Hi you two characters! I loved this video (and the 2 prior to this one) - the food looks amazing & I was drooling all the way through. It looks like a very interesting country & a feast for the senses. I hope Atlas didn't miss you too much 🥰
Thank you so much for the support! Food was amazing for sure! You can easily spend a week in the city alone exploring. Haha Atlas had fun with his babysitter back in Italy 😄 she always gives him extra snacks.
09:40 i guess it's "tahin pekmez", furthermore nothing on that table is random. You have to take little bites so it constantly refreshes your pallet and you can enjoy every bite. 11:00 that is not hellim, it's çeçil. 17:25 that's "bulgur pilavı" not rice. 24:55 coffees are legit but grand bazaar is a giant tourist trap. 3:25 that's hünkarbeğendi, lamb with mashed grilled aubergine sauce. 32:15 i think thats vegetarian version, because its banned to sell that on street. Those grains are bulgur.
Oh dear Vernon and Maryana, welcome to Turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷. I watched your video about Turkish food. Honestly, I really admired your taste. You interpreted many of our dishes correctly. Vernon didn't know the Sultan's delight dish very well but he liked its taste. The eggplant in the bottom plate is roasted and then turned into paste and flavored with spices. You also liked the olive varieties. We feed the olives with oil so that they don't dry out and remain delicious. We flavor them with thyme and red pepper flakes. I hope your next stop is our beautiful Izmir. You can see the ruins of the ancient Greek Hellenistic age there too. You will experience a feast of flavors again and you can choose local wine producers. Have a good day, stay healthy and well.💖😇🙏
Thank for the wonderful video. As a Turk i would advise you guys to find some local person and go to more local places. Prices will go down and experience will definitely go up. Over all great video.
We definitely will be coming back in the warmer months in 2025. In our three days so far we had a wonderful experience so I can’t even imagine it getting even better 😄
you eating is sarma not dolma. Sarma is rulling dolma is fylning. Kan eat aubergine , paprika dolma. 🙂 You drinking ayran. (mixing yogur water en little salt. Brobiotik bakterier made is sour. Best is with meat end ayran.
Evlerimizde yaptigimiz yemekler o restoranlarin yemeklerinden daha guzeldir.Ustelik her aksam taze yemekler pisirir yeriz.Yani turk mutfagi ,restoran yemekleriyle kiyaslanamaz....
Denediginiz yemekler ulkemizdeki diger lezzetli yemeklerin bin,de bir,i dahi değil. Türkiye,de her il,in şehir,in kendine özgü yemek ,kebap, içecek,leri vardır. Yanliz dikkatli olun. Tüm Türkiye,yi gezerseniz bir daha başka yerde yemek yiyemezsiniz:))
The ‘meat’ wrap you had is actually a vegetarian wrap. It is called çiğ köfte (raw burger), but for the sake of public safety, selling raw meat was banned in Turkiye. So, the substitute you get nowadays is made with bulgur and Turkish spices. But, of course, I do not know all the paces in Istanbul. Maybe they still serve the traditional stuff, but I would be surprised if they did. Many thanks, by the way, for this wonderful video.
I was surprised by the authenticity of this woman's taste. I didn't know she had done my research beforehand. In Turkey, drinks are probiotic, ayran, boza, turnip juice, pickle juice, kefir.. it seems strange when you first drink it but it is very healthy. She didn't say ayran to cut the oily effect, it shocked me. But it wasn't a full street food tour.. They haven't tried many things like fish wrap, mussels, kunefe, tantuni, börek, gözleme, kumpir, döner, iskender, pide, lahmacun, raki, mezes etc.. until next time.
Great analysis, thank you! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
Hi Vermon and Varyana, i am so pleased to whatch your video about Istanbul and Turkiye but i really wanted to make some comment about the things you lived on your trip. You have made many assumtions about the food you ate, yet most of them were accutaly wrong :D For example; Turkish people like to eat their food hot and with bread, for that reason, when we take bite of hot meat, rice and bread and chew it, we take a sip ayran to cool it down and make it easier to swallow ;) Sultan’s Delicacy is not the real name of the dish; it is Hünkar Beğendi, which means The Sultan Liked It :D and it is not a simple dish, in the contrary, it is the hardest dish a chef can ever to cook :D Because you have to master yourself in making Bechamel souce and create the best consistency with the eggplat paste with it. Plus you have to good at, making the beef dish, that comes on top of it. The Bagel you ate in the Street is a different type af simit we eat, than the bagel you ate in the restaurant. We acctualy have 4-5 types of bagel; the one you had in the Street is the original one which hard to chew, then we have one with milk, the one you had in the restaurant, which is soft. We have “gevrek” which is made in İzmir; another bagel which is more harder to chew, because it is mor tender, then we have açma that looks like bagel but it is much softer :D We Türkish people love food made of dough, for hat reason, we have tons of different dough food which looks the same but taste totally different :D The beer you drank was Efes Pilsen; Pilsener is almost the only type of beer Turkish people drink, we don’t have Ale or Larger in Turkey and Efes is the most popular brand we have in Turkiye… The thing you ate at 2:00 is called “Parmak Kızartması” which means “Fried Finger” and it is a rool of curd, thats means it does not have real cheese in it, instead we have salty curd. We have two different types of curd in Turkiye, the sweet curd and salty curd and they are used in baking pastry. The dish you ate at 2:20 is called “Yaprak Sarması” “Wraped Leaf” in English, we have many different types of “Dolma”, dolma means filling, we have “pepper filling”, we have “eggplant filling”, "cabbage filling", “tomatoes filling”, we have “zucchini filling” we even have “intestine filling”, “abomasum filling” and all of them taste great, one day you must try them all. We eat most of these food with yoğurt because it gives a greater taste to them. The bread you ate at 2:59 is actually baked at that moment for you ad it is free, with many things they brought to your table. It is a tredition in Turkiye to bring extra stuff for free. But i have bad news for you, the olive oil you have tasted at 3:24 is not “olive oil” :D Olive oil is very expensive in Turkiye, altough, we are the 4th olive oil producer, it is almost impossible to find real olive oil in the Turkish restaurants, it is most probably “sunflower oil” thats why the season them, so that you think it is olive oil :D Let’s come to the kebaps; the kebap you have tasted at 4:22 might not be a real lamb kebap :D Food fraud is so common in Turkiye and instead of using real lamb meat, they use chicken meat and add food colouring to turn it into red meat :D because it is sooooo expensive at the moment. The thing you tasted at 9:38 is called “tahin pekmez” which is “tahini and grape molasses”. The dish you ate at 10:29 is called “Su Böreği” which is boiled dough, filled with curd or white cheese and it is a real tasty börek. If it did not have enough cheese in it, it means that it is scam too. And you don’t eat that börek with honey or jam :D It has to have a lot of flavour on its own :D The fish you ate at 18:26 is called “Palamut” “Bonito Fish”, it is a very fatty fish with a great flavour and we love it so much that, we fry it, bake it and every thing. The thing you ate at 33:03 is called “Çiğ Köfte”, “Raw Meatball” which is forbidden by Turkish government to be produced with raw meat, so now we produce it with wheat and the grains you show is chunks of weat :D I am so happy to meet with you guys but i have to tell you this; if you visit a country like Turkiye, you have to visit it with a guide, who knows the place well and who knows the real restaurants which cook the real stuff, so that you wont be scamed.
The second last lamb stew the sauce was made with eggplant and the last one the raw meat is actually not raw meat anymore but they use mostly bulgur instead of the meat these days.
Bagels originated in 17th-century Poland within Jewish communities and became a global favorite after being brought to North America by Jewish immigrants.

There is never rice pilaf in the original kebab plate, this was invented later. If Adana kebab is served rice with ,they will throw the plate at the man's head in south of Türkiye ...
Merhaba. Güzel bir video olmuş teşekkürler. Bir bilgilendirme yapmak isterim tarçın şekerin olumsuz etkilerini dengeleyen ve midenizi rahatlatan bir baharattır . Tatlıların yanında bol bol servis edilir.
Hi Maryana & Vernon, I was in Istanbul for the first time in the middle of October and loved all the Turkish food I tried… I ate street food & yummy restaurants!!! I do have to say that I’ve had Turkish food in the LA area and their food is amazing like in Istanbul 🇹🇷😋😜
Siz ikiniz hiç yemekten anlamıyorsunuz menemen sıcak yenilir iki saat konuştuktan sonra değil kebab da aynı sıcak yenilir çoğu yemekler sıcaken yeniliyor siz ikiniz yarım saat konuşup öyle uiyorsunuz Ozaman tadının yarısı gidiyor
böyle söylemek hiç kibarca değil. yemekten anlamıyorsunuz diye de cümleye başlanmaz. böyle yerseniz tadını alamazsınız, beklemeden yerseniz daha iyi olur diye söyleyebilirsin.
What is your favorite Turkish food?
Gözleme, Kofte & Dürüm Döner 😋
iskender, künefe,midye dolma, lahmacun, pide, gözleme,....
@@maribrambila5037 very delicious selection 😊

Lots of love from Florida. I've missed my home, Turkey so much. Thank you
Thank you for watching! Hope you get to visit home soon! It's a wonderful country!
Aydan is a yoghurt drink. It’s basically watered down yoghurt with salt. Yes, it’s best with meat dishes like kebabs, Doner etc.

Türkiye ye hoşgeldiniz 😊🇹🇷👋
Welcome to Turkiye ❤
Hi Vermon and Varyana, i am so pleased to whatch your video about Istanbul and Turkiye but i really wanted to make some comment about the things you lived on your trip.
You have made many assumtions about the food you ate, yet most of them were accutaly wrong :D For example; Turkish people like to eat their food hot and with bread, for that reason, when we take bite of hot meat, rice and bread and chew it, we take a sip ayran to cool it down and make it easier to swallow ;)
Sultan’s Delicacy is not the real name of the dish; it is Hünkar Beğendi, which means The Sultan Liked It :D and it is not a simple dish, in the contrary, it is the hardest dish a chef can ever to cook :D Because you have to master yourself in making Bechamel souce and create the best consistency with the eggplat paste with it. Plus you have to good at, making the beef dish, that comes on top of it.
The Bagel you ate in the Street is a different type af simit we eat, than the bagel you ate in the restaurant. We acctualy have 4-5 types of bagel; the one you had in the Street is the original one which hard to chew, then we have one with milk, the one you had in the restaurant, which is soft.
We have “gevrek” which is made in İzmir; another bagel which is more harder to chew, because it is mor tender, then we have açma that looks like bagel but it is much softer :D We Türkish people love food made of dough, for hat reason, we have tons of different dough food which looks the same but taste totally different :D
The beer you drank was Efes Pilsen; Pilsener is almost the only type of beer Turkish people drink, we don’t have Ale or Larger in Turkey and Efes is the most popular brand we have in Turkiye…
The thing you ate at 2:00 is called “Parmak Kızartması” which means “Fried Finger” and it is a rool of curd, thats means it does not have real cheese in it, instead we have salty curd. We have two different types of curd in Turkiye, the sweet curd and salty curd and they are used in baking pastry.
The dish you ate at 2:20 is called “Yaprak Sarması” “Wraped Leaf” in English, we have many different types of “Dolma”, dolma means filling, we have “pepper filling”, we have “eggplant filling”, "cabbage filling", “tomatoes filling”, we have “zucchini filling” we even have “intestine filling”, “abomasum filling” and all of them taste great, one day you must try them all.

Let’s come to the kebaps; the kebap you have tasted at 4:22 might not be a real lamb kebap :D Food fraud is so common in Turkiye and instead of using real lamb meat, they use chicken meat and add food colouring to turn it into red meat :D because it is sooooo expensive at the moment.
The thing you tasted at 9:38 is called “tahin pekmez” which is “tahini and grape molasses”.
