Turkish

Turkish food, another cuisine that is diverse, vibrant, healthy, and delicious. Turkish cuisine, like many others of the world, is regional. It is also the result of a combination of Ottoman, Central Asian, Middle Eastern, and Balkan culinary traditions.

The food supply in Turkey is vast. It is one of the few countries in the world that can produce enough food to feed its people, and have leftover for export.

The diversity of Turkish cuisine is largely based on the multiple geographic regions that make up the country. Also, its geographical location, at the crossroads of two continents: Europe and Asia. The foods reflect this.

In the southeast the food is spicier than in other areas, and it is also known for many sweet pastries, and kebabs.

Everywhere you go in Turkey you will find different foods that are bursting with flavor. For example, you cannot leave Turkey without eating Turkish pide.
