Kahvaltı (Turkish breakfast)



After hearing about American breakfasts an getting his fill of waffles on Tuesday, Luke's tutor, Mehmet, helped Luke prepare a Turkish breakfast. Prepare is really the best word, as nothing but the hard-boiled egg was cooked.

A typical breakfast includes: tomatoes (domates), cucumbers (salatalık), olives (zeytin), feta cheese (beyaz peynir), kashar cheese (kaşar peynir), bread (ekmek), and hard-boiled eggs (yumurta). Eggs and sausage (sucuklu yumurta) are also optional. As always, we add a steaming hot cup of çay (tea) to finish everything off.
