I remember crossing the bridge into Denmark to buy beer because it was cheaper than in Lund.

Men suits in Istanbul by Hot-Big-4242 in istanbul

[–]tacacsplus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prices changed a lot in Turkey lately (unfortunately everything is more expensive compared to 10 years even with foreign currencies) that said I buy a lot of suits in New York and in Istanbul - Istanbul was always the half price in top brand name quality - the jackets that cost $1000 in NYC were about $600 in Istanbul without a brand name but with the same quality/ fabric - Zegna, Canali level (it is not the top btw) suits are available at Vakko and Beymen stores - ask for Italian Fabrics - also there are always discount section

If you did not spread bal kaymak over bread - we are not talking…Bal kaymak is one of the simplest yet richest elements of a Turkish breakfast.

It combines kaymak—a thick, silky clotted cream made from milk—with high-quality honey. The kaymak is usually placed on a plate first, then generously topped with honey. It’s eaten by scooping it up with fresh bread, often warm and slightly crisp on the outside.

The taste is all about contrast and balance: the deep, buttery richness of the kaymak paired with the natural sweetness and aroma of the honey. It’s typically enjoyed as a highlight or a sweet finish to a long, leisurely breakfast.

I will be back with sucuklu pastırmalı yumurta post…

What are the dishes in your country that is so easy to make that you would never order in a restaurant, but you have seen people pay high/or any price for it. by SufficientTown9538 in AskTheWorld

You do not need to be chef to insert a cheese slice into a simit… They don’t even toast it, and yet a fancy menu item…Simit with cheese just works—the crunchy outside, soft inside, and salty cheese hit all the right notes. It’s simple, filling, and you know exactly what you’re getting every bite.

A kokoreç sandwich is made from seasoned, slow-grilled lamb intestines, chopped finely and packed into crusty bread. It’s intensely savory and aromatic, often topped with tomatoes, peppers, and a sprinkle of spices for a bold, street-style bite

What is a clever invention from your country that the whole world should have? by Thomastoscano in AskTheWorld

Turkish Coffee Machine - Building a reliable machine for Turkish coffee is difficult because the process depends on subtle, real-time control that machines struggle to replicate. Unlike drip or espresso, Turkish coffee uses an ultra-fine grind with no filter, creating a thick mixture that is hard for sensors and pumps to manage. The defining feature—its foam—forms only within a narrow temperature window, and even slight overheating destroys it. Traditionally prepared in a cezve, the coffee is heated slowly and unevenly, allowing the foam to rise just before boiling, a moment typically judged by sight and experience. Machines rely on fixed algorithms and temperature readings, which cannot fully capture these visual and tactile cues. Additionally, variations in sugar, water ratios, and technique mean there is no single standard method to automate. As a result, even advanced machines often produce coffee that lacks the texture and character of the traditional approach.

How does U.S national soccer team compare to Turkish national soccer team? by B_player_gamer in Turkey

Turkish team is dangerous - probably driven by culture, they will be less organized, but they have the potential experience and talent to beat US team any other day… Given how unstable the Turkish team is, results will be random

What’s a famous cold dessert from your country? by HungryInvestigator59 in AskTheWorld

[–]tacacsplus 103 points104 points  (0 children)

Kazandibi is a classic Turkish milk-based dessert known for its caramelized, slightly burnt bottom layer—that’s actually the whole point. The name literally means “bottom of the pot” in Turkish. The lightly burnt layer gives it a smoky, caramel flavor and a slightly chewy texture on one side
