How a Sultan of the Ottoman Empire Dined

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Sultans in the Ottoman Empire loved to eat. In the 15th century, Topkapi Palace boasted a kitchen staff of 100 people, a number that grew to 500 during the 16th-century reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. Before 1600, the kitchen staff topped 1, 000 people who were all dedicated to creating the confections, drinks, and elaborate meals eaten by the sultan. Ottoman sultans prized expensive luxuries that expanded beyond the Ottoman harems and into their kitchens as well. They stocked their pantries with ground orchid and other exotic spices, and imported ingredients from across their massive empire and from neighboring territories, including the Persian Empire and China

The Ottamans set such a good example as pacific conquerors that they won the confidence of many former Byzantine subjects. For example, when Nicaea fell, Orhan allowed all who wanted to leave the city to depart freely, taking with them their holy relics, but few availed themselves of the chance. No reprisals were taken against those who had resisted, and the city was left to manage its internal affairs under its own municipal government. BOOK: Encyclopaedia of the Ottoman Empire.

I have Kurdish friends who make borek-so so delicious I tried to do it using their recipe-dismal failure. T. V chefs make things quickly I never chopped vegetables with the quality of knives they had after prepping it daily after immense quantities but the taste is there-some of these eastern dishes taste nothing like the originals Those long, slim, beautiful fingers must help I never had those either-heigh ho we do the best we can!

Turcs, mongoles, tatars, xazars, gagaouzes, petseneges, have Byzantine cousine.
Such was the carried animal manure in their carts? H ha ha!
They were simple copied from byzance.
See the description of Byzantine food and sweets by the francs ambassadors in Constantinople.
The same history as the turcs are the. ancestors of Omiros, Pythagoras, Thalis etc.

I love fennel root, don't know why it took me so long to try it considering I see it at the supermarket all the time.
The white is good in root mash and as a substitute for potato/turnip, and the green is a great substitute for anything you'd put celery in. I always put fennel root in my shepherds/cottage pie now.

Many of these dishes are popular in the Balkans. In Serbia, we consider burek and sarma as part of our national dishes, the question is where did they originate from? I think the Turks adopted dishes from their colonies, and then spread them around the empire. For example, baklava is traditionally Armenian in origin.

3: 58 you say that Ottomans drank Tea from as early as 400 BC. At that time they weren't Ottomans, and Turks weren't exactly a known ethnic group then, so where does 400 BC come from?
I guess Turk ancestors would have drank tea as it is commonly found in Manchuria, and that is where Turks originate from.

Turkish delight is amazing
Fun fact: There is a theory that the Hamburger was created by German traders who had ground meat kebabs in Turkey and when they returned to Hamburg they attempted to recreate what they had in Turkey and hey presto! The Hamburger

4. 02 - the ottomans were a family not a nation. Calling our ancestors ottomans is like calling austrians habsburgs. There was no 'ottomans' in 400bc. The correct term should have been turkic people/peoples, as the name of our nation is turk, not ottoman.

since industrialization Ayran is being made with milk and a yeast (like kefir) so do not expect store bought ayran to taste the same as your water+yogurt mix. Also I would suggest adding yogurt brine to the mix when making ayran. It tastes way better

10: 14 Actually quince is quite common and not that rare in Turkey(largest producer I guess. There are also lamb-stuffed melon, apple also exists. This kind of recipe is also called Terkib-i Tuffahiyye which means Unusual Recipe: )

My buddy from north africa make special Coffee. He grind beans, lightly frie some hashish in butter, cinnamon and cardamom and mix with coffee and honey he only use red lebanese hashish. This beverage makes you very high for long time

I love ayran, I get it fresh made at Mediterranean markets in San Diego, as well as lots of freshly prepared dishes. Usually drink mine with lamb shawarma with cilantro and pepper sauces.
reply

The drink with yoghurt and salt with the addition of soda water is called Durgh in Iran, isnt it? I love it but it has to be freshly made -the bottled variety is horrid
reply

Missing from your video is the impact of Greek cuisine. The Greeks were the chefs for the sultan and the Ottomans appropriated their cuisine from the GReeks
reply

I just love reading comments in a turkish related video Its like a damned wasteland. Guys come on drop the racisim and past anger. Come, have some ayran
reply

3: 57 evidence that the ottomans drank teach as far back as 400 BC? I didn't realise the ottomans were older than Julius Caesar lolololol.
reply

Ottomans couldnt have drank tea in the 4th century BC because the Ottoman Empire didnt exist until the 13th century AD, get it right plz mate,
reply

You will have to make up your mind: doner is the one on the vertical spit, kebabs are little meat pieces on a skewer. In Turkey its either or.
