Hallo! We filmed this video weeks ago, before the Turkey-Syria earthquake. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. 💕 If you enjoyed this video you may enjoy: $20 Food Challenge in Dortmund (ruclips.net/video/PtlxZeNpAmw/видео.html ) or Dutch Food Tour (ruclips.net/video/innguZTHGH4/видео.html )
What a decent comment and I bet you are both good people in real life. I was in Gelnhausen, 84-86 (probably before you two were born LOL). I grew up in VT and live in South America. If you ever get down this way, send me a message and thanks for your show.
When I see manti I am reminded of korean mandu dumpling. Both dumplings are pronounced in their respective languages very similarily. Which makes sense since the Turks came from central asia while the ancestors of Koreans came from either Manchuria or Mongolia(Both are near Central Asia). And both turks and koreans may shared a common ancestor a long time ago.
Did you know that we have a history of 40 thousand years that has been genetically proven and even documented by National Geographic? Turk; Did you know that this name belongs to our ancestor from whom we are descended, that we bear his name and that we name the place we live in after him? Did you know that we do not have an African gene in our DNA, that we are an Asian race, that we chose the God mountains in the central part of Asia as our homeland and that we spread all over the world from here? Did you know that's why they call us Central Asians? Did you know that the words Ural - Altai, central Asia and nation state mean nothing to us? Did you know that today most of Asia consists of afro-Asian people, the race and gene (R) defined as the Caucasian race belongs to us, and it has been proven that Koreans and Japanese are genetically Turk origin? If you have a white or red skin color, a brachycephalic skull structure, Y DNA R, R1a - R1b root genes, N(NO) - M haplo groups, did you know that you are of Turk origin? Did you know that red skin structure is related to red blood cells, not skin color? Did you know that this is due to the increase in red blood cells in the blood of people living at altitudes where the oxygen density is low so that their bodies can hold more oxygen? Did you know that approximately 70% of the world currently carries our genes? Did you know that this includes Native Amerikans, almost all of Europe, half of Asia, parts of the Middle East and parts of Africa? If not, now you know..!
@@onurcan8434 Did you know that all you are saying are crap? Are you a 16 years old Turkist who believe all world is Turkic?))) Bu zırvalıkları yazıp Türkleri ve Türklüğü küçük düşürmeyin. Türkler 1500 senedir çok etnik unsura sahip imparatorluklar kurdular. Genetik olarak kendini Türk zannediyorsan yazık. Hele hele Japonlara Korelilere siz de Türksünüz diyorsan yazık. Brakisefal kafatası zırvalığı 1930 larda kaldı. Etnik milliyetçiliği kültürel yapanlara saygı duyarım. Ama yalan yanlış bilimsel zırvalıklarka dünyanın %70 i Türk diyerek sadece kendini değil Türklüğü de aşağılıyorsun.
@@darkprofile the theory of an altaic language family is controversial in academic linguistics and has little evidence supporting it, don't treat it as a fact. Korean and Japanese are both language isolates. Also while shared vocabulary is common among related languages, it's not indicator for them. If that were true, by the same logic Japanese and Korean would be related to Chinese since they both derived 60% of their vocabulary from Chinese. But they are not related, you can imagine how weak of an argument, to support the theory of a linguistic relationship, the small shared Korean-Turkish vocabulary is then.
language - word etymology and alphabets are different things. race and tribe are confused with each other nowadays. The concept of the political nation-state is something that was born as a result of this. How the concept of race started in the world is not yet known by 99.9% of the world's humanity. That's why the African theory exists. Although the science of genetics, which started in the 1950s, refutes this theory, it is still very new and needs time to completely disprove this theory. this is a very deep topic. When you learn this, you also learn who you really are..! As I mentioned in my previous comment, there is no African gene in our DNA. If the African theory were correct, that is, if we were all dispersed around the world from Africa, we would all have the same genetic - phenotype and linguistic characteristics. But as you can see, our everything is different. We have different skin colors, different looks, different DNA, different skull structures, different languages. This leads us to the conclusion that the humanity of the world consists of people belonging to different races. And as it is true, the science of race is born at this point. The humanity of the world currently consists of 3 different races, tribes belonging to these 3 different races and Aryan tribes that emerged as a result of the mixing of these 3 races. Aryan means hybrid. they are defined as the yellow race, but they are not actually a race, but a tribe with different phenotypes! Now you will say, what does all this writing have to do with language - word etymology and alphabets? Each race has its own Y DNA, inherited skin color and skull structure, as well as its own language - words and an alphabet they use to write it! Let's start with Africa. Africans have Y DNA E, haplogroup G genetic traits. This is how we can tell if we have the African gene in our DNA! I repeat for the third time, we do not have the African gene in our DNA and we are an Asian race!!! The racial skin color of Africans is black. skull structures are dolichocephalic. The name of their language is the Hemitic - Hamitic language group. The suffixes meaning racially homeland, Land. Its alphabets are Sanskrit and the alphabet known as the Sanskrit alphabet. Kanji is also derived from this alphabet. Kanji is an alphabet that came to Japan and Korea from China. each language can only be written correctly with its own alphabet! The Japanese use an alphabet that is not suitable for their language. Therefore, they have found the solution by mixing 3 different kanjis in order to be able to write their own language correctly. As a result, thousands of letters or symbols emerged. Although the same problem exists in Koreans, it is not as great as in Japanese. In the 1960s, they changed the name of the hemitic language group to the Indo-European language group. and unfortunately you think that this is the name of your language and race..! Let's continue with the Middle East... Not only ours, but also middle eastern people do not have African genes in their DNA! Middle eastern Y DNA is J, main stem genes J1a and J1b. I can't clearly remember the haplo groups that belong to the root genes now. Therefore, I will not write this in order not to give you false information! Their racial skin color is dark brown. skull structures are mesocephalic. The name of their language is the Semitic language group. The suffixes meaning racially homeland, İstan. Aramaic - Hebrew - Arabic and Persian are in this language group. The name of their alphabet is also called the name of their language. They mingled and coexisted with Africans for thousands of years. The arrival of African and Middle Eastern races in Asia and Europe coincides with a time period between 10-15 thousand years ago, which is the end of the last ice age. The remains of a black woman with blue eyes dating back 10,000 years, found in present-day England, support this. There are no physical or archaeological remains of African or Middle Eastern people in Europe before this date..! and finally we, the Asian - Turk race... In my previous comment, I said that this name belongs to our ancestor, Turk, from whom we are descended, and that we bear his name. Asian - Turk race. The Ural - Altaic, Central Asian or Caucasian race names they gave us are void for us! Y DNA R. root gene is R1a and R1b. Haplo group N(NO) - M. The racial complexion is white. skull structure is brachycephalic. Turkish; there is no language or race in this spelling! The suffixes meaning racially homeland, ye - ya, iye - iya, ie - ia, e - a. Our language is the Turk language, which is the name of our ancestor. Turk language, grammar is completely different from the other 2 languages in terms of the difference between the complement and the phrase, and the word structure, which is defined as agglutinative! It is definitely not similar to the other 2 languages!!! therefore it is not readable by everyone and is known as a very difficult language to learn! There are 7 thousand Turk inscriptions that are 10-15 thousand years old all over Europe. 3400 of these are referred to as the Futhark inscription. the remaining 3600 inscriptions consist of Scandinavian - Viking and Etruscan inscriptions. The peoples of Europe today, unfortunately, cannot read the inscriptions and languages of their ancestors, because they now use the language of a race that does not belong to them, instead of their original language!!! The Turk race has used many alphabets throughout history. These are the Scandinavian alphabet known as the Runic script, the Etruscan alphabet known as the Latin alphabet, and the Göktürk alphabet. our alphabets and letters are definitely not like the alphabets and letters belonging to the other 2 races!!! and the community known as the Yellow race... It emerged as a result of the mixing of people belonging to the African - Middle East and Asian - Turk race thousands of years ago. their skin color is neither black, nor brown, nor white. yellow!!! The Indians in the word Indo-European are actually one of them! their phenotypes may resemble Africans, may resemble Middle Easterners, may resemble us! Regardless of their appearance, they may carry the African gene (E), they may also carry the Middle Eastern gene (J), they may also carry the Asian - Turk (R) gene! in the same way, they may be using the languages and alphabets of the 3 races..! The comment was very long, but I had to do this so that you can understand the situation correctly and have qualified information. All of this information I have given you is genetically, archaeologically and scientifically proven and is certainly not a theory or a claim!!! I hope that will be useful...
@@zeragingcookie That’s a regional Turkish dish that you might call: cigara büreki sleek cheese or spinach filled filo dough snacks. Thinner than regular büreki
@@Dutchbelg3 dw about it, I was just confused about what you meant. Fun fact it actually means cigarette böreği because it resembles a cigarette and it was one of my favourite snacks growing up
As a person who lived his entire life in Turkey until arriving Germany one year ago i can say the original versions of these dishes tastes totally different in Turkey. Some of them taste so different that i almost forget the original taste of the food. I think my experience is also related with getting used to foods in Turkey but in my perspective even tomatos and bread taste different than Turkey. I really suggest people who likes turkish dishes and living in Germany to visit Turkey for once. The Döner in Turkey is just something else compared to Germany's version.
In turkey, doner kebab and adana kebab are prepared with the fat of a special type of sheep: fat-tailed sheep. this type of sheep does not exist in germany and the addition to kebab is also not permitted in germany. I think thats why most meat dishes taste much better in turkey.
@@TheTolqa93 yeah the reason can be actually regulations because wherever i go meat of döner tastes the same but in Turkey almost every place has its own touch in the dish
Obviously tomatoes and bread taste different than turkey... tomato is a vegetable, bread is made out of wheat and turkey is a bird and meat... it tastes different out of every perspective not just yours^^
I don't know if it's available there but plant based Turkish foods are really amazing as well. These meat based ones are foods of eastern Turkey but the western side has amazing cuisine as well, usually it's less meat but after tasting them you don't really miss meat that much, eggplants, peas, artichokes, grape leaves, rice etc. it's all amazing. (it's called "zeytinyağlı" foods which essentially means they are made with olive oil, thus can be / and are eaten cold most of the time)
Oh man, I love Turkish food! Imam beyaldi is a favorite and Hunkar Beyendi (spelling?) which is lamb stew over eggplant béchamel sauce. My tour guide called it Turkish comfort food. There is so many fantastic food choices. This video makes me want to go back to Köln! You’ll love Turkey and it’s great cuisine. Everything is so fresh and delicious and Ayran that is freshly made is foamy goodness.
It was so great so see my old favorite Döner places in cologne! Thanks for that! I highly recommend the "çağ kebap" at Mangal (versus Doy Doy Palast in the Weidengasse) and try the fresh Ayran there not the canned crap, pls! Another great Turkish dish is "Beyti Kebap" (Beyti sarma). And last but not least the "Gemüse-Döner" (some friyed veggies along with the Döner meat inside a bread roll) from Mangal is worth a try! Cheers!
I live in Izmir Turkey but my home town is Kayseri city. Kayseri is the capital city of manti in Turkey. We have alots of manti variants but when you just say manti it is referred to Kayseri manti. And what you ate was traditional Kayseri manti. Also if you will find opportunity try another Kayseri dish called Şebit Yağlaması. It looks like italian lasanga but taste is beautiful and unique.
Ayran is essentially just yoghurt, water and salt. You can easily make it yourself. But maybe you actually don't want to. Try Uludağ Gazoz with your döner kebap. THEN you are in for a surprise! (Hint: it is super-sweet.)
Actually, these ayrans are not original. Normally, you cannot easily make original buttermilk at home. It is made as a result of mixing water and yoghurt with the correct ratio of original buttermilk for 30 - 60 minutes. At the end of this process, the fat in the yogurt is completely separated and accumulates on the top. yoghurt and water completely identify with each other, leaving behind the original ayran that is neither too liquid nor too solid. This is how natural butter is obtained. In the past, when there was no electricity, our mothers used to do this with muscle power in deep wooden bowls called churn. Later, with the advent of electricity, electrical versions were made and are still used in rural areas.Salt is often added to buttermilk or butter to increase its durability or to regulate blood pressure. When buttermilk is slightly sour, it gives a cola taste. Those who cannot drink factory buttermilk cannot drink that sour ayran at all. Those who are used to it cannot give up on it either...😃
Now way! Welcome to one of my favorite Döner places in Cologne!😍Good choice! Can you imagine how happy I was to finally find a Turkish Kebap place in Boston? Watching your video makes me want to go there right NOW! 🙂
Thank you very much for showing the delicious Turkish food in Cologne. I will definitly go there just for the food. I live 2 hours from there in the Netherlands👍😊
we usually add plain soda. If there is salt in the buttermilk, it will foam as a result. Lemon can also be added. but they are often used for blood pressure regulation, not flavor. that is the purpose...
Ayran is very easy to make at home, it is basically just joghurt with water and salt. When you make it yourself, you can take a bit less salt if you like. I usually make me some with lactose-free joghurt and i add a little tiny bit of cumin to it. Delicious! And it is good to recover from very spicy food... 🔥
If you like the taste, try adding cucumber(dice into cubes) into it too. Thats the basic version of cacık, and cucumber gives a fresh feeling, especially in the summer.
Eigentlich sind dies keine Original-Ayran, sie werden werkseitig hergestellt. Der ursprüngliche Ayran wird tatsächlich in Werkzeugen hergestellt, die aus Holz bestehen oder mit Elektrizität arbeiten, was wir Churn nennen. Nach 30-60-minütigem Mischen des Joghurts mit Wasserzugabe trennt sich das darin enthaltene Öl und sammelt sich oben an. Durch das Mischen dieses Öls mit kaltem Wasser durch wiederholtes Umdrehen erhält man eine völlig natürliche und gesunde Butter. Dies ist das gesündeste und natürlichste Öl. Das Wasser muss jedoch kontinuierlich gewechselt werden, und dieser Vorgang muss fortgesetzt werden, bis sich die Farbe des Wassers nicht ändert. Andernfalls schmeckt das Essen nicht gut, da es beim Schmelzen unerwünschte Gerüche erzeugt und den Geschmack der hinzugefügten Lebensmittel beeinträchtigt. Ayran, das im Gerät von seinem Öl getrennt wird, ist ein reines und ursprüngliches Ayran. Es ist weder fest noch sehr flüssig. Diese Situation hat natürlich auch etwas mit der dem Joghurt zugesetzten Wassermenge zu tun! Wenn dieser Ayran eine Weile draußen gelassen wird, wird sein Geschmack sauer. Auch die beste Cola kann mit ihrem Geschmack nicht mithalten. ganz natürlich - so entsteht gesundes und wohlschmeckendes Ayran. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass es die Hitze nicht wie kohlensäurehaltige Getränke beenden kann. Das ist eigentlich die Logik in cacık. Alles, was wir tun, hat einen Grund, und wir tun nichts für den Sport. Milchprodukte sind ein Lagerhaus für Kalzium. Türkisches Essen ist normalerweise reich an Öl und Tomatenmark. Fette sind wichtig, um den täglichen Energiebedarf zu decken, aber sie verursachen eine Gewichtszunahme. Die folgenden Situationen treten auf, wenn Mahlzeiten mit Joghurt gemischt oder mit Joghurt in einer Mahlzeit verzehrt werden. 1 - verhindert, dass das Fett den Appetit stillt. 2- Es ermöglicht dem Körper, diese Fette in kurzer Zeit zu verbrennen und in die notwendige Energie umzuwandeln. 3- verhindert Gewichtszunahme. 4- Es deckt den Kalziumbedarf für eine starke Skelett- und Muskelstruktur mehr als ab. Für ein gesundes Leben empfehle ich Ihnen, möglichst 3 Mahlzeiten türkisches Essen zu sich zu nehmen. Ich empfehle keine ungesunden Fertiggerichte und schnelle westliche Lebensmittel, die zu viel Salz enthalten und Cholesterin verursachen. Das ist deine Entscheidung...
Important is the yogurt which unfortunately the modern industrialiased in europe ones are not always good enough. It is even worse with white cheese. If you want you can make cacık with ayran also very good.
Turkish food is my 2nd favorite food ever! Indian is my 1st lol. I love stuffed zuchini in tomato sauce its got beef and rice inside. The stuffed cabbage rolls. The beef kofta with potatoes in tomato sauce (izmir kofte) and the chicken and potatoes also in tomato sauce lol Beef tips with baby okra (bamya) also in tomato sauce ... you know its a theme here (everything in tomato sauce ) When I lived in Oman there was a Turkish restaurant near my home and quite often my ex (at the time my husband) would bring me lunch from there as it was my favorite! They also had the best shwarma. I didnt like the other restaurants as much as that particular one. Also arayes (name of dish) is good its like pita/flat bread with minced meat cooked inside it with spices and herbs.
We visited Frankfurt a week ago, our first trip to Germany. A wonderful experience. My husband finished his turkish meal with an aryan. The food was incredible, but the drink made him nauseous, unfortunately. We discovered your channel while planning our trip and I've been a subscriber ever since. Thank you for your very interesting videos.
Thank you for another nice video. I don't think I ever had Turkish food before and will look for Turkish restaurants locally here. 🙏 for the people of Turkey & Syria affected by the earthquake, the rescue workers can reach those trapped, the injured healed, peace and hope.
omg this all looks so awesome.. I wish my small town would have a nice turkish restaurant.. we have like 5 döner shops here but they only sell döner, pizza and pasta xD why no turkish dishes? the manti looked so amazing I wanna try it. Gotta go to a big city I guess ^^
Thanks for the video! Turkish cuisine is extremely rich, from all kinds of kebabs and meat dishes to the huge variety of lighter vegetable dishes that vegetarians would go crazy for, the countless types of mezes (appetizers) that you can enjoy with alcohol (mostly for raki), not to mention all the mind blowing desserts.. All with the view of gorgeous Istanbul and Bosphorus.. hope to see you visit and enjoy Turkey as well. Can't wait for your videos.
you should make a part two and order a Turkish red lentil Soup(mercimek Corbasi) its the best Lentil Soup i ever tried and i say that as a german and try Fasulye Pilaki(thick beans in tomatosauce)and when you both brave enough try Paca Corbasi(Sheepshead Soup) and Iskembe Corbasi(Pansensuppe)
Its real name is kelle - Paça soup. Kelle= head meat. Paça= trotter meat. If you drink it by adding lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and spices to the drink, it makes the metabolism strong and solid like a door. it protects the body against diseases, viruses and colds and recovers from them. If you had known this earlier, the virus would not have taken so many lives...
Yogurt, Bread and Tea. These three are the stables of our cousine. And Ayran is actually watered sour (sometimes not) yoghurt with salt. It goes great with any type of kabap (if it is not served with yoghurt already). But if you want to go crazy, you can also drink it while eating baklava. That is a taste bomb, with sweetness of the baklava, the sourness and saltines of the ayran. Just saying that don't give up on Ayran :)
Just a little heads up, if you put hashtags in your description of what is in your videos you might get more views and more subscribers 😉 that's what I saw another Japanese RUclips food channel do and their amount of subscribers jumped in a few months went up to post 500K.
Ayran is comparable to Indian Raita. Commonly served with heating foods/hot dishes to balance out the food energetics. Both Ayran and Raita are cooling in their energetics. Both drinks also supply the body with good amounts of electrolytes and fluids.
@@DeanaandPhil Certain Ayran brands also come in Mango and Cherry flavors which are sweet, not salty. Really like those along with a spicey Döner Kebap. The Mango one reminds me of Mango Lassi from an Indian restaurant.
And Mandoo in South Korea is just their version of a dumpling. All of these versions of dumplings have various shapes and sizes as well as seasonings, but the concept is the same. Meat and/or vegetables inside a dough that's boiled, baked, or fried, in a sauce or simple eaten without.
I went to a Turkish cafe in Neu Köln in Berlin a few years ago and had a really good Revani Semolina cake in Turkish style. But the piece was so big, I definitely needed a second person! I couldn't finish it.
@@vivianeassi594 So is knafeh , A Lebanese Social media friend suggested I try it It was nice and makes a good dessert Although I had an Arabic coffee with it and the saffron/ cardamom thing takes some getting used to
The correct spelling is Bulgur. Its origin seems to be Semitic Persian, but I think it is a word that has passed into Persian from Turkish. and again likewise, I think it means Bulgar - Bulgarian food. and we are used to people who think and claim that the things that belong to us actually belong to them...
You need to try the Jordanian/lebanese/Palestinian knafeh/kunafa. There are two main types that are different from this. Very cheesy and sweet. One can be almost matted and compact at the top and the other one is a bit “hairier”. They’re usually the color orange. It’s my absolute favorite version of knafeh. Turkish is not as intense or cheesy to me but may be better for people thst want something a bit lighter. Another thing I love is Atayef (usually around Ramadan/Eid). It can be stuffed with the same knafeh cheese or baklava nut type mix and soaked in simple syrup like knafeh. It’s either fried or baked in the oven. So many more middle eastern desserts and food that I love. You typically won’t find it unless you’re in a dense middle eastern town or as a traditional home cooked meal (my Palestinian family does it the best in my opinion). Northern NJ is great for their middle eastern dishes. Also, shawarma is the best in NJ too. They make it the most authentic to the Jordanian/Palestinian kind. I’ve had versions in Saudi and Dubai and they were nothing like a shawarma. So weird how it’s in the Middle East but NJ can do it better. Nj shawarmas are closest to doner Kebobs but I think I like the German doner better (depends on my mood).
the stringyness in the Künefe dish comes from Mozzarella cheese. Everyone says it's delicious and I would really like to try it although I'm a bit afraid of the concept of sweet cheese.
Sie haben wirklich Glück, dass so viele Türken in Ihrem Land leben. Sie können unsere köstlichen Mahlzeiten genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Guten Appetit...
Search the 58-page book, Viking - Herwarar legend and Scandinavian inscriptions written by Sven Lagerbring, the first history professor of Sweden, known as Scandinavia, in the 1700s, and you will immediately understand why. Greetings from Turkiye, which means Turk homeland...
I never understood the concept of Ayran. It's far too salty to enjoy for my taste and shouldn't it actually be like this that when you ate something salty the drink should soothe it ? I feel like that Ayran is the complete opposite of this idea. After I drank it I actually feel thirsty because of the salt. And thanks for recommending Manti, I didn't know it before but it looks and sounds like this will actually be completely up my alley.
Someone mentioned that it's nice to pair ayran with a spicy dish. Maybe that's a good combo to help with the heat? Hope you get the chance to try some good manti sometime!
@@DeanaandPhil I can see that. But since I don't eat that much spicy food anymore (it's not that I don't want to, but my stomach rebels and I'm getting tummy pains from it) I guess I can put that aside for me. Yeah, I'll certainly watch out more for it in the future. You're right, I also feel ashamed that I'm living here in Germany with all those people with migration background and I still have tried far too little of their delicious foods. One other thing: your video contains a small, but funny typo. When you talk about Ayran the text says "Aryan" instead. In German we would call that a "Freudsche Fehlleistung", right 😄?
Certain Ayran brands also come in Mango and Cherry flavors which are sweet, not salty. Really like those along with a spicey Döner Kebap. The Mango one reminds me of Mango Lassi from an Indian restaurant.
Türkiyede 81 il vardir ve hepsinin kendine öz yemekleri vardir.lezzetin doruguna cikmak icin mutlaka türkiyede batidan doguya kadar gezilmesi sart.almanyadada cok guzel yemek yapan ustalarimiz var ama lezzetin merkezi türkiyedir- There are 81 provinces in Turkey and they all have their own dishes. To reach the peak of the taste, it is necessary to travel from the west to the east in Turkey. We have masters who cook very well in Germany, but the center of the taste is Turkey.
Bulgur is the turkish version of german Graupen ... it is made from wheat. Also, you need to drin Ayran in summer when its hot ... completely different experience i can assure you.
Sütliaş is standard Turkish dessert always present when having dinner guests together with aşlama (yagmazlik) that many do not know what it is. Türk, western Balkan.
I just moved to Neuss, I think there are more Turkish people here than Germans, but I also live next to the best Doner's around. Also if you've never had a Turkish haircut, that's an experience. How different can a haircut be, I asked? The man light a torch on fire and burned the hair off of my ears.

Now, here is the perfect video idea with lots of cross interest: Get yourself a good Turkish Cookbook without pictures and not only cook the recipes but invite some Turkish people to try your food and guess what it is. Great for socializing.
Thanks for the recommendatons and the warning about the salt yogurt drink. My husband is at a conference in DUS today and I'm sad I didn't go with him so I could try some of the places you showed us. But it sounded too lonely to go to restaurants by myself so I stayed home. (See how Germany changed me - in America I ate at restaurants alone every day.) I used to work in Ehrenfeld and that place is prepping to go wild in a few days. There is supposedly an Ethiopian restaurant in Koeln, I'm hoping to go there cuz I miss Ethiopian and you can't get it in Bergischem.
Wir trinken den Ayran war zusammen mit dem Döner den wir gerade essen und das passt 😉 ebenso finde ich ist das ein hervorragendes erfrischungsgetränk im Sommer.
Ayran is a yogurt-based drink, not milk. It's very common in West Asia and similar drinks on the Indian subcontinent (Lassi). In the Anatolian province where I'm from we have ayran with fresh chillies.
Nice to see that you liked all Turkish food you tried. You may drink ayran with food , freshness will be great . I prefer ayran without salt at home. Just mix very well some Turkish yogurt with cold water . Turkish cuisine is very diverse and delicious. Caters to every taste ...
I want to say about ayran as a Turk almost all foregners fall this mistake. You shouldn't drink ayran like other drinks. You should drink it always with a food like döner or simit. You should take a bite from food and then take a sip from ayran . Food and ayran gonna mix in your mouth . This is how you should drink Ayran. Try this way you are gonna like it. love from Turkey
i would like to boldly asume that turkish food in germany is only second to turkish food in turkey. Never had anything close to what we get in germany in other countries

When I see manti I am reminded of korean mandu dumpling. Both dumplings are pronounced in their respective languages very similarily. Which makes sense since the Turks came from central asia while the ancestors of Koreans came from either Manchuria or Mongolia(Both are near Central Asia). And both turks and koreans may shared a common ancestor a long time ago.
Yeah Turkish it self is also an asian (altaic) language. And there are some common words in korean-turkish and japan-turkish.

Did you know that's why they call us Central Asians? Did you know that the words Ural - Altai, central Asia and nation state mean nothing to us? Did you know that today most of Asia consists of afro-Asian people, the race and gene (R) defined as the Caucasian race belongs to us, and it has been proven that Koreans and Japanese are genetically Turk origin? If you have a white or red skin color, a brachycephalic skull structure, Y DNA R, R1a - R1b root genes, N(NO) - M haplo groups, did you know that you are of Turk origin? Did you know that red skin structure is related to red blood cells, not skin color? Did you know that this is due to the increase in red blood cells in the blood of people living at altitudes where the oxygen density is low so that their bodies can hold more oxygen? Did you know that approximately 70% of the world currently carries our genes? Did you know that this includes Native Amerikans, almost all of Europe, half of Asia, parts of the Middle East and parts of Africa? If not, now you know..!

language - word etymology and alphabets are different things. race and tribe are confused with each other nowadays. The concept of the political nation-state is something that was born as a result of this.
How the concept of race started in the world is not yet known by 99.9% of the world's humanity. That's why the African theory exists. Although the science of genetics, which started in the 1950s, refutes this theory, it is still very new and needs time to completely disprove this theory. this is a very deep topic. When you learn this, you also learn who you really are..!
As I mentioned in my previous comment, there is no African gene in our DNA. If the African theory were correct, that is, if we were all dispersed around the world from Africa, we would all have the same genetic - phenotype and linguistic characteristics. But as you can see, our everything is different. We have different skin colors, different looks, different DNA, different skull structures, different languages. This leads us to the conclusion that the humanity of the world consists of people belonging to different races. And as it is true, the science of race is born at this point.
The humanity of the world currently consists of 3 different races, tribes belonging to these 3 different races and Aryan tribes that emerged as a result of the mixing of these 3 races. Aryan means hybrid. they are defined as the yellow race, but they are not actually a race, but a tribe with different phenotypes! Now you will say, what does all this writing have to do with language - word etymology and alphabets? Each race has its own Y DNA, inherited skin color and skull structure, as well as its own language - words and an alphabet they use to write it!
Let's start with Africa. Africans have Y DNA E, haplogroup G genetic traits. This is how we can tell if we have the African gene in our DNA! I repeat for the third time, we do not have the African gene in our DNA and we are an Asian race!!! The racial skin color of Africans is black. skull structures are dolichocephalic. The name of their language is the Hemitic - Hamitic language group. The suffixes meaning racially homeland, Land. Its alphabets are Sanskrit and the alphabet known as the Sanskrit alphabet. Kanji is also derived from this alphabet. Kanji is an alphabet that came to Japan and Korea from China. each language can only be written correctly with its own alphabet! The Japanese use an alphabet that is not suitable for their language. Therefore, they have found the solution by mixing 3 different kanjis in order to be able to write their own language correctly. As a result, thousands of letters or symbols emerged. Although the same problem exists in Koreans, it is not as great as in Japanese. In the 1960s, they changed the name of the hemitic language group to the Indo-European language group. and unfortunately you think that this is the name of your language and race..!
Let's continue with the Middle East... Not only ours, but also middle eastern people do not have African genes in their DNA! Middle eastern Y DNA is J, main stem genes J1a and J1b. I can't clearly remember the haplo groups that belong to the root genes now. Therefore, I will not write this in order not to give you false information! Their racial skin color is dark brown. skull structures are mesocephalic. The name of their language is the Semitic language group. The suffixes meaning racially homeland, İstan. Aramaic - Hebrew - Arabic and Persian are in this language group. The name of their alphabet is also called the name of their language. They mingled and coexisted with Africans for thousands of years.
The arrival of African and Middle Eastern races in Asia and Europe coincides with a time period between 10-15 thousand years ago, which is the end of the last ice age. The remains of a black woman with blue eyes dating back 10,000 years, found in present-day England, support this. There are no physical or archaeological remains of African or Middle Eastern people in Europe before this date..!
and finally we, the Asian - Turk race... In my previous comment, I said that this name belongs to our ancestor, Turk, from whom we are descended, and that we bear his name. Asian - Turk race. The Ural - Altaic, Central Asian or Caucasian race names they gave us are void for us! Y DNA R. root gene is R1a and R1b. Haplo group N(NO) - M. The racial complexion is white. skull structure is brachycephalic. Turkish; there is no language or race in this spelling! The suffixes meaning racially homeland, ye - ya, iye - iya, ie - ia, e - a. Our language is the Turk language, which is the name of our ancestor. Turk language, grammar is completely different from the other 2 languages in terms of the difference between the complement and the phrase, and the word structure, which is defined as agglutinative! It is definitely not similar to the other 2 languages!!! therefore it is not readable by everyone and is known as a very difficult language to learn!
There are 7 thousand Turk inscriptions that are 10-15 thousand years old all over Europe. 3400 of these are referred to as the Futhark inscription. the remaining 3600 inscriptions consist of Scandinavian - Viking and Etruscan inscriptions. The peoples of Europe today, unfortunately, cannot read the inscriptions and languages of their ancestors, because they now use the language of a race that does not belong to them, instead of their original language!!!
The Turk race has used many alphabets throughout history. These are the Scandinavian alphabet known as the Runic script, the Etruscan alphabet known as the Latin alphabet, and the Göktürk alphabet. our alphabets and letters are definitely not like the alphabets and letters belonging to the other 2 races!!!
and the community known as the Yellow race... It emerged as a result of the mixing of people belonging to the African - Middle East and Asian - Turk race thousands of years ago. their skin color is neither black, nor brown, nor white. yellow!!! The Indians in the word Indo-European are actually one of them! their phenotypes may resemble Africans, may resemble Middle Easterners, may resemble us! Regardless of their appearance, they may carry the African gene (E), they may also carry the Middle Eastern gene (J), they may also carry the Asian - Turk (R) gene! in the same way, they may be using the languages and alphabets of the 3 races..!
The comment was very long, but I had to do this so that you can understand the situation correctly and have qualified information. All of this information I have given you is genetically, archaeologically and scientifically proven and is certainly not a theory or a claim!!! I hope that will be useful...
Turkish food is such a wide variety! Wonderful array of local specialties! Sigarli, Imam Bayildi , there is too much great food to list!
Whats sigarli?
@@zeragingcookie That’s a regional Turkish dish that you might call: cigara büreki sleek cheese or spinach filled filo dough snacks. Thinner than regular büreki
@@Dutchbelg3 I'm Turkish, you mean sigara böreği
@@zeragingcookie Absolutely. Foregive my ignorant comments. Still love Turkish food ;-)
@@Dutchbelg3 dw about it, I was just confused about what you meant. Fun fact it actually means cigarette böreği because it resembles a cigarette and it was one of my favourite snacks growing up
As a person who lived his entire life in Turkey until arriving Germany one year ago i can say the original versions of these dishes tastes totally different in Turkey. Some of them taste so different that i almost forget the original taste of the food. I think my experience is also related with getting used to foods in Turkey but in my perspective even tomatos and bread taste different than Turkey. I really suggest people who likes turkish dishes and living in Germany to visit Turkey for once. The Döner in Turkey is just something else compared to Germany's version.
In turkey, doner kebab and adana kebab are prepared with the fat of a special type of sheep: fat-tailed sheep. this type of sheep does not exist in germany and the addition to kebab is also not permitted in germany. I think thats why most meat dishes taste much better in turkey.
@@TheTolqa93 yeah the reason can be actually regulations because wherever i go meat of döner tastes the same but in Turkey almost every place has its own touch in the dish
isnt it that in addition that they usually wont add either vegetables nor sauce to it? so basically pide /w meat?
Obviously tomatoes and bread taste different than turkey... tomato is a vegetable, bread is made out of wheat and turkey is a bird and meat... it tastes different out of every perspective not just yours^^
@@marsocmaniac6806 no they do add vegetables such as pickles tomatos and onion, with sauce its rather rare
I don't know if it's available there but plant based Turkish foods are really amazing as well. These meat based ones are foods of eastern Turkey but the western side has amazing cuisine as well, usually it's less meat but after tasting them you don't really miss meat that much, eggplants, peas, artichokes, grape leaves, rice etc. it's all amazing. (it's called "zeytinyağlı" foods which essentially means they are made with olive oil, thus can be / and are eaten cold most of the time)
Oh man, I love Turkish food! Imam beyaldi is a favorite and Hunkar Beyendi (spelling?) which is lamb stew over eggplant béchamel sauce. My tour guide called it Turkish comfort food. There is so many fantastic food choices. This video makes me want to go back to Köln! You’ll love Turkey and it’s great cuisine. Everything is so fresh and delicious and Ayran that is freshly made is foamy goodness.
yep its hunkar begendi not beyendi but its my go to dish too
It was so great so see my old favorite Döner places in cologne! Thanks for that! I highly recommend the "çağ kebap" at Mangal (versus Doy Doy Palast in the Weidengasse) and try the fresh Ayran there not the canned crap, pls! Another great Turkish dish is "Beyti Kebap" (Beyti sarma). And last but not least the "Gemüse-Döner" (some friyed veggies along with the Döner meat inside a bread roll) from Mangal is worth a try! Cheers!
I live in Izmir Turkey but my home town is Kayseri city. Kayseri is the capital city of manti in Turkey. We have alots of manti variants but when you just say manti it is referred to Kayseri manti. And what you ate was traditional Kayseri manti. Also if you will find opportunity try another Kayseri dish called Şebit Yağlaması. It looks like italian lasanga but taste is beautiful and unique.
Kayseriyle uzaktan yakından alakamız yok ama evdeki herkes sevdiği için 2 3 ayda bir yeriz mükemmel bişey.
Danke Vielmals... for not having background music during speech ... and no crappy music - I'm happy and back !
PS: Go to Denmark for Rye Biscuits !
Ayran is essentially just yoghurt, water and salt. You can easily make it yourself. But maybe you actually don't want to.
Try Uludağ Gazoz with your döner kebap. THEN you are in for a surprise! (Hint: it is super-sweet.)
Uludağ Gazoz hahaha😆
Just to take things next level you should find a bottle of Niğde gazozu. If you like raspberry flavour.
Actually, these ayrans are not original. Normally, you cannot easily make original buttermilk at home. It is made as a result of mixing water and yoghurt with the correct ratio of original buttermilk for 30 - 60 minutes. At the end of this process, the fat in the yogurt is completely separated and accumulates on the top. yoghurt and water completely identify with each other, leaving behind the original ayran that is neither too liquid nor too solid. This is how natural butter is obtained. In the past, when there was no electricity, our mothers used to do this with muscle power in deep wooden bowls called churn. Later, with the advent of electricity, electrical versions were made and are still used in rural areas.Salt is often added to buttermilk or butter to increase its durability or to regulate blood pressure. When buttermilk is slightly sour, it gives a cola taste. Those who cannot drink factory buttermilk cannot drink that sour ayran at all. Those who are used to it cannot give up on it either...😃
Now way! Welcome to one of my favorite Döner places in Cologne!😍Good choice! Can you imagine how happy I was to finally find a Turkish Kebap place in Boston? Watching your video makes me want to go there right NOW! 🙂
Thank you very much for showing the delicious Turkish food in Cologne. I will definitly go there just for the food. I live 2 hours from there in the Netherlands👍😊
THIS FOOD LOOKS SOOO GOODD
Looks very delicious
The ayran I drank at a Turkish restaurant in Japan was really delicious.
He also squeezed lemon juice on the spot.
we usually add plain soda. If there is salt in the buttermilk, it will foam as a result. Lemon can also be added. but they are often used for blood pressure regulation, not flavor. that is the purpose...
Ayran is very easy to make at home, it is basically just joghurt with water and salt. When you make it yourself, you can take a bit less salt if you like. I usually make me some with lactose-free joghurt and i add a little tiny bit of cumin to it. Delicious! And it is good to recover from very spicy food... 🔥
If you like the taste, try adding cucumber(dice into cubes) into it too. Thats the basic version of cacık, and cucumber gives a fresh feeling, especially in the summer.
Eigentlich sind dies keine Original-Ayran, sie werden werkseitig hergestellt. Der ursprüngliche Ayran wird tatsächlich in Werkzeugen hergestellt, die aus Holz bestehen oder mit Elektrizität arbeiten, was wir Churn nennen. Nach 30-60-minütigem Mischen des Joghurts mit Wasserzugabe trennt sich das darin enthaltene Öl und sammelt sich oben an. Durch das Mischen dieses Öls mit kaltem Wasser durch wiederholtes Umdrehen erhält man eine völlig natürliche und gesunde Butter. Dies ist das gesündeste und natürlichste Öl. Das Wasser muss jedoch kontinuierlich gewechselt werden, und dieser Vorgang muss fortgesetzt werden, bis sich die Farbe des Wassers nicht ändert. Andernfalls schmeckt das Essen nicht gut, da es beim Schmelzen unerwünschte Gerüche erzeugt und den Geschmack der hinzugefügten Lebensmittel beeinträchtigt. Ayran, das im Gerät von seinem Öl getrennt wird, ist ein reines und ursprüngliches Ayran. Es ist weder fest noch sehr flüssig. Diese Situation hat natürlich auch etwas mit der dem Joghurt zugesetzten Wassermenge zu tun! Wenn dieser Ayran eine Weile draußen gelassen wird, wird sein Geschmack sauer. Auch die beste Cola kann mit ihrem Geschmack nicht mithalten. ganz natürlich - so entsteht gesundes und wohlschmeckendes Ayran. Der einzige Nachteil ist, dass es die Hitze nicht wie kohlensäurehaltige Getränke beenden kann. Das ist eigentlich die Logik in cacık. Alles, was wir tun, hat einen Grund, und wir tun nichts für den Sport. Milchprodukte sind ein Lagerhaus für Kalzium. Türkisches Essen ist normalerweise reich an Öl und Tomatenmark. Fette sind wichtig, um den täglichen Energiebedarf zu decken, aber sie verursachen eine Gewichtszunahme. Die folgenden Situationen treten auf, wenn Mahlzeiten mit Joghurt gemischt oder mit Joghurt in einer Mahlzeit verzehrt werden. 1 - verhindert, dass das Fett den Appetit stillt. 2- Es ermöglicht dem Körper, diese Fette in kurzer Zeit zu verbrennen und in die notwendige Energie umzuwandeln. 3- verhindert Gewichtszunahme. 4- Es deckt den Kalziumbedarf für eine starke Skelett- und Muskelstruktur mehr als ab. Für ein gesundes Leben empfehle ich Ihnen, möglichst 3 Mahlzeiten türkisches Essen zu sich zu nehmen. Ich empfehle keine ungesunden Fertiggerichte und schnelle westliche Lebensmittel, die zu viel Salz enthalten und Cholesterin verursachen. Das ist deine Entscheidung...
Important is the yogurt which unfortunately the modern industrialiased in europe ones are not always good enough. It is even worse with white cheese.
If you want you can make cacık with ayran also very good.
Turkish food is my 2nd favorite food ever! Indian is my 1st lol. I love stuffed zuchini in tomato sauce its got beef and rice inside. The stuffed cabbage rolls. The beef kofta with potatoes in tomato sauce (izmir kofte) and the chicken and potatoes also in tomato sauce lol Beef tips with baby okra (bamya) also in tomato sauce ... you know its a theme here (everything in tomato sauce ) When I lived in Oman there was a Turkish restaurant near my home and quite often my ex (at the time my husband) would bring me lunch from there as it was my favorite! They also had the best shwarma. I didnt like the other restaurants as much as that particular one. Also arayes (name of dish) is good its like pita/flat bread with minced meat cooked inside it with spices and herbs.
IKR. For me, Filipino, Turkish, and Indian food are my favorites!
We visited Frankfurt a week ago, our first trip to Germany. A wonderful experience. My husband finished his turkish meal with an aryan. The food was incredible, but the drink made him nauseous, unfortunately. We discovered your channel while planning our trip and I've been a subscriber ever since. Thank you for your very interesting videos.
Thank you for another nice video. I don't think I ever had Turkish food before and will look for Turkish restaurants locally here. 🙏 for the people of Turkey & Syria affected by the earthquake, the rescue workers can reach those trapped, the injured healed, peace and hope.
omg this all looks so awesome.. I wish my small town would have a nice turkish restaurant.. we have like 5 döner shops here but they only sell döner, pizza and pasta xD why no turkish dishes? the manti looked so amazing I wanna try it. Gotta go to a big city I guess ^^
Ayran find ich an warmen, heissen tagen oder wenn man scharf isst mega gut. Dazu noch eine Uludag!
Thanks for the video!
Turkish cuisine is extremely rich, from all kinds of kebabs and meat dishes to the huge variety of lighter vegetable dishes that vegetarians would go crazy for, the countless types of mezes (appetizers) that you can enjoy with alcohol (mostly for raki), not to mention all the mind blowing desserts.. All with the view of gorgeous Istanbul and Bosphorus.. hope to see you visit and enjoy Turkey as well. Can't wait for your videos.
My hometown and the best Turkish food! I miss it so much!
you should make a part two and order a Turkish red lentil Soup(mercimek Corbasi) its the best Lentil Soup i ever tried and i say that as a german and try Fasulye Pilaki(thick beans in tomatosauce)and when you both brave enough try Paca Corbasi(Sheepshead Soup) and Iskembe Corbasi(Pansensuppe)
Its real name is kelle - Paça soup. Kelle= head meat. Paça= trotter meat. If you drink it by adding lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and spices to the drink, it makes the metabolism strong and solid like a door. it protects the body against diseases, viruses and colds and recovers from them. If you had known this earlier, the virus would not have taken so many lives...
Yogurt, Bread and Tea. These three are the stables of our cousine. And Ayran is actually watered sour (sometimes not) yoghurt with salt. It goes great with any type of kabap (if it is not served with yoghurt already). But if you want to go crazy, you can also drink it while eating baklava. That is a taste bomb, with sweetness of the baklava, the sourness and saltines of the ayran. Just saying that don't give up on Ayran :)
Ayran is life saving on a hot day 🙂
There’s nothing that pairs as well with dessert pastries as a cup of plain black tea. So refreshing.
Tantuni is my favourites not to forget to have a dish of mantı...I miss Istanbul.
Just a little heads up, if you put hashtags in your description of what is in your videos you might get more views and more subscribers 😉 that's what I saw another Japanese RUclips food channel do and their amount of subscribers jumped in a few months went up to post 500K.
Knafeh comes with a traditional bread that makes it soo good
Ayran is comparable to Indian Raita. Commonly served with heating foods/hot dishes to balance out the food energetics. Both Ayran and Raita are cooling in their energetics. Both drinks also supply the body with good amounts of electrolytes and fluids.
Ayran is not the Indian Raina. Its Cacik (Yogurt and Cucumber Dip). The Indian Lassi is the alternative to Ayran
salt, plain soda or lemon, these are added to buttermilk to regulate blood pressure.
love the typo "Aryan" :D
turkish cuisine is sooo delicious!
You need to drink ayran while having a spicy kebab :) also it takes time to get used to it.
Ahhh that would probably be a better combo! We just need to find a REAL spicy one! We might have to go to Turkey for that!
@@DeanaandPhil and try a fresh made/ selfmade Ayran in a restaurant - it's so different!!
@@DeanaandPhil Certain Ayran brands also come in Mango and Cherry flavors which are sweet, not salty. Really like those along with a spicey Döner Kebap. The Mango one reminds me of Mango Lassi from an Indian restaurant.
yes the Spicier the food the better Ayran tastes
@@DeanaandPhil in some supermarkets you get Flavoured Ayran with Cherry or peach maybe its a good way to get more used to it
And Mandoo in South Korea is just their version of a dumpling. All of these versions of dumplings have various shapes and sizes as well as seasonings, but the concept is the same. Meat and/or vegetables inside a dough that's boiled, baked, or fried, in a sauce or simple eaten without.
I went to a Turkish cafe in Neu Köln in Berlin a few years ago and had a really good Revani Semolina cake in Turkish style. But the piece was so big, I definitely needed a second person! I couldn't finish it.
You guys rock, made me hungry as usual
It was nice to have u. Thanks for your nice words. Hope we’ll meet again at Lezizel👍🏼👍🏼
Bulgur is not rice. It's made by processing wheat grains. It is done parboiling and sun drying the wheat grains.
The deserts look very interesting! 👍🏻👍🏻
It was verrrryy delicious!
6:23 Bulgar is cooked wheat and is also used as an ingredient in Tabbouleh/tabouli.
Tabbouleh is very popular in Lebanon
@@vivianeassi594 So is knafeh , A Lebanese Social media friend suggested I try it
It was nice and makes a good dessert
Although I had an Arabic coffee with it and the saffron/ cardamom thing takes some getting used to
@@googlesmostwantedfrog147 Yes Knafeh comes from Lebanon
@@googlesmostwantedfrog147 :)
The correct spelling is Bulgur. Its origin seems to be Semitic Persian, but I think it is a word that has passed into Persian from Turkish. and again likewise, I think it means Bulgar - Bulgarian food. and we are used to people who think and claim that the things that belong to us actually belong to them...
You need to try the Jordanian/lebanese/Palestinian knafeh/kunafa. There are two main types that are different from this. Very cheesy and sweet. One can be almost matted and compact at the top and the other one is a bit “hairier”. They’re usually the color orange. It’s my absolute favorite version of knafeh. Turkish is not as intense or cheesy to me but may be better for people thst want something a bit lighter. Another thing I love is Atayef (usually around Ramadan/Eid). It can be stuffed with the same knafeh cheese or baklava nut type mix and soaked in simple syrup like knafeh. It’s either fried or baked in the oven. So many more middle eastern desserts and food that I love. You typically won’t find it unless you’re in a dense middle eastern town or as a traditional home cooked meal (my Palestinian family does it the best in my opinion). Northern NJ is great for their middle eastern dishes. Also, shawarma is the best in NJ too. They make it the most authentic to the Jordanian/Palestinian kind. I’ve had versions in Saudi and Dubai and they were nothing like a shawarma. So weird how it’s in the Middle East but NJ can do it better. Nj shawarmas are closest to doner Kebobs but I think I like the German doner better (depends on my mood).
the stringyness in the Künefe dish comes from Mozzarella cheese. Everyone says it's delicious and I would really like to try it although I'm a bit afraid of the concept of sweet cheese.
its delicious u should try it!!
its soooo good definitely try it!
I know there's different varieties of cheese used -- depends on the region -- including ones made from goat or sheeps milk
mate you should definetly try it,
yes, we have as many varieties of cheese as our meals.
eu amo as divisões que vocês fazem nos videos. fica muito organizado e bom de assistir
Guys love your reactions.. At 13:14 you discribed baklava some desert but it is not baklava.. It's burma kadayıf.. (wringed kadayıf)
The dish in 12:00 is also Kunafa, this is not baklava. Baklava is a very thin pastry (paper like)
Sie haben wirklich Glück, dass so viele Türken in Ihrem Land leben. Sie können unsere köstlichen Mahlzeiten genießen, wann immer Sie möchten. Guten Appetit...
I'm astonished how many norwegian dishes are simular to dishes in other contries😀 This times it's rømmrgrøt or riskrem🤩
Search the 58-page book, Viking - Herwarar legend and Scandinavian inscriptions written by Sven Lagerbring, the first history professor of Sweden, known as Scandinavia, in the 1700s, and you will immediately understand why. Greetings from Turkiye, which means Turk homeland...
Milkrise is “ sütlaç” which is a popular children food.
Bulgur is wheat
I never understood the concept of Ayran. It's far too salty to enjoy for my taste and shouldn't it actually be like this that when you ate something salty the drink should soothe it ? I feel like that Ayran is the complete opposite of this idea. After I drank it I actually feel thirsty because of the salt.
And thanks for recommending Manti, I didn't know it before but it looks and sounds like this will actually be completely up my alley.
Someone mentioned that it's nice to pair ayran with a spicy dish. Maybe that's a good combo to help with the heat? Hope you get the chance to try some good manti sometime!
I think it's really all about despicing your palate. Especially if you eat something very hot.
@@DeanaandPhil I can see that. But since I don't eat that much spicy food anymore (it's not that I don't want to, but my stomach rebels and I'm getting tummy pains from it) I guess I can put that aside for me.
Yeah, I'll certainly watch out more for it in the future. You're right, I also feel ashamed that I'm living here in Germany with all those people with migration background and I still have tried far too little of their delicious foods.
One other thing: your video contains a small, but funny typo. When you talk about Ayran the text says "Aryan" instead. In German we would call that a "Freudsche Fehlleistung", right 😄?
Ayran is best in summer. Cool and salty to replenish electrolites
Certain Ayran brands also come in Mango and Cherry flavors which are sweet, not salty. Really like those along with a spicey Döner Kebap. The Mango one reminds me of Mango Lassi from an Indian restaurant.
Lived turkey for four years and now in Germany. Miss all of those tastes. 😢
Türkiyede 81 il vardir ve hepsinin kendine öz yemekleri vardir.lezzetin doruguna cikmak icin mutlaka türkiyede batidan doguya kadar gezilmesi sart.almanyadada cok guzel yemek yapan ustalarimiz var ama lezzetin merkezi türkiyedir- There are 81 provinces in Turkey and they all have their own dishes. To reach the peak of the taste, it is necessary to travel from the west to the east in Turkey. We have masters who cook very well in Germany, but the center of the taste is Turkey.
Bulgur is the turkish version of german Graupen ... it is made from wheat. Also, you need to drin Ayran in summer when its hot ... completely different experience i can assure you.
Definitely some new ones for me!
I am going out to find Turkish food in my city right now. I wasn't even hungry but then I watched this video.
You gotta go to kebabland in köln ehrenfeld , its like an institution.Just a recommendation from a fellow düsseldorfer and a big fan
Ayran is the best drink ever. maybe becasue I grow up with ayran, but in usualy we drink ayran in hot summer days.
I want to taste all of it. I really enjoy your passion for exploring food.
Kenne euch mittlerweile schon echt lange und es freut mich sehr das ihr immer noch am Start seit! Weiter so !🫶🏽
Sütliaş is standard Turkish dessert always present when having dinner guests together with aşlama (yagmazlik) that many do not know what it is.
Türk, western Balkan.
we are driking ayran with dürüm or other food such as pide, lahmacun, kebap..
I just moved to Neuss, I think there are more Turkish people here than Germans, but I also live next to the best Doner's around. Also if you've never had a Turkish haircut, that's an experience. How different can a haircut be, I asked? The man light a torch on fire and burned the hair off of my ears.
"Mantı", not "manti". The dot-less "ı" in Turkish is a "schwa" sound, like the "e" in "Fladenbrot", but not like an "i" (with a dot).
yes, unfortunately, although there is the letter (I - ı) in the alphabet you use, you write it this way because it does not exist in your language...
Love about European /International Countries...Clean ,Natural Foods& Surroundings.Take-Outs- Aluminum Tops-Coverings.Beutiful Vid. Presentation goes along with Beutiful Couple.
Now, here is the perfect video idea with lots of cross interest: Get yourself a good Turkish Cookbook without pictures and not only cook the recipes but invite some Turkish people to try your food and guess what it is. Great for socializing.
Guys.. Love your reactions. Thank you for sharing this for us
AYRAN is just watered down yoghurt with a little salt added ..
The "lonely pickle" was my name in high school :D every german gets it hahahaha lool
The fact that you add the prices makes the video perfect.
Guys.. if you're in Cologne for Turkish food you have to go to Keupstraße. You'll see what I mean.
Very beautiful video ☺👍🌺
Danke!
Thank you & Danke! 😍
Your job isn’t work! It sounds like heaven. Thank you I’m a foodie too!
First dessert that you eat at Damla is not baklava, it is burma kadayıf 😊
Turkish Cuisine is the best in the world..🍲🥗☕🧿🇹🇷♥️
8:25 Yes. And when you eat something very spicy, it is very helpful to drink this.
Thanks for the recommendatons and the warning about the salt yogurt drink. My husband is at a conference in DUS today and I'm sad I didn't go with him so I could try some of the places you showed us. But it sounded too lonely to go to restaurants by myself so I stayed home. (See how Germany changed me - in America I ate at restaurants alone every day.) I used to work in Ehrenfeld and that place is prepping to go wild in a few days. There is supposedly an Ethiopian restaurant in Koeln, I'm hoping to go there cuz I miss Ethiopian and you can't get it in Bergischem.
We Turkish also love to drink pickle and beet juices
Great tourist-selfie, thanks!
Wir trinken den Ayran war zusammen mit dem Döner den wir gerade essen und das passt 😉 ebenso finde ich ist das ein hervorragendes erfrischungsgetränk im Sommer.
Ayran is a yogurt-based drink, not milk. It's very common in West Asia and similar drinks on the Indian subcontinent (Lassi). In the Anatolian province where I'm from we have ayran with fresh chillies.
you guys are so lovely. glad you enjoyed it
Nice to see that you liked all Turkish food you tried. You may drink ayran with food , freshness will be great . I prefer ayran without salt at home. Just mix very well some Turkish yogurt with cold water .
Turkish cuisine is very diverse and delicious. Caters to every taste ...
It's called Künefe btw :)
what a lovely couple and awsome video
I m Turkish American from Kentucky and be jealous when u guys eat them 😂
Pide in Türk western Balkan is something else a more developed dish that is everyday dish with many variants most of them with veggies.
dicker.. grad ma angefangen schon manti und sütlac.. ich beiß gleich in mein schreibtisch vor hunger
My God,,this looks so good!!
That looks like a Turkish burrito. I want some!!
ayran is not milk based is actually sour yoghurt with salt and water.
Turkish food is great and some dishes remind me of my hungarian cuisine, which doesn´t come as a surprise, because we share some centuries of history.
Ayran is great!
We usually drink Ayran with dürüm, kebap, çiğköfte etc., not lonely.
That pide looks so yummy
I love Ayran.
In terms of favourite Turkish dish, Köfte, Alder, fett krass mit Yoghurt.
Germano-English pronunciation of the food names sounds cute! 😁
The Kazakhs also have Manti - but their Mantis are really big
I saw Turkish food and I immediately subscribed.
😄✌🏽Knafeh is Palestinian from the town of Nablus, wich is very known for it's sweets like Katayef and so on👍🏽
Hello
When you go to turkey you should try the apple tea. Bit sweet but delicious. There's also different flavours but I loved the apple tea best. Xx
I want to say about ayran as a Turk almost all foregners fall this mistake. You shouldn't drink ayran like other drinks. You should drink it always with a food like döner or simit. You should take a bite from food and then take a sip from ayran . Food and ayran gonna mix in your mouth . This is how you should drink Ayran. Try this way you are gonna like it. love from Turkey
i would like to boldly asume that turkish food in germany is only second to turkish food in turkey. Never had anything close to what we get in germany in other countries
TRY iskender kebab!! ALSO tarhana çorbası
