    Ayran you should drink with a proper Iskender kebab on a hot day, the salt and yoghurt compliment the meat, cut the fat and if it’s hot it also adds a nice cold dimension. Ayran just rocks during summer, so many great food memories from my months of working in Istanbul for a Turkish TV operator :) tip: shake it until really frothy.

    I'm not someone that complains about "cultural appropriation" ever but there is no other way to describe German attitude towards Doner. Literally every single German I've ever met is convinced that Doner was actually invented in Germany. When in reality, Doner existed for hundreds of years before Turks ever moved to Germany. Before the 18 hundreds it was roasted horizontally, till some chef in Bursa came up with the brilliant idea to do it vertically because it keeps the meat more moist (the fats melt over the meat). Doner has always been sold in both restaurants as a proper meal and as fast food etc. There are three German arguments I've heard. First one: Doner doesn't exist in Turkey, only in touristy places, it was completely invented in Germany (lol). Two, Doner was invented in Germany and spread to Turkey (lol). Lastly: Yes, sure, Doner existed before. But it was Germany that reinvented it as fast food and put it in between bread with condiments. All three of these are false. But I've had Germans get incredibly offended when they mentioned how they invented doner and I pointed out that wasn't true.

    As a Turkish who grew up in Türkiye, I would recommend you visit Türkiye. I always feel if you want to experience something you should go it's home. Different countries have different preferences so foods changes over place to place. For example you won't be able to find kapsalon in Türkiye. Actually it's totally a Holland-Turkish food 😅 On the other hand I think it would be interesting to compare the taste between Netherlands and Türkiye.😊

    My suggestion to you friends is to take an Istanbul Street Food tour immediately when the Turkish economy is living the worst years of it's history. There is a huge difference between the Turkish food you eat in Europe and the food you eat in Turkey. These are all Europish way of Turkish Foods. There must be only cheese in the Gözleme. Döner and Kebab are two different things. In Turkiye we only put meat and some salad in Döner and also Dürüm. German based Döner is all around Europe and that's why they put too much stuff like sauce to make it a greasy form which is not healthy. Dürüm does not contains meatballs Etc.

    Thanks for the video, it's great to see people from other cultures taste foreign food ☺If I might, I just wanted to give my opinion about these 'Turkish' food: - Typically the gözleme is made with spinach and white (feta) cheese, or a spicy potato mash mixture. As a Turkish guy who lived there for 24 years, I personally never had a gözleme with sucuk and eggs. - The döner schotel (porsiyon döner in Turkish) will typically just be served with some wraps or some kind of rice (white rice or bulgur), grilled veggies and salad, not with french fries. - The broodje döner will normally be served in another type Turkish bread, but at some shops you can find this type of round bread too which is usually called 'gobit'. The ingredients are mostly more simple and Turkish people definitely don't use any garlic sauce. Usually it's served with tomatoes, lettuce, onion, pickles. Sometimes they add some kind of tomato sauce or ketchup and sometimes mayonnaise. That is also the case for dürüm döner. There is though a certain style of döner which is called Hatay or Antakya style which is usually served in a wrap and includes fries, some vegetables, tomato sauce and garlic mayo. - Falafel is originally from Lebanon, in Türkiye there are not many places where you can find falafel. But in the last years with the refugees from Syria, there are a few more falafel shops which are opened in Türkiye. - The kapsalon is indeed invented in the Netherlands and 999/1000 döner shop owners in Türkiye haven't even heard about this dish and it's almost impossible to find in Türkiye. Thanks for reading! ❤

    You can make DIY kapsalon with frozen frikandellen. Use a cheese slicer to cut slices from the frozen frikandellen and use those instead of kebab. (you do still want to heat them up ofcourse). Pizza from a Turkish spot beats any chain restaurant like Dominos or NY Pizza btw. It's almost half the price, they bake their pizzas properly (so no half baked slab of floppy dough) and you get decent toppings. Id say you covered all of the essentials though

    🇳🇱 QUICK FACT: 🌮Kapsalon (English: Barbershop/hair salon) is actually a Dutch- Cape Verdean dish based on Turkish cuisine!! You will not find it in Turkiye AT ALL. The dish was created in Rotterdam in 2002 when Dutch - Cape Verdean barber Nataniël "Tati" Gomes (1976-2023), who was also the owner of a hair salon (kapsalon) on the Rotterdam Schiedamseweg, had a lunch dish put together at the shawarma shop "El Aviva" in the same street, the recipe he created was made from all his favorite ingredients.The dish caught so much attention of the clients of the barber as well as the that within the next year 2003 it became a nationally recognized dish and it grew out to become an actual national dish in the years following, it is now officially Rotterdam heritage and technically it is a Cape-Verdean-Turkish-Dutch dish!. Sadly the creator of the recipe passed away summer of 2023 at the young age of 47, but his legacy is immortalized in Dutch culture! THANK YOU TATI GOMES!❤🇳🇱🇨🇻🇹🇷

    In general I would say that if you eat a dish with a foreign origin you have a big chance that the dish is altered from it's original due to local circumstances like the local taste and the availability of ingredients. Look at Indonesian restaurants or Chinese restaurants in the Netherlands. The dishes there are adapted for the Dutch taste. If you appreciate the dishes as they are presented there is no problem with that of course but some times they don't really compare good with the originals.

    This is really interresting, and to me, surpricing. Wherever you go in Europe (Scandinavia, Benelux, Germany, Austria etc etc) you will find Turkish take-aways (type Doner Kebab) but also sit down restaurants with fantastic food. What makes it so surpricing to me is that YOU never came across it before you moved to Europe. Here it is staple food almost on the whole continent... however, you have missed some amazing Turkish food. Among the fast food you might find 'Kofte'. Minced meat on a stick with LOADS of herbs. It might sound abit basic, but the herbs lift the meat to new hights. If you happens to have a jar of 'Ajvar' to dip them in, you just entered food heaven. (In former Yugoslavia they have a version called Chivapchichi... even more wonderful). . In Turkish restaurants you can also get a kind of breakfast you NEVER tasted before. Its a BIG bowl of something that looks like tomato soup, but it is so full of flavor that you can't even work out just what is in there... and then you eat that with bread from the stone oven. It will fill you up really well, but you will not feel over-full as you might feel after a lot of 'western' breakfasts.

    You might not see this comment but! , As a Turk born in The Netherlands and raised here i would like to do a little reccomendation . The Turkish food scene here is a wreck its mostly dominated by people who love to sell cheap meat to tourists or Dutch people who dont know the ''authentic'' taste of the real deal so they just eat it as long as you put enough sauce on it to mask the taste . If you want to eat good Turkish ''street food '' style food here in the Netherlands i would reccomend the restaurants the Syrians opened here . Its 99% the same as Turkish food and its still more authentic since those people have not yet been here for to long . Damas in The hague's gouverneurlaan is 1 of my favorite and they have a bakkery right across the street that has some off menu bangers like there falafel wraps . Maxima in the Zeehelden kwartier has some top tier doner kebab where they have actually good quality meat for both chicken and beef . On the erasmusweg you have a wooden shack where the guy sells doner kebab that he stacks himself each day fresh not factory made which i also recommend .
