During cheap holidays to Turkey, hundreds of thousands of Britons have experienced pristine beaches, crystal clear Mediterranean waters, sensational nightlife, spectacular landmarks and eclectic natural landscapes. But another reason to get excited about Turkey has to be the food.
Turkey’s culinary palette is diverse and delicious and while most Turkey holiday resorts are westernised enough to make finding a cheeseburger simple enough, those who like to sample another country’s culinary delights will not be disappointed by a trip to Turkey.
Turkey enjoys great weather all year round, which means the nation benefits from an abundance of fresh food, sourced locally throughout all of its rich soil. What’s more, the nation’s long stretches of Mediterranean coastline mean there is always plenty of fresh sea food on offer as well.
It’s the most important meal of the day, so it’s fortunate that Breakfast food in Turkey is fantastic. The food found at breakfast is not too dissimilar to a western breakfast. Fresh Turkish bread is usually served with butter, honey, jam, feta cheese and olives; and this is accompanied by a cup of hot tea. Hot milk, sweetened with honey is also available. Another great breakfast option during cheap holidays to Turkey is a trip to the local pastry shop which serves many delicious foods. One pastry in particular is stuffed with cheese and parsley and served warm.
When it comes to lunch and dinner, there are two schools of thought in Turkey. For the most part, the foods eaten at lunchtime in Turkey are similar to those at dinner and some choose to eat a lot during their lunch and less of an evening, while others prefer to take their larger meal at dinner time, like we would back home.
Turkish people love salad, and that’s why you’ll find it served before the main course with almost every large meal. There are a wide variety of delicious salads to choose from.
If you are visiting any of the brilliant and beautiful coastal resorts during cheap holidays to Turkey, you will be spoiled for choice when it comes to great seafood. Fish is usually served poached with vegetables and lemon juice.
But if you prefer meat, you won’t be short of options either. Turkey has amazing lamb, chicken and beef, which is usually cut up and served in a kebab. Char grilled, then served in pita bread stuffed with salad and sauce, the Kebab is a staple dish in Turkey, and one that can’t be missed during your trip.
