Kebab - putting meat and vegetables on a stick and roasting it is pretty primitive. I like it, and if you use nice sticks it makes all the difference.

there are many kinds of kebabs ,some of them are turkish, but as for baklava

even its name is turkish,no greek

The word baklava is first attested in English in 1650,[3] a borrowing from Ottoman Turkish بقلاوه /bɑːklɑvɑː/.[4][5] The name baklava is used in many languages with minor phonetic and spelling variations.

Buell argues that the word "baklava" may come from the Mongolian root baγla- 'to tie, wrap up, pile up' composed with the Turkic verbal ending -v;[6] baγla- itself in Mongolian is a Turkic loanword.[7] Another form of the word is also recorded in Persian, باقلبا (bāqlabā).[8] Though the suffix -vā might suggest a Persian origin,[9][10] the baqla- part does not appear to be Persian.[11]

The Arabic name بقلاوة baqlāwa is doubtless a borrowing from Turkish,[12] though a folk etymology, unsupported by Wehr's dictionary, connects it to Arabic بقلة /baqlah/ 'bean'.[citation needed]

Well the name may be Turkic, the origin of the pastry is disputed. It may have been invented by the Romans. :mrgreen:

yes like greeks invented yoğurt :roll:
 
I have had turkish food before, could not name any of it, all your wierd non english names, not bad but I hate that too much of what they eat has no meat in it, but this seems to be a general thing across the middle east, where meat is expensive and often like lets say goats produce more cheese and milk alive than they do meat on your plate, making it a luxury.

Wierd though turkish food was very similiar to greek food, wonder if it has anything to do with how geologically close they are.

Nasil San, Medusa

I do not know what it is called, but I eat it to this day.

When I was in training with some Turkish students they showed me how to make a delightful dish on a hot day that is plain yogurt, chopped up cucumbers, lots of garlic and crushed ice, or just let it sit in the frig.

I have modified it somewhat by adding scallions to it, and a bit of salt.

I introduce it to everyone I know, but I forgot what they called it.
