One of the stars of Turkish street food is kumpir. A large, baked potato filled with all kinds of ingredients and topped with various sauces. Ortakoy in Istanbul is perhaps the best place to try this Turkish classic. It may not be quite as well-known as kebab, but it is at least as filling.

  1. 3:20 Since I’m Mexican I wonder what is a Mexican Salad in Türkiye? Since it’s one of the toppings that go into that dish.

  2. i microwave small potatos and smash them and mix with cheese and then add toppings as i like

  3. finally something interesting and not the same 10 recipes all from Western Europe as if nothing else existed in the world

  4. 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.
