Answer 2

we have very healthy cuisine.

we use a lot of fresh vegetables and fresh meat. meat sold at the supermarkets is used very rarely, people go always to the fresh market in open air for vegetables and to the butchers who sell very fresh meat.

it's mediterranean, looks a bit like italian, a bit like greek and a bit ottoman.

we use lots of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, courgettes, cauliflowers, spinach and mediterranean fruits. lots of olive oil.

very tasty, very delicious.

I love tave kosi, this is a dish made of yougurt, eggs and lamb and cooked in the oven. It comes out just jummy and delicious.
