Best local delights you should try in ancient city of Troy

Troy is located near the Kaz Mountains (and the ancient Mount Ida) and near the modern city of Çanakkale. People have been living here more or less uninterrupted for around 5,000 years, and the culture and cuisine reflect this depth and fusion of cultures. The region truly is home to a 'food culture,' and as a result everything you eat and drink will be absolutely delicious. Here are some of the local delights you'll be eating when you visit the historic and incredible city of Troy. Bluefish Pilav The fish is cooked and served over the rice, allowing its juices to be soaked up and mix with all the flavor of traditional Turkish pilav. Ezine Cheese They can be made from either cow, sheep or goat's milk and can be a hard, or soft, and also can be from whole milk or half. It's an absolute staple of the traditional Turkish breakfast, but it's a fairly big staple of dinners as well and is often eaten as a meze by itself or is consumed in the summer months with watermelon or melons. Ezine in Çanakkale, or more broadly in the region of Thrace, is considered the homeland for white cheese. At any cheese shop you'll be able to order just about any variety of white cheese that you want with different tasting notes on offer, but if you have to try one, making it an Ezine white cheese is as good a bet as any. Çırpma Spinach, or often greens like nettles or leeks are thrown into a kind of omlet and mixed with local cheese for a local delight that you'll be hard-pressed to find outside of the region, which is fair enough because it tastes best with all the ingredients locally sourced! Grilled Sardines in Vine Leaves And, as is standard throughout Turkey, one of the best local ways to enjoy it is stuffed into delicious local vine leaves! Cheese Helva Soft, unsalted local cheeses are melted and essentially beaten with sugar and flour until it reaches the right consistency. Simple and delicious!
