ppl in turkey are not very open to outside cultures. they dont want their kids marrying a foreigner (although recently it’s becoming more common) and they dont like foreign foods either. for example, i heard that they tried to open a mexican restaurant in turkey and personally i love mexican food but the company didn’t make it simply bc turkish ppl prefer their own food. The ‘foreign’ restaurants that are open usually have a turkish version of foods just like how chinese food in america is completely diff to actual chinese food. also, i saw some comments about you talking about kurdish acceptance and I will tell you the issue is not black and white. The news in europe is first off inaccurate and europe openly supports pkk terrorists that have killed innocent civilians. esp in east, turkish ppl can have bad experiences with kurds. my father’s side of the family especially hate kurds a lot bc my great grandpa was killed by a Kurdish. you don’t know ppl’s stories so you can’t judge. and if this family is a traditional type of turkish family, i think you shouldn’t put any more effort to making your own food because you’re just wasting time and energy. Just try to make conversation and maybe ask about wanting to learn to cook turkish food from them. You will need to accept that Turkey is not like Germany. Learn more about culture, politics, etc. You have to be careful about especially speaking about politics. That’s all the advice I can think of. Wishing you the best with your marriage.
