Turkish Coffee Tradition
The word "kahvaltı" literally means "before coffee," highlighting the historical connection to morning coffee. Sharing Turkish coffee in the morning is a cherished tradition that fosters conversation and friendship. Traditional Turkish breakfasts start with hot dishes such as eggs with sausage (sucuk), omelets, or boiled eggs, and end with sweets like jams, honey with clotted cream, and tahini with molasses. In contrast, breakfasts in many other countries are mainly sweet—croissants with jam in France and Belgium, or entirely sugary meals in the U.S. Savory items like olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and meats are mostly unique to Turkish breakfasts.
