One of these snacks that will süit everybody’s palate is kumpir.
One of the first dishes that comes to mind when Turkish cuisine is mentioned, lahmacun, is also called Turkish-style pizza by the people of other countries. Lahmacun has been a widely consumed food in Turkey since the 60s. Still, its history actually dates back to much earlier years. Also, lahmacun has become a favorite of tourists who visit the country. If you have the opportunity to visit Turkey, we definitely recommend you try the lahmacun called Turkish-style pizza. In addition, while eating lahmacun, we definitely recommend you try drinking ayran with it.
