We finally got to sit down for a relaxing meal and enjoy some traditional local Goreme food (Goreme is a district of Nevshir province in Cappadocia). We decided on a chicken soup, tomato soup, and a tas kebap, which claimed to be a local specialty. Their kebaps are what we know as kebabs and in this particular dish, kebaps were cooked with tomatoes and vegetables in a clay pot. Great choices for such a chilly day. I'm not a big fan of mushy tomatoes, but I did enjoy my very condensed chicken soup with an obvious large amount of yogurt. Turks love themselves some yogurt!
It's also very apparent that meat is expensive here, because they try to put as little meat in their dishes as possible. For example, my chicken soup at no chicken. And the tas kebap had 5 pieces of beef. It was a nice game of "bopping for beef."
I love my meat so I will just say that so far, I prefer the Turkish food in NY.
