    I am Bulgarian, we share a border with the European end of Turkey, and thus we have many Turks living in my country and a strong influence on the food. The Doner Kebab and tolumbi desserts are commonly found in street vendors all throughout Bulgaria.

      Agree! In a research more than 20 years ago it was found that we have more than literally 1000 types of bread. French and German breads are famous rightfuly so but we also do have some as well. The bad part is that majority of them are not categorized or made standart of them. So i.e. if you go to the eastern regions you'll see that people often eat a common type of flat bread what they call "ekmek" whic is literally bread. In western regions its known as "pide". And we have so many types of "pide" as well! So you see how crazy is this. My fav. is the sourdough "Ottoman bread" as we call with sunflower seeds on it. If you visit here again, you should def. try it. Its "ekşi mayalı Osmanlı ekmeği". You probably saw standard loaf bread in everywhere, it's really different than that.

    As an Azerbaijani, I absolutely love Turkish cuisine (and lots of other things in Turkey). Its rich both in quality and quantity, tasteful, nutritional, fragrant, and appealing to the eye. The soul of Turkish cuisine is in the street indeed. There's still so much for you to taste, Guga, there's an enormous amount of amazing dishes, but my personal favourites are stuffed grape leaves with meat (also known as dolma), Iskender kebab and various types of pide. And, of course, nothing beats a good old doner.

    Turkish food is OUTSTANDING. In the UK we have a lot of Turkish restraurants, many a person out on a few beers has succumbed to a good doner kebab on the way home. Especially if they have the right (the freshest stuff) meat grilling with the smell wafting down the street.
    In another note, I've been hearing about a South Korean wagyu, called Hanwoo. Could be worth looking at if you can get some. Apparently it's a fair bit different.

    Hi Guga, it's great to see you have enjoyed some of the delicacies of Turkish street food in Istanbul. Although you seemed to have tried some famous buffets, you didn't seem to have visited the best places. For example there are some famous doner shops that have so much better doner than those you have tried. The difference is huge, like they are different dishes. Also, one important note is that although their tribe may be named as the same, the fish in Marmara Sea are very different in terms of taste. So, the bonitos you use as shark bait in US taste totally different than the ones that live in Marmara, due to the habitat and the way they are feeding most probably. The same goes for many other tribes as well. The most astonishing example of this is the bluefish. In Istanbul, the Marmara Bluefish (Lüfer) is one of the most sought after fish due to its oily texture and superior sea taste (We even call it king of the fish), whereas in US it tastes much more bland and not considered as a very nice fish.
    As a person who travels a lot, I can easily say that when it comes to street food or regular daily food, Turkish cuisine is one of the best in the world, if not the best. I am not nationalistic about any other thing but Turkey is really, really good at food. This is not just about the success of 9-10 kind of food such as doner, shish kebap etc. but there are hundreds of great original and unique food that you can't find anywhere else, not even in Greece which is one of the best places on Earth . There is for example, a milky dessert made of chicken breast! One cannot imagine how a dessert made of chicken breast can taste so incredible until they taste it! There are countless examples of unique food like that in Turkey. You need a better guide next time just for food =)

    Hey Guga, I’m a fisherman in New England and we love catching your “bonito” from the shore in fall months, as they are quite rare for us. However, we call them false albacore, or albies. Like you Floridians, no one eats them. However, what you likely ate, was Atlantic Bonito, and they are very tasty. They look very similar to albies (your “bonito”) and are often mixed in with false albacore schools. Hopefully this straightens up any confusion.

    • @cevdetcanercan8864
      @cevdetcanercan8864 Před 11 měsíci +3

      As a Turk, you are right, looks like this one called Atlantic Bonito in English. But to add confusion, we name and cook this fish differently. This sizes called "palamut" mainly, about 1,5-2 sizes called "torik". There are lots of recipes, I can't cover it since I am not cook or expert. But basically we Turks grill/fry/oven/pickle this, last one called "lakerda".

    Most of the food you got to experience can be found in other countries in the neighboring region, like Greece, where I come from. It is quite hard to decide the origin place of such foods, when for centuries our cultures were strongly interacting.

    Aaah, I’m a total fanboy! I wish I could see you somewhere in the streets of Istanbul. From bonkers steak marinades to cooking everything sous vide, I wish I could chat you a little how your videos have changed my cooking habits. Glad you enjoyed our city

    If we all would travel the world and try eachothers food, there would not be much reason to fight eachother. You don't have to like the food of other countries, but you have to appreciate, that the locals do. And if you like it too, even better! Keep up the good work, Guga!

    Good on you going to Turkey man!! that was incredible to see, you're much more than just a meat guy, you're really into good hardy foods, and that makes you very entertaining and insightful to watch. Love the side dishes recently that you show and try in all of your videos, keep it up!! Much love
