This is easy to make yourself. Just put a bigger potato in oven later cut it and mix cheese and butter in. There you have the basic you can add all kinds of extras as you like
@@realMoMoPuFF DW Food's channel banner states: "The Taste of Europe". Istanbul barely fits in the definition of "Europe", as a part of East Thrace. I'm not sure if you people are from Turkey but you should be grateful they are covering the country in such positive light. And yet, here you are complaining...
huh thats funny. actually in 1987 a turkish guy who lived in britain bring that concept. he build an oven n first place. he was in between besiktas and ortaköy. and over a year he was famous but he stop working and other people begun to imitate his work
Bulgar is cracked wheat , mostly parboiled and dried - not rice . That man has the gift of the gab and is enticing his customers in with his spiel ; the first step in getting them in . Lots of colour and flavours on display to tickle the different parts of the palate.
it really isn't a "mexican salad". This vendor just called it that. We put whatever we like and I mean literally whatever. What he refers to probably is a mix of olives and beans and corns? There is also no "pesto". Just translated wrong. He said slightly spicy pepper paste
In here, tinned kidney beans are called "mexican beans" so as long as they're inside the salad, it's called mexican salad for us. Personally i use diced local sour pickles, corn, roasted red peppers and sometimes adding some fresh dill inside the mix and combine them with a basic vinaigrette that contains some dried spices like cumin, black pepper, mint or oregano, pul biber (aleppo pepper) for heat and/or sumac for tanginess.
@@cemdursun Next time you are here maybe you should read the post carefully before making a dumb response? Do you see where it says "STUFFED donut balls" ? Not round donuts. Now in RU-vid why not search out : Insider Food Lokma" and see for yourself.
In Rumelian dialects, and also in Albanian or Macedonian I guess, kumpir means potatoes. So it definitally came from Balkans. Balkan wars bringed a lot of refugees to Turkey, and especially Albanians had settled in cities and became dessert masters, they bringed a lot of different dessert recipees, opened creameries and ice cream Shops and Restaurants. Some sold their food as street vendors. So most likely kumpir had invented or introduced to Istanbul after Balkans wars by those refugees.
I haven't been in Istanbul for more then three decades. Back then, street food seemed to be only roasted corn and those restaurants with chafing dishes.
Kumpir is not a street food star in Turkey. It's very regional. Plus, considerable amount of Turks are not a fan of it. If you're looking for a real authentic Turkish street food star, then go film about Turkish kebabs, but I think you can't because you are delusional that German döner and Greek gyros are better than they are in Turkey.
Actually, döner was not a street food, I think it is still not a street food. I am 25 years old, and grown up in an Anatolian town. Before my high school years, döner was not even a fast food, we would go into a Restaurant and they would serve the döner on top of rice. It was not fast, and it was served in Restaurants, not Grab and go type of shops. Only in my high school years Iskenderun style döner shops started to be opened in my Town but I still don't call it a street food. Balık ekmek, corn, simit, they are street foods but döner, no. It is a fast food but not a street food I think
@@erenkur3832 I think doner sandwich and durum came after it was popular in Germany. In Turkey doner was seen as a classy dish, it was never cheap, and definitely not something you wrap with condiments.
@@utkua yes, indeed. In my City, however Iskenderun style döner Shops made it a popular fast food. It might have been inspired by German döner shops, however. In the City I have grown up, there were not many Restaurants and patisseries. There were just a couple of Restaurants that serving alcohol and seen as super fancy, people were taking their guests to those Restaurants, and there were Esnaf Lokantası, Restaurants of Shop keepers. Those Shop Keeper Restaurants were cheaper and they were serving döner, but they were definitaly not fast food. There were some Service, they would bring some salads etc before they bring the döner, or köfte or kebabs like adana kebap etc, and after eating they would offer some Coffee or tea and sometimes some dessert. In same time, around 2010's döner chains and hamburger shops like Burger King had came to my town. University was the main reason of those fast food shop's success. And döner became more popular since it was cheaper. But those cheap döner was different than the döner we knew, it is more like shawarma of arabs, made of chicken and has a lot of sauce. The New fast food like döner is called Iskenderun style döner and today even in Istanbul it became hard to find the original döner(of course it can be found but it is super expensive when compared to the Iskenderun style döner, because in traditional döner the meat must be in good quality). I think the arabian shawarma inspired the saucy Iskenderjn style döner, but German döner also could have inspired it. However, I have seen German döner in big cities, like the shops were selling Berlin style döner, in Turkey, and they were popular 😅 who knows, perhaps it even came to the town I have grown up oen day and became popular there😅
this is not copying? Turkey and its old versions were everywhere back then even africa, The original dish came from Yugoslavia when it was under the ottoman empire so this is not copying? The former Turkey-Ottoman Empire ruled many continents and countries so don't be surprised when there are similarities with foods
Its crazy annoying this place i been many times newr ortakoy besiktas 20 little stalls offering the same thing trying to hunt customers sooooo annoying
@@publicname Western noobs will always think Indian variety exit only on street and we have only Naan and butter chicken. There is more variety then your lifespan in each household
🤣Potateos came to Ottoman Empire’s West Harbours in 16’th century from overseas.Your argument is ridicilous.After 18th. Century Ottoman’s all Anatolia learnt to Potateos.
