Turkey Turkey Has a Unique Geography Where the Roads of Asia And Turkey Turkey has a unique geography where the roads of Asia and Europe intersect. Popular since the early ages of time, these lands are a combination of modern and traditional. The fact that it has been home to a wide range of civilizations, makes the history of the country even more impressive. The three sides are surrounded by seas, which means unique natural beauty and a variety of products. The coexistence of the 4 seasons increases the efficiency of fertile soils, opening up way for unique flavors. Nostalgic Turkish restaurants, vintage flavors made modern and street-dining that can be explored while cruising, are all about a distinctive and memorable experience. Its unique foods and the richness of fish, meat, wine, cheese, fruit and vegetables make a special feast for the palate. Istanbul is Turkey’s largest and most developed city, with the latest discoveries indicating that the history of human habitation here goes backsome 400,000 years. Until 1453, when it was conquered by the Ottomans, the city served as the capital of the Byzantine Empire. During the reign of the Byzantines, Istanbul was known as Constantinople, was adorned with a number of great monuments, which made it the most magnificent city in the world – this was true even during the decline of the empire. It is Istanbul’s endless variety that fascinates its visitors. The museums, churches, palaces, grand mosques, bazaars and sites of natural beauty. While you’re relaxing on the western shores of the Bosphorus at sunset and watching the crimson evening light reflecting from the other continent, it becomes clear why so many centuries ago settlers chose to build a city on this remarkable site. In such moments, you can understand why Istanbul is truly one of the world's most magnificent cities. While the East and West synthesis enrich together in Istanbul, experience in every province of Turkey awaits visitors. Istanbul's iconic heritage, Hagia Sophia, Suleymaniye and Sultanahmet mosques, the Ottoman culture's center, The Topkapi Palace, and the Spice Bazaar famous for its spices, all add value to the city of Istanbul when set against the fascinating Bosphorus. Klaus Schmidt changed the course of history by making one of the most amazing archaeological discoveries of our time. The world's oldest temple, believed to be located in southeastern Turkey and Göbeklitepe, leaves visitors awestruck. Cappadocia, which offers a fascinating experience with its wines and mystical atmosphere, is famous for its hot air balloons that take off towards the sky every morning. Nemrut Mountain, which is described as a world heritage, is one of the places where the sunrise and sunset can be watched the best. With the natural heritage of Mesopotamia and the religious heritage of Sumela Monastery in Trabzon, Turkey offers a combination of rich history and modernity. If you are looking to be inspired by unique and authentic experiences, plan a culinary vacation in Turkey’s best gastronomic destinations. Traditional Turkish Breakfast Turkish breakfast isn’t just a meal, it’s an experience. Designed to be social, shared, and savored, Turkish breakfast consists of many small plates both sweet and savory, accompanied with bread, juices, fruits and endless cups of tea. Usually a Turkish breakfast includes eggs, either fried or scrambled with tomatoes. Cucumbers and tomatoes are consistently part of breakfast as are olives, pine honey, milk and kaymak, a dairy product similar to clotted cream. Approximately 90% of the world's pine honey produced in Turkey. A plate of local cheeses like Kashkaval is also popular. Often there will also be jam, butter, simit, börek or a pastry that can be filled with cheese, spinach or meat. As the contents of a Turkish breakfast change from region to region, sometimes fruit can also be added to the mix. Fresh and natural cherries grown in summer take their place on the breakfast table. These cherries exported to Far Eastern countries are really delicious. Kashkaval cheese, which stands out among a wide variety of cheese options, has a rich taste and nutritious properties. The best of the Kashkaval cheese exported to all over the world are produced in Turkey. Dairy products and livestock are very valuable on Turkey's four-season soil because the aromatic flavors of native products such as naturally produced cheese are really impressive. Breakfast usually starts with drinking a cup of Turkish tea and at the end, Turkish coffee is served to aid digestion. Turkish coffee is usually served with a lokum (Turkish delight) in the traditional way. In addition to the option of tea and coffee at breakfast, it is possible to choose fruit juices naturally produced from local fruits. Natural fruit juices made of apples, oranges and mixed fruits enrich the taste of Turkish breakfast. There is also milk in a typical Turkish breakfast. Milk production in Turkey has also become a very important industry. A good part (16.1%) of cow's milk collected by commercial dairy enterprises in Turkey is offered for consumption as drinking milk. Serpme breakfast is a highly traditional way to enjoy the breakfast for long hours. Turkish people can be spotted out on weekends having breakfast on the Bosphorus, the countryside, popular cafés and restaurants, etc. We experienced breakfast in 2 different places, one in Asia and the other in Europe. Firstly we visit the Mozaik Restaurant, one of the most popular venues of the European Side. The Mozaik Restaurant, which is located in Sultanahmet, where the Million Stone, which has been accepted as the center of the world since the Roman Empire, frequently hosts tourists from all over the world. This breakfast, which is intensified with the view of Hagia Sophia, which brings two religions together, was a truly enjoyable experience. Next we visit the Asian Side for the another breakfast experience. The atmosphere of the cafes in Anadolu Hisarı, where lovers met during the Ottoman period, is quite fascinating.Famous Turkish poet Cemal Süreya once said, “I don’t know what you think of eating, but breakfast must have something to do with happiness!” It’s hard to add anything to such a saying that describes the soul of Turkish breakfast so beautifully. Having Different Alternatives In Istanbul, a local restaurant celebrating its 25th anniversary is seen as a great success. Sunset, the first restaurant to add the Sushi Bar to its kitchen in Turkey, has maintained its level of quality for 25 years, adding fresh flavors to its menu. Today, it offers special options from Mediterranean, Turkish and Japanese cuisines in addition to sushi. A venue you can’t leave without tasting the delicious sushi under the red Maxxi Poppy lights in its garden with a magnificent view of the Bosphorus. Located on a hilltop below Ulus Park in the upscale neighborhood of Ulus, Sunset offers a spectacular view of the Bosphorus, The Bosphorus Bridge and the Asian shoreline. A hillside garden terrace with a remarkable view and exquisite Turkish and international cuisine makes Sunset an attractive spot for its upscale clientele. Sunset is "the gathering spot" for both local and foreign socialites and Turkish business elites. Sunset Grill & Bar also has one of the good wine collections in Turkey; the cellar includes some of the finest rare wines in the world. Sunset offers a vast selection of seasonal dishes from Mediterranean, Turkish and "New Japanese" cuisine. With spacious indoor and outdoor dining areas with comfortable and casual seating, yet with a classic touch, Sunset Grill & Bar offers wonderful views of the Bosphorus strait and the Asian shoreline. It is pleasing to see that unique tastes such as sushi are successfully served in this country, which has a rich fish variety from its own seaside as Turkey is a country rich in terms of seafood. Many types of fish, especially sea-bass and salmon, are popular in Turkey. Having different alternatives for those who like to try a variety of dishes prepared with fish gives Istanbul a great advantage. Unique Seafood Experience When you think about Turkish food, do meat and kebabs come to mind? Believe it or not, fresh fish is also an important part of Turkish gastronomy. There are traditional fish restaurants in most regions where you can enjoy seasonal fresh fish with a fresh local salad. Fish and seafood specialty dishes include grilled sea-bass, grilled sea bream, grilled grouper, sea-bass cooked in salt, stuffed mussels, fried mussels, grilled octopus, grilled calamari, fried calamari, stuffed squid, scorpion fish soup, smoked fish. Turkey is also rich in fish diversity. Seafood recipes constitute an important part of contemporary Turkish Cuisine. It would be surprising that seafood was not liked on these lands, which are surrounded by seas on 3 sides. Turkish cuisine is also renowned as one of the world's best. It is considered one of the three major cuisines of the world because of the various recipes, use of natural ingredients, flavors and tastes, which appeal to all palates. Seafood recipes constitute an important part of contemporary Turkish Cuisine. Fishery is also an important source of economic income. Fish in Turkey are also exported to the world. Turkey's seas have great potential for seafood production. Freshwater farming is also practiced in almost all regions of Turkey. More than one thousand kilometers of shoreline along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts combines a favorable climate and warm seas that generate the unique habitat for the European seabass and Gilt-head sea bream. Rainbow trout from Turkey is common on dishes of European Cuisines. Smoked trout in particular is highly regarded by Northern European markets. In addition to fish, clams, mussels, shrimp, octopus, frog legs, and snails also popular export items.

Because of this close relation between the two concepts; translation studies have recently put emphasis on the study of translation and culture. The aim of this study is to descriptively analyse translation of material culture elements in Buket Uzuner’s novel Uzun Beyaz Bulut-Gelibolu translated into English as The Long White Cloud-Gallipoli by Pelin Thornhill Arıner within the framework of domestication and foreignization strategies. The study focuses on determining how translation procedures by Peter Newmark that are used in translation of cultural elements affect the governing translation strategy, namely domestication and foreignization in translation of the selected novel.The procedures are divided into two strategies as domesticating and foreignizing strategies. Naturalization, Cultural equivalent, Functional Equivalent, Descriptive Equivalent, Synonymy, Modulation, Translation Label, Compensation, Componential Analysis, Reduction and Expansion and Paraphrase are analysed under domestication strategy while Literal Translation, Transference, Through Translation and Paraphrase, Notes, Additions are analysed under foreignization strategy. The results indicate that out of 75 material culture elements, domestication was used 39 times while foreignization was used 36 times and there is no prevailing translation strategy in the translation Keywords: translation, culture, Newmark, procedures, domestication, foreignization 1.

There, amid the fluorescent lights and graffiti, is the prep kitchen of Mikla, Mehmet Gürs’ New Anatolian restaurant, which is situated 18 floors above. The bunker-like space is the domain of two of the Turkish-Finnish chef’s ‘dream team’, a passionate band of young chefs and people best described as food anthropologists. Inside, head chef Cihan Çetinkaya Tand ingredients sleuth Tangör Tan gleefully unwrap their latest consignment of goodies: garlands of sun-dried aubergine skins and red pepper hulls, necklaces of pinky-nail-sized baby okra, a bag of smoky chilli flakes the colour of molten lava and another of the lemony sumac more commonly associated with Lebanon. There are also sacks of wafers of tarhana — fermented and dried wheat chips brittle as caramel. One kind is flecked with chilli; another, more nubbly version, looks like dried porridge and is so thoroughly artisan it still bears the imprints of the fingers that made it.

  • 3. Ottoman Contributions to the World.Pdf
    Ottoman Contributions to the World Turkey is also the home of many other cultivated plants, such as chickpeas, lentils, apricots, almonds, figs, hazelnuts, cherries and sour cherries. Their origin is recorded in the Latin names for some of these species, such as Ficus caria, meaning "fig of Caria". Caria was an archaic civilization of Anatolia in the southern Aegean region. Similarly the cherry's scientific name Cerasus comes from the ancient name of its place of origin, today the province of Giresun on Turkey's Black Sea coast. Off the large number of ornamental flowers cultivated from Turkish wild forms, we can cite the tulip, crocus, snowdrop, lily and fritillary. TULIPS Although tulips are associated with Holland, both the flower and its name originated in the lâleh) as it is also called in Turkey, is a ,ﻩلال Persian empire.
