and energy-giving dishes. Cağ kebabı, prepared with marinated lamb cooked
over a rotating spit, is one of the city’s most famous flavours. Another winter
favourite is kadayıf dolması. It is a dessert with walnuts inside. It is fried and
then put in sweet syrup. It is warm, so people like it on cold days. Traditional
soups and pastries, such as ayran aşı and su böreği, also reflect the city’s
strong food culture and hospitality.
