Turkish breakfast is the best way to get your day started anywhere in the world. It's got tons of variety, so the picky eaters among us can pick and choose what they like and what they don't. In short, it's got something for everyone and is the perfect way to get your day started. Turkish Tea It's strong but never bitter, and studies have shown that Turkish tea helps regulate blood vessels and the heart, lowering the chance of a stroke or heart attack. It's served in beautiful fluted glass cups, adding to the aesthetics of the breakfast. Salad of Tomatoes and Cucumber Cheese Aged Kaşar, Çeçil, Tulum, Lor, and other cheeses are common, though white cheese (similar to feta) is the only cheese that is more or less required. Olives Eggs Probably most common is the dish cooked in a traditional pan called Menemen, made of eggs, tomato, green peppers, and spices, with salt and oregano sprinkled on top. But if that's not to your taste, then boiled eggs, omelets, and fried eggs with beef sausage (called sujuk) are all very common over Turkish breakfast. Breads Sesame bread called Simit is also present at just about every Turkish breakfast. Honey and Clotted Cream The clotted cream of 'kaymak' is as good a cream as you'll find anywhere in the world, and Turkish honey is also famed as amongst the best, with hundreds of different types on offer (depending on the flowers they're pollinated from), all of them 100% natural of course. In fact, honey straight off the comb is very common in Turkey, with locals heading to the store and buying an entire honey comb rather than a jar. Acuka Jam and Marmalade
