Street food Börek — the authentic version
The best Börek I've ever had came from a street stall, not a restaurant. The richly savory intensity was completely different — more direct and uncompromised. Turkish red pepper paste was used without hesitation, the way it should be.
the meze tradition of small shared dishes predates the main course. The a home dinner table setting meant eating standing up or on a low stool, which is how this food is supposed to be encountered. pomegranate juice was sold right next to it. Don't wait to find the 'right' restaurant. Find the street version first.
