The Culinary Treasures of the Ottoman Empire Part Two

Oh hello!

The second part of our adventure in Ottoman food culture is here for all to enjoy!

On today's episode we will talk about coffee, salep and street food in Istanbul. What are imarets, what was the social life for people across the Empire, and what was the culture and table etiquette of raki-drinking and meze-eating?
