The May Day holiday has arrived, but the epidemic caused by the small virus is still raging around the world. Although the holiday lasts for five days, many tourists are enthusiastic about going to domestic and foreign attractions, but their interest is lacking. On these days when you can't travel abroad, we collect some special attractions for you, one is to travel to the cloud, and the other is to prepare for travel after the epidemic, this time launched is a special place in Turkey. For travel enthusiasts, Turkey is a good destination, because there are many monuments, beautiful scenery, and more importantly, relatively cheap, compared to Istanbul, which many people have visited, some small cities are more distinctive, CNN Travel Channel recently published their reporters to visit the eastern Turkish city of Van (Van), the so-called "world breakfast city". Even if you can't come in person, it's good for everyone to take advantage of the time to go shopping and eat.
Turkey's diet focuses on The essence of Asia and Europe because of its geographical location, while Turkish breakfasts are particularly hearty and balanced, especially with fresh local ingredients. Among the cities in Turkey, Van's breakfast is second, and he does not dare to change the first.
Van is the capital of Van Province in the eastern administrative region of Turkey, named after Van Lake outside the city. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Uraltu, Van dates back to the ninth century BC, so historical monuments and culture are the strong points of this place. But for the people of Van City, nothing is more to be proud of than their breakfast.
Originally, Van was also an important stop on the Silk Road, a place where merchants used to stop for breakfast, and breakfast in the area was famous for its diverse and unique cuisine at that time. Until now, van's breakfast shops are all over the city, and there is a road called Kahavalt c lar ar s (breakfast street) where dozens of breakfast shops are concentrated, which is bustling every morning, and the restaurants are full of locals and tourists inside and out.
The breakfast in Van City is not simple, a bit similar to Cantonese morning tea, salty and sweet dishes are more than ten dishes, and friends and relatives share at a table. The ingredients for breakfast here place great emphasis on local specialties and freshness, so dairy products occupy an important position, including a variety of cheeses, butter and cream. There is a famous Van Herb Cheese, which is made with fresh cheese and aromatic wild vegetables unique to the surrounding mountains, these herbs include wild garlic, wild leeks, mountain thyme, fennel, mint and so on, accompanied by freshly baked thin bread, delicious.
The local scrambled eggs are also very special, with spicy Turkish sausages and beef fried in a pan along with eggs. There is also a practice similar to pancakes, where a pancake is spread first, then eggs are added, and crushed walnuts and honey are sprinkled before eating. In addition, there will be other side dishes and dips alongside, as for which one you like, you really need to try it yourself.
If you love sweetness, you can also try a thin cookie recipe of only butter, flour and honey, all three of which are freshly produced locally, so the baked cookies are crisp and fragrant, and you can also add rose jam, tahini or glucose honey to Van. If that's not enough, try local toasted butter cookies and sweet bread, which won't disappoint. These desserts are usually served with a cup of Turkish tea, which is also different from regular English morning tea, which is very fragrant because the Turkish tea is pressed very finely. Although everyone can't go anywhere during the May Day holiday, even next month's Dragon Boat Festival, I believe that one day we will be able to travel around the world and dominate the world. After reading these, is it a little heartwarming, so mark a note, and have the opportunity to go to Van City to punch in the future. There is a popular song that says: I want to take you to romantic Turkey and then go to Tokyo and Paris together, in fact, I especially like Miami. Everyone says romantic Turkey, and food is also a kind of romance. In the CNN report, Van City is the "Breakfast City of the World", is it better to meet than to be famous, or is it worthy of the name, do not go to a trip, and how to confirm it?
