TURKISH FOOD TOUR | WHAT TURKISH FOOD TO EAT IN ISTANBUL | STREET FOOD in Istanbul
We're in Istanbul, Turkey! This is one of our favourite cities and we've spent 2 months eating our way around Istanbul to create this series. This 4 part series is about showing you more of the unusual Turkish foods and hunting down where the locals eat. Watch our previous Istanbul series here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLg-t2nQXCum5H6OdIDcl7QRM48xidTQPS

This is our first Istanbul food video. We start with the best pide in the city at a simple pide salonu in Fatih. We love the pide here for its crispy, crunchy dough and fresh ingredients. Next up is a traditional Turkish drink called boza. Boza is a fermented drink made of bulgur, water and sugar. It's commonly drunk in the winter as it's very filling and warming. We sample it at a heritage shop that's been around since 1876- it's said Ataturk drunk boza here once!

Onwards for cağ kebab where lamb is roasted on a horizontal spit, sliced onto a skewer and then crisped up over charcoal. Eaten with lavash (flatbread) and ezme a Turkish salad of tomatoes, parsley, onion and pomegranate molasses, the lamb is absolutely mouthwatering. Our final stop is for a pickle juice at a tursu (pickle) shop in Kadikoy which has been around since 1935. Pickles are a big part of Turkish food culture and almost every meal will include some form of pickled vegetable. We down a pickle juice and some pickles to help us digest all the mouthwatering food we've eaten.

We’re Thomas and Sheena, food and travel fiends. We travel full time, hunting for the BEST local food in the world to showcase via our YouTube videos. Food is a window into a country's culture and one of the most exciting ways to get to know a place.

We're all about eating what and where the locals eat. You won't find food that's been created merely to be social media worthy on here- no rainbow bagels, gold leaf soft serves- just genuine, authentic food that tastes incredible.

From street food to mom and pop restaurants, we want to show you the best and most authentic food we find on our travels.
