Turkey's tourism ministry picks 10 popular street food
Published 19 Jan,2021 via Hürriyet Daily News - Turkey’s Culture and Tourism Ministry has prepared a list of the country’s most popular street food anyone can find in all 81 provinces across the nation, with “simit,” which is Turkish bagel, fish sandwiches and chestnuts taking the lead.
“Tantuni,” which is a wrap with small cubes of meat seasoned with hot peppers and onions, stuffed mussels, baked potatoes, chicken with rice, çiğ köfte, fresh almond on ice and şalgam follow suit on the list.
Although Istanbul is Turkey’s gastronomical center with plenty of local and international restaurants, street food is also worth trying for tourists, according to goturkey.com, a website set up by the ministry to promote the country’s tourist hotspots.
