍😍
You should try the "menemen" and "kuymak" in the breakfast for sure :D
Wonderfull breakfast....healthy items...
Delicious!
Love the great review 👍
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
First of all, welcome to Istanbul. I hope you have a pleasant and full time. I love you ❤️
Thank you! We had an absolutely wonderful time ❤️
So happy to see another upload, am missing your videos. A fan from an extremely cold Cape Town!
aww thank you, Wendy! Sending you some Canadian sunshine to Cape Town...we'll be needing it back far too soon though ;) We've never been to South Africa and really, reallllly want to. Someday!
You should try 'menemen' for breakfast , its very delicious...
Thanks!!! Wonderful breakfast!!! ✌️😊😊
Hey Robert! Happy you enjoyed it as much as we did! 😃
I really like Jam and feta (a kind of white cheese) , you are very sympathic, good job, Thanks from Turkey
Hello and thank you! I've never tried jam with feta but I now I want to - appreciate your suggestion :)
Tebrikler yiğenim devamı gelsin emeğine sağlık tanrı seni korusun isa ışığın olsun havariler seninle olsun tanrı 🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
OMG. How I miss Istanbul 🥰🥰🥰
It looks so beautiful and yummy🤩🤩🤩
It was! We loved this spot near our Airbnb (one of them) and came more than once :)
Thanks you soo much this for video
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
these two are soooo cute and have interesting content... Great job you guys !
This was a bakery so they had a bakery style breakfast, still good but not in same scale of only breakfast restaurants at all which serve Turkish breakfast all day long!! You should definitely try one of those restaurants next time, believe me you won't regret it :))
Girl you are sooo likable !
aww that's sweet, thank you ❤️
Elieen, you are very smiling, always be like this 🙏😍☺️
Yaa çok tatlısınız, dünden beri sizi izliyorum,❤️❤️
Şirin fırın gerçekten doğru seçim 👏harikadır
Cheese and Jam - perfect
Loving seeing the Turkish influences on Bosnia here. Burek, Turkish Coffee, Baklava!!! You *must* visit Baščaršija in Sarajevo!!!!
I know that you have been in Germany and Austria, but seem to have missed that you lived for a longer time in Germany with a host family. Where did you live in Germany??
This breakfast is only a small part of Turkish Breakfast. You should have tried Menemen (eggs cooked with finely chopped tomatoes, garlic, green peppers), Turkish Sousage (we called sucuk) and Turkish bacon (called pastırma). In our culture my ancestors always said "Do your breakfast well, don't eat too much at lunch and eat your dinner light".
in case, if you want to eat more delicious and spicy food, or Real Baklava, you should visit Gaziantep or Şanlıurfa. Especially in Gaziantep, you will eat the best baklava in the world ( Next time try baklava with handmade Ayran). In Şanlıurfa you have to taste Büryan, i think you will love it. You should visit both cities at tge same time, they are neighbours (150 km distance between them).
Note: Last thing i have to say that eat your breakfast with black tea. You should drink your Turkish coffe after the breakfast. Kahvaltı is a compound word of two words. Kahve + Altı = Kahvaltı. Kahve is Coffee, altı means prior, so kahvaltı means prior to coffee :D
Thanks and stay safe :)
I like Istanbul because I was born in Istanbul in 1978..walthamstow love . As a balkan person.
Thanks for your smile.. Prophet Muhammed says a smile it is like a sadaka
Hey Paul! Thanks so much ❤️
great energy. love ur videos
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear ❤️
I can't say for all jams, but eating cherry jam and curd cheese together is incredibly beautiful. In addition, if you can find it, instead of curd cheese, "çökelek cheese" is much better.
Pls come to India . You will get the opportunity to see how street food should looks like ... Once you come here ... You'll Amaze by not only just food but also by our culture and diversity... It would be possible then you have to come here atleast once in your life.... Good wishes for your future guys... ... Lots of love from India .....
Excellent vlog thank you
Thanks!
Turkey has the best cousine in the world
Fantastic food 😋
Dişleriniz temiz ve bakımlı,istediğiniz kadar gülebilirsiniz.
Jam and Philadelphia spread is best combo
Nice video enjoy your time in Turkey 👍
Thank you! We loved it :)
there is a place in San Francisco, Ca that makes lots of different kinds of grilled cheese sandwiches and they use different kinds of jellies and jams. the salt from the cheese compliments the sweet of the jam
Love your reaction Marc to the lost cheese! Love the foodie videos. They make me hungry though!!
He was so devastated 😂 "I hate it when I lose cheese..." hahah
love cheese and jam on toast a favourite late snack....
Agreed! It’s so delicious 😋
J'ai hâte de retourner en Turquie inshaAllah,revoir Istanbul et l île aux Princes
Message de France
Really fun breakfast!!!
Hi Betsy! YES! Wasn't the presentation pretty?! Made me happy just looking at the full table ❤️
I must say, this is a mini little tiny version of Turkish breakfast 😀some restaurants and cafes serve "serpme" breakfast, which has a lot of different types of cheese, olive, marmalade etc with Turkish style omlettes like "menemen" or "muhlama"... it's a huge meal 😍
We need to come back and eat more delicious Turkish breakfast! If you have a restaurant you'd recommend we'd love to hear. 😄
What a good experience guys!
We loved your channel so we have subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome to our channel! Happy you enjoyed this delicious meal as much as we did :)
A little advice: Don't add sugar to Turkish coffee afterwards because when you stir it, the sunken coffee grounds mix and make it taste bad. Sugar needs to be added while the coffee is brewed. Tell the waiters the amount of sugar you want when ordering. Otherwise, they would serve your coffee with no sugar and it is very strong already. (Az şekerli = a little sugar, orta şekerli = medium sugar, çok şekerli =much sugar, sade=no sugar) Orta şekerli is the best!
And don't forget to have a fortune telling :D Here you can find information about this tradition: th-cam.com/video/qIKs5x-cnjQ/w-d-xo.html
Drink Turkish tea with your breakfast.after finish your breakfast have a coffee. it is best way to have enjoy.
The Turks know how to eat! It’s my favourite food in the world. I visit every year to get my fix!!
That’s awesome you visit each year! What are your favourites?
If you want to taste and see how is the real breakfast, go to the Van. It is famous city in Turkey which is famous with Turkish breakfast. Also, you should go to the Gaziantep bcs it is famous with baklava. Istanbul is really good city but you should have a trip contains East of Turkey as well.
traditional breakfast is cheese( there are a variety of , eggs, olives, butter, kaymak, recel, bread and tea, also some greens like rocket kuzukulak with tomatoes and cucumber.
