It looks wonderful!!! I like it. You are great! And so funny, I like to watch you. I made your hummus recipe and it's very delicious. Thank you for your inspiration. ❤️ I want to make it for our lunch this week. Sorry, my English is not good I am from Austria and my language is German
What a treat for an Indian who loves Turkish culture, language and food. (Being a vegetarian doesn’t stop me from watching your show). LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
To tell you the truth I ate one for breakfast today 😬 my kitchen is under construction and dor us and the workman I ordered.. (of course ordered a little more than needed so I had spare for breakfast..
@@Refika Refika how can you trust the restaurants in these days? Even one hygene or mask mistake of the staffs can make us Covid. I want to eat lahmacun and icli kofte (you should definetly do the recipe of it) but i cant, due to lack of trust. Fantastic video btw, i laughed so hard at the beginning:)
I have never even heard of this until now, so I jumped up and started the dough! We will have this tonight!!!! I am so thankful I get to watch your videos. I would have never known how good Turkish food is. I love Turkish food!!!!!!!
I am so jealous of Refika's partner, imagine having her cooking for you every single day. That's one hell of a lucky dude 🙈 P.S Yes i am a girl and yes, i am having a girl crush on Refika 😅
I would echo your sentiment. Turkish cuisine has always been a challenge for me but since watching Refika's videos (even the Turkish ones) I am more confident trying dishes I would never have dreamed of like isekender, cilbir and doner kebab.
Armenian here, as well. Grew up with Lahmajun with a lot of Armenian food shops and restaurants. My great-grandmother (came from Turkey) also made it but recorded no recipes. I just made a batch today for the first time and then watched your video after. Very similar!
Hello Refika! Your mission is completed....I'm french, this is the first video of you that I watch. I find it so cute you want a french guy to cook a lahmacun. I did it tonight for my wonderful husband. He loved it however it wasn't as beautiful as yours! Thanks a lot! A bientôt from France
Je vous souhaite du succès dans vos expériences culinaires turques. Je suis turque mais tous les fouis que je cuisine, j’utilise les recettes de refika :)
I'm beginning to develop a love affair for Turkish cuisine. All the things I've seen from you are so enticing. I need a lot of practice in the execution... but it looks so worth it.
I made this for my family today, it was a huge success! I will definitely make it again. The only change I will make next time, is to make more of it... They couldn't get enough 😅
I'm french and I cooked your Adana kebab recipe for who is now my ex lover and it was delicious, but seeing how tasty the lahmacun looks it's next on my cooking list 👍
Hey, Bulgarian here! I am really into exploring Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine lately, it has a lot in common with Balkan cuisine and we can find most of the ingredient easily and cheaply here. Your channel is a huge find for me, I subscribed almost immediately. Thanks :)
I've watched many of your videos and since we can't travel right now I decided to get lunch from a family owned small Turkish restaurant. I got the Lahmacun and Kunefe. The smell of the food was so yummy and I really enjoyed both dishes. I can't wait to try more! Thank you for teaching us about Turkey and your culture and your food!
Lahmacun , lahmacun it's treat. Lahmacun , lahmacun fun to eat. Ooey-gooey meat so yummy. Crunchy dough goes into my tummy. Lahmacun , lahmacun it's treat. Lahmacun , lahmacun fun to eat.
Refika, if you want your dream to come true, i am your guy, send that kit to me in France and my Turkish wife will definitely get to eat lahmacun made with it. :)
I'm from India, but I live in Munich, Germany now. "Turkish" takeaways are everywhere and cheap here and some of them have really good döner. But all the Lahmacun at these joints is pre-cooked. I had lahmacun at Halil in Kadiköy and it blew my mind. They were making it fresh by order and serving to the table piping hot, straight out of the oven. I will never have the pre-cooked version after that. I was supposed to be in Istanbul again in April, but of course that didn't happen. But whenever I'm back, the lahmacun at Halil and the Adana Kebab roll at Dürümzade are some of the first foods I will eat. Thanks for the recipe. I somehow never thought of making lahmacun at home, but it looks relatively straightforward. This should make for a great dinner party.
Refika, I appreciate how acknowledge all the countries that share variations of one recipe! It is nice of you to mention how recipes evolve through time! Food history is fascinating. Love your channel ❤️
OMGosh!!! You just brought back my childhood in Adana!!! My father was stationed at Incirlic AFB. He married a Turkish woman and I was raised by her family and taught the Turkish way. To this day I have very fond memories of those days. Thank you for this!!! I do enjoy watching your vlogs!!!
I love your show! I’m native Texan, we use a lot of onion here also, I probably use 2 to 4 large onions daily!! Lol! It’s a staple here along with garlic and pinto beans! I have 2 garden beds devoted to onion!
Thank you for the memories. In high school I had two friends Lisa and Lina, they were from Lebanon and their mother would make something like this I called them pizzas but it was the most delicious think I've ever tasted. I love your channel. Thank you for bringing Turkey to our home.
I’m Norwegian and like you, I discovered Lahmébajine in Lebanon when I visited that beautiful country for the first time ten years ago. This dish isn’t Turkish, starting with the name of it, it means nothing in Turkish. The Turks took most of their food from Lebanon, Syria and the Middle East, and also from Greece. The Turks came to the region from Central Asia not from the Mediterranean world.
@@Tugba-havva Don't be ridiculous. Lebanon and Syria have a history of thousands of years. The turks came from Central Asia during the Middle Ages. Go and learn history. Plus Americans call this food Armenian Pizza, Jordanians call it Sfeeha Ermeniye which means Armenian Pastry . Turks always steal other peoples' cuisine. This food is a part of the Armenian cuisine.
I lived in Turkey (incirlik) many years ago when I was 12-14 years old. I fell in love with the food. I wanted to take 3 dishes back home (the US) with me. Börek, Ekmek, and what they called "Turkisk Pizza". This is that last dish. Thank you so much.
For bread recipes you can check Refika's other channel or Burak'ın ekmek teknesi... You can find easy ways to cook at home based on similar tastes as well as possible.
From what I know, most ethnic cultures are obsessed with onions- this makes sense since ethnic cuisines also like to go heavy handed with their flavours and onion helps to give that pungent kick.
I finally made your LAHMACUN and it was the best! I don't care where it originally came from, I was not around at that moment, and I don't believe anyone here was when it was invented in the first place and your recipe, my dearest Rafika IS THE BEST, THE VERY BEST. Along with your smiling face, your laughter, your funny crew, and your beautiful instructions, I am so happy to watch your cooking videos. I am always learning new ways to make the same things I have always made for my family and friends. Same ingredients, just a new twist and still very delicious. Thank you sweet girl for all the happiness you share with all of us. I live in the US, in the Los Angeles area, and as a woman who has been cooking and baking for over 60 years, you have impressed me, made me smile and laugh, and for the first time I am happy that I own a stupid computer, if only to watch your RUclips cooking videos. I wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year with many new adventures in cooking and eating all over the world. Much Love and Blessings to You and Your Crazy Crew, Violet
Thank you for teaching me how to make Lahmacun, Refika! I am norwegian, not French, but I'd say you have accomplished your dream. Made these lahmacuns today for my family, and it reminded me of years ago when I visited Turkey. Again, thank you!
I feel so nervous and sad today. Watching your video makes me feel better. You have such beautiful energy and I feel it when watching the video. You have a beautiful soul dear Refika. 😘 Love from USA ❤️
@@mertunal2521 thank you for your kind reply. I’m praying for you and your country-men, country-women. Love ❤️ to you and Bahar and the rest of your team. Hope everyone in your family is safe. You are a beautiful soul, so sorry this happened to your beautiful country. Love and prayers for strength for all affected. And I know you have such a integral relationship to your land, so may Allah bless your land to. 🙏
So... I have wanted to try turkish Pizza since forever. I was discussing it in a forum unrelated to food, and learned Turkish Pizza is really called Lahmacun. Then the next day you dropped this video! I have been subscribing here in Oregon for maybe 2 or 3 months. This was the first meal of yours I have made. It was amazing. Thank you for showing this technique for making in my home! I even made my own dough! I could not get as thin as yours but was also my first attempt. Cheers!
You Rock Dear🤟! I’m from Bulgaristan, and i used to have a turkish restaurant next to my work - they had a wood oven and baked lachmajun, pide and tava with minched beef. You inspires a lot, keep rocking. I’m watching you also on 24 kitchen. I was thinking that you have to put isot and you put in in the next moment! Just for an idea for future - kokoreci, tava djiger, ci kofte...
I wish to visit beautiful Turkey one day and live amongst the people who can teach me these great food and history. Türkiye büyük bir millet ve Güney Afrika tarafından çok saygı görüyor. Aşk ve barış. 🇿🇦
Hi Refika! Thank you for your amazing recipes. I'm Greek living in Scotland and love Turkish food since it's very close to greek food and it reminds me of home. The best lahmacun I had was in Berlin , where some Turkish grandmas were cooking it on some kind of spherical oven. I've never had a lahmacun in Turkey although I've been many times. I'll save it for next time I come :)
You are the type of person, to be the reason behind why an introvert teenager would love to attend family functions. Joyful, Caring, Loving, Enjoying. You are so sweet. Love from India......... And when you come to India, pleaase visit Kerala. Always WELCOME
Heiii... refikaa.. 💘.. i tried lahmacum with available grocerry nd even without oven... it taste yummm.. and u knw i dont even know what is actual taste 😁.. but its uuu... make me to cook.. Love from kerala, India
i'm a freanch woman living in Paris and i plan to cook it to my lover for you (or ask him to do it!!)(but i'm better at cooking so... i'll have to choose between taste and fulfilling your wish)
OMG I like everything in this video .. but the crunching sound of the crust is my favorite part. as always I keep falling in love with Turkish cuisine. 😍😍🤗🤗
I’ve so wanted to travel to Turkey when I retired which happened to be the very day the “lockdown” happened here so no travel for me at this point, but ... The positive note that’s come out of this is you! You post, I get a sudden craving for what you’ve made and run to the kitchen to replicate it. I just did a huge market haul and did not pick up lamb, but will definitely get some in the next few days so I can make this. I think it will become a regular in my house.
Omg I have to try this soon! I’ve never had any Turkish food, and these look amazing 💕 I’m so glad I found your channel! Lots of love from Montreal, Canada!
Refika! I can’t say that enough that as an American-turkish women I am proud of you and what you do. Such an effort and work to do that. And thank you for explaining our gorgeous cuisine to the world in a perfect way. You are AMAZING! I will do everything to spread these great videos and I am hundred percent sure you will grow as swift as thought because you deserve it! Thank you!! So much love from New York❤️
I love all the You Tube videos that I've seen. Please keep them coming. I'm watching you from Calgary, Alberta - Canada. You are wonderful and your recipes are tasty and easy enough to follow. Thanks Refika!!
Love you. Love your ways .Love your team Living in Montreal Canada a multi cultural city where an effervescent mix of gastronomic experience is a live and well. Several decades ago I had the good fortune of discovering Lahmacun (here call Lahmajoun) from a small Lahmacun bakery using traditional wood oven .Where it contribute in opening my curiosity and appreciation of different foods cultures Fifty years later after having travel the world as a Tv Editor where I experience different gastronomic cultures I still remember that moment the tastes the discovery I've made while eating Lahmacun for the first time .Several months ago I discover you your channel your team with appreciation Guess what you have all that it takes to open the desire of discovering experimenting enjoying food at its best. I can only wish you the best and hope you enjoy every moment .Sincerely
Yagiz looks like a younger version of Seker Aga, the chef from Muhtesem Yuzil. Gotta love a man who makes good tomato sauce. Everything looks great, it must taste divine.
When travel restrictions are lifted, I'm coming to Turkey. Love from India 😘 I've always wanted to visit but now I want to go even more. Also, its always interesting to see the similarities of ingredients and flavors between Indian and Turkish food.
We made this today it turned out wonderful the taste is amazing! Thank you refika and Ramadan mubarak to you all. We visit turkey a lot can’t wait to go back after this virus has settled. Lots of love from England xx
I don't know why people are asking for vegeterian version of everything. Traditional food is traditional food, it is good just the way it is. There are millions of vegeterian meal recipes out there, why ruin the original?🙄
I saw this video many years ago. Didn't have access to ground lamb back then, but I found some at Aldi recently. Had to google "raw meat spread on flatbread" to find this, but we're back!! I'm making lahmacun this weekend, I can't wait.
Once again, my father comes to my mind. I have tried lahmacun recipes I've found on the internet and they were all missing something. I couldn't put my finger on it. You brought me back to my youth and my father making lahmacun and sitting eating and enjoying Turkish music and Raki. You always put that bit of love and just the right ingredients to authentic Turkish food. All my love and gratefulness.
You should add a warning here: After tasting this self made dish you will never ever again eat those factory made and heated up in micorwave thing in the snackbars again-
As a Turkish girl living in US, your videos allow me to share my culture with my foreign friends! So glad to see your videos in English now! Tesekkurler and keep the recipes coming :)
@@yuripuri639 doesnt matter ? Omani people dont eat the same way lebanese arabs do, now would you say that this makes for example hummus not a arabic dish ? That would be a ridiculous statement
@@mertroll1 Eating the same is one thing: not cooking it at all because it's not part of your cuisine is another. Turks only came into contact with most of the dishes they see as Turkish after they migrated westwards. They don't deny it so why are you? Turks proudly say it was through the Ottoman empire that much of the food they eat became part of their national cuisines.
@@yuripuri639 But thats plain WRONG, you tell that story like the turks werent the primary culture group of the ottoman empire. The ottoman empire were primarily turks, its state language was ottoman turkish, so what are you getting at Lahmacun was always part of turkish cuisine and your little rant wont change that fact, and if you want to get reaaaally technical, one could make the case that lahmacun wasnt even a arabic invention, rather an assyrian one. So i dont know what you are getting at, everything you said is wrong
@@mertroll1 I'm right. Your rant isn't even an argument against the facts stated by me. It's just demagogy. No Turk, not one, that's singular, individual, solo homo Sapien in central Asia. The proto-(real)-turk says lahmacun is a Turkish dish. Only the settlers in the western parts. So, please do yourself a favour, and get lost.
Superb. Lovely recipe u made dear friend. I enjoyed always n learn from u. Thank you so much for sharing. Watched n subscribed your channel friend. Stay connected new friend. Good wishes from Zoeya Kitchen
I married a Palestinian 25 years ago and my taste buds have never been happier! Lahmacun is fantastic and I totally agree, must be tried before you die. Love all your recipes, some of them make me think of my husband's Tata's food. Wish you well❤️
Thanks for sharing, adding onions and lemon and parsley is just like giving life to food which in Pakistan every moms favourite and we do love it.. i would definitely try this atleast😍
The Turkish govt should make you Minister of Tourism. The number of people, including myself, that want a seat at your dining table, if only 10% of your adoring subscribers, would be 37,100 tourists that came to Turkey specifically for you. If you don't already hold food tours of Turkey, perhaps you should consider? Bahar's off camera prompting for more information, if scripted or spontaneous is perfect, and your crew, fabulous celebration of life, I Loved the dancing in the intro to this video. Refika you are the Kitchen Queen! One word about your Epic Hammered Beef with Cheese video... when you Google 'Turkish Hammered Beef' +80% of the Google 1st page results = "Refika's Epic Hammered Beef with Cheese". .. ;-))

Love your new kitchen! Absolutely love your hairstyle! Girl!!! You need a show in 🇺🇸 America!
I finally made these today, and when my husband and I had the first bite, we both started dancing like in the beginning of the video
What a treat for an Indian who loves Turkish culture, language and food. (Being a vegetarian doesn’t stop me from watching your show). LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!
Me either. I’m predominantly vegetarian (I’m eat a bit of seafood) but she has PLENTY of great vegetarian options!

Hiii. I love your show. Im from Pakistan 🇵🇰 but living in Istanbul.. and this is one my favorite Turkish street food.
🇵🇰❤️❤️🇹🇷
I have never even heard of this until now, so I jumped up and started the dough! We will have this tonight!!!! I am so thankful I get to watch your videos. I would have never known how good Turkish food is. I love Turkish food!!!!!!!
It's as famous as Döner in Turkey as a fast food.
How popular? When i was serving in the Army, there was a soldier from the kitchen walking all base and selling Lahmacun on foot. 😊
thanks :D
I love go-getting dough makers! Idk why I get anxiety thinking about making dough. Its so weird. I just KNEAD to be like y'all and just do it!!!

Thank you for teaching me how to make Lahmacun, Refika! I am norwegian, not French, but I'd say you have accomplished your dream. Made these lahmacuns today for my family, and it reminded me of years ago when I visited Turkey. Again, thank you!
I feel so nervous and sad today. Watching your video makes me feel better. You have such beautiful energy and I feel it when watching the video. You have a beautiful soul dear Refika. 😘 Love from USA ❤️
Hope you are feeling better already!
@@mertunal2521 thank you for your kind reply. I’m praying for you and your country-men, country-women. Love ❤️ to you and Bahar and the rest of your team. Hope everyone in your family is safe. You are a beautiful soul, so sorry this happened to your beautiful country. Love and prayers for strength for all affected. And I know you have such a integral relationship to your land, so may Allah bless your land to. 🙏
So... I have wanted to try turkish Pizza since forever. I was discussing it in a forum unrelated to food, and learned Turkish Pizza is really called Lahmacun. Then the next day you dropped this video!
I have been subscribing here in Oregon for maybe 2 or 3 months.
This was the first meal of yours I have made. It was amazing. Thank you for showing this technique for making in my home! I even made my own dough! I could not get as thin as yours but was also my first attempt.
Cheers!
You Rock Dear🤟! I’m from Bulgaristan, and i used to have a turkish restaurant next to my work - they had a wood oven and baked lachmajun, pide and tava with minched beef. You inspires a lot, keep rocking. I’m watching you also on 24 kitchen. I was thinking that you have to put isot and you put in in the next moment! Just for an idea for future - kokoreci, tava djiger, ci kofte...
I'm so glad the youtube algorithm suggested you again, so I could refind this awesome channel ^_^
I wish to visit beautiful Turkey one day and live amongst the people who can teach me these great food and history. Türkiye büyük bir millet ve Güney Afrika tarafından çok saygı görüyor. Aşk ve barış. 🇿🇦
Hi Refika! Thank you for your amazing recipes. I'm Greek living in Scotland and love Turkish food since it's very close to greek food and it reminds me of home. The best lahmacun I had was in Berlin , where some Turkish grandmas were cooking it on some kind of spherical oven. I've never had a lahmacun in Turkey although I've been many times. I'll save it for next time I come :)
Hadi bakalım. Gece vakti düşürdün aklımıza lahmacunu. 😃 Yürüdük, 100 Gr verdik diye seviniyorduk. 😑
You are the type of person, to be the reason behind why an introvert teenager would love to attend family functions. Joyful, Caring, Loving, Enjoying. You are so sweet. Love from India......... And when you come to India, pleaase visit Kerala. Always WELCOME

I am very sure you are not. Great recipe nonetheless, liked & subscribed.
I’ve tried a few of your recipes , always good and fresh. I’m trying this one today. Fingers crossed
OMG I like everything in this video .. but the crunching sound of the crust is my favorite part. as always I keep falling in love with Turkish cuisine. 😍😍🤗🤗
I’ve so wanted to travel to Turkey when I retired which happened to be the very day the “lockdown” happened here so no travel for me at this point, but ... The positive note that’s come out of this is you! You post, I get a sudden craving for what you’ve made and run to the kitchen to replicate it. I just did a huge market haul and did not pick up lamb, but will definitely get some in the next few days so I can make this. I think it will become a regular in my house.
Omg I have to try this soon! I’ve never had any Turkish food, and these look amazing 💕 I’m so glad I found your channel! Lots of love from Montreal, Canada!

I love all the You Tube videos that I've seen. Please keep them coming. I'm watching you from Calgary, Alberta - Canada. You are wonderful and your recipes are tasty and easy enough to follow. Thanks Refika!!
My dream: To travel all around Turkey and try all the delicious food, meet all the warm-hearted people AND meet Refika and try all her good food😍😍😍😍

I strongly suggest to follow youtube channel British couple travel all around Turkey and did exatcly what you say 🥰 Mick and Trudie ❤️
@@bujkabujka9952 Thank you😊 Will definitely check them🙂
Love you. Love your ways .Love your team
Living in Montreal Canada a multi cultural city where an effervescent mix of gastronomic experience is a live and well. Several decades ago I had the good fortune of discovering Lahmacun (here call Lahmajoun) from a small Lahmacun bakery using traditional wood oven .Where it contribute in opening my curiosity and appreciation of different foods cultures Fifty years later after having travel the world as a Tv Editor where I experience different gastronomic cultures I still remember that moment the tastes the discovery I've made while eating Lahmacun for the first time .Several months ago I discover you your channel your team with appreciation Guess what you have all that it takes to open the desire of discovering experimenting enjoying food at its best. I can only wish you the best and hope you enjoy every moment .Sincerely
Yagiz looks like a younger version of Seker Aga, the chef from Muhtesem Yuzil. Gotta love a man who makes good tomato sauce. Everything looks great, it must taste divine.
Yes yes yes yes yes!!! Lahmacun and ayran are the food of my childhood (I'm Romanian). There is no good lahmacun on France. Thank you for the recepie!
When travel restrictions are lifted, I'm coming to Turkey. Love from India 😘 I've always wanted to visit but now I want to go even more.
Also, its always interesting to see the similarities of ingredients and flavors between Indian and Turkish food.
Love your Lahmajun...especially the tortilla idea, I was hoping you were going to show us alternatives....you did...you are great!!!!!!
Eating this right now in Belgium and purchased the Lamachun out of my favorite Turkish store today. This is soooo addictive!!
Been waiting for these! We used to eat them back in the refugee camp, my dad would travel to Istanbul just for these! They are delicious!
which refugee camp?
I grabbed this video in the air like a starving dog 😋
Love the comment 😘😘😘
@@Refika love you 🥰
Your smile, your positive energy, your pure talent...they are the best surprise I have received all year! Thank you.
Selamün aleyküm; LAHM = ET , ACUN ILICALI = SURVİVOR. Sevgilerimle.
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY , BEFORE YOU DİE. Seviliyorsunuz.
We made this today it turned out wonderful the taste is amazing! Thank you refika and Ramadan mubarak to you all. We visit turkey a lot can’t wait to go back after this virus has settled. Lots of love from England xx
Refika I really love you and your recipies I tried hummus and menemen turns out so delicious and also most welcome in india for you and your team😊😊
Ooo thank you Nasreen.. will come to india with my team then..
@@Refika ya ya sureee
Refika just trademark refikatrick it'll come in handy when you write a book!
Come over to India.
I'll give up my room for you! Lol
I don't know why people are asking for vegeterian version of everything. Traditional food is traditional food, it is good just the way it is. There are millions of vegeterian meal recipes out there, why ruin the original?🙄
I saw this video many years ago. Didn't have access to ground lamb back then, but I found some at Aldi recently. Had to google "raw meat spread on flatbread" to find this, but we're back!! I'm making lahmacun this weekend, I can't wait.
Oh my goodness... I made these and they were so good! Thank you for your recipe! 😍
Once again, my father comes to my mind. I have tried lahmacun recipes I've found on the internet and they were all missing something. I couldn't put my finger on it. You brought me back to my youth and my father making lahmacun and sitting eating and enjoying Turkish music and Raki. You always put that bit of love and just the right ingredients to authentic Turkish food. All my love and gratefulness.
Absolutely blown away by how charismatic Refika is. One of the foods I miss the most is Lahmacun. And now I can make my own! Best day ever!
Omy gosh, you are a revelation to find!! Thank you.
You should add a warning here: After tasting this self made dish you will never ever again eat those factory made and heated up in micorwave thing in the snackbars again-
Thank you for all your great recipes. My family loves Turkish food and you have made me a star cook. Lots of love from UK England
My favourite food! I was wondering when you'll make a video about it. Great content as usual. Love your videos!
As a Turkish girl living in US, your videos allow me to share my culture with my foreign friends! So glad to see your videos in English now! Tesekkurler and keep the recipes coming :)
I haven't seen any Turk in central Asia make lahmacun before. It's more of an Arab middle-eastern dish which Ottoman Turks came into contact with.
@@yuripuri639 doesnt matter ? Omani people dont eat the same way lebanese arabs do, now would you say that this makes for example hummus not a arabic dish ? That would be a ridiculous statement
@@mertroll1 Eating the same is one thing: not cooking it at all because it's not part of your cuisine is another. Turks only came into contact with most of the dishes they see as Turkish after they migrated westwards. They don't deny it so why are you? Turks proudly say it was through the Ottoman empire that much of the food they eat became part of their national cuisines.
@@yuripuri639 But thats plain WRONG, you tell that story like the turks werent the primary culture group of the ottoman empire. The ottoman empire were primarily turks, its state language was ottoman turkish, so what are you getting at Lahmacun was always part of turkish cuisine and your little rant wont change that fact, and if you want to get reaaaally technical, one could make the case that lahmacun wasnt even a arabic invention, rather an assyrian one.
So i dont know what you are getting at, everything you said is wrong
@@mertroll1 I'm right. Your rant isn't even an argument against the facts stated by me. It's just demagogy.
No Turk, not one, that's singular, individual, solo homo Sapien in central Asia. The proto-(real)-turk says lahmacun is a Turkish dish. Only the settlers in the western parts.
So, please do yourself a favour, and get lost.
Ne güzel yaaaaa I miss Türkiye so much!!
Superb. Lovely recipe u made dear friend. I enjoyed always n learn from u. Thank you so much for sharing. Watched n subscribed your channel friend. Stay connected new friend. Good wishes from Zoeya Kitchen
We had this last night at a restaurant called Istanbul - in Durban. It was amazing! Thank you!
Big like for you , especially after seeing the real Syrian flag
Thank you, much love
I married a Palestinian 25 years ago and my taste buds have never been happier! Lahmacun is fantastic and I totally agree, must be tried before you die.
Love all your recipes, some of them make me think of my husband's Tata's food. Wish you well❤️
Thanks for sharing, adding onions and lemon and parsley is just like giving life to food which in Pakistan every moms favourite and we do love it.. i would definitely try this atleast😍
The Turkish govt should make you Minister of Tourism. The number of people, including myself, that want a seat at your dining table, if only 10% of your adoring subscribers, would be 37,100 tourists that came to Turkey specifically for you.
If you don't already hold food tours of Turkey, perhaps you should consider?
Bahar's off camera prompting for more information, if scripted or spontaneous is perfect, and your crew, fabulous celebration of life, I Loved the dancing in the intro to this video. Refika you are the Kitchen Queen!
One word about your Epic Hammered Beef with Cheese video... when you Google 'Turkish Hammered Beef' +80% of the Google 1st page results = "Refika's Epic Hammered Beef with Cheese". .. ;-))
