In Turkey, there is a rich tradition associated with liquor. Drinking alcoholic beverages in the company of family and friends at home and in taverns, and restaurants, is a part of special occasions. Similar to the Spanish tapas, "meze" is the general category of dishes that are brought in small quantities to start the meal off. These are eaten, along with wine or more likely with "raki", the anise-flavoured national drink of Turks, sometimes referred to as "lion's milk", for a few hours until the main course is served.

The bare minimum meze for raki are slices of honeydew melons and creamy feta cheese with freshly baked bread. Beyond these, a typical meze menu includes dried and marinated mackerel, fresh salad greens in thick yogurt sauce with garlic, plates of cold vegetable dishes cooked or fried in olive oil, fried crispy savoury pastry, deep fried mussels and calamari served in sauce, tomato and cucumber salad, and fish eggs in sauce. The main course that follows such a meze spread will be fish or grilled meat.

When the main course is kebab, then the meze spread is different. In this case, several plates of different types of minced salad greens and tomatoes in spicy olive oil, mixed with yogurt or cheese, "humus" chickpeas mashed in tahini, bulgur and red lentil balls, "raw kofte", marinated stuffed eggplant, peppers with spices and nuts, and pickles, are likely to be served.

euehehe:lol: ben rakiyi severim; bir "tek" rakiyla insan güzel olabiliyor hem daha ekonomik,hem de mezeleri çok daha lezzetli:okay: tabii kırmızı şarabı tek geçiyorum!!

[Urban Girl]

evet rakı içince allık kullanmaya gerek kalmıyo:D ben 1-2 kez içtim ve kustum bide ben çok beyaz tenliyim hemen kızarıyorum rakı içince:(. ay yine midem bulandı ya hakkaten iğrenç bişey nasıl içiyosunuz anlamıyorum. ben herzaman şarap ve votkayı tercih ederim.

[falconi]

izmirde efes birasini icdim ve cok begendim (normalde hic bira icmiyorumda ondan ;) )
raki bilmiyorum anason kokusu bana hic hos gelmiyor!

EFES BEER is better for me!
:cheers: :cheers:

[utahjazz]

all the way RAKI,

Raki has its own culture that beer/vine drinkers will never understand unless they drink RAKI with good company. For those of you who says they prefer beer because they don't like the taste of RAKI, I say you are missing a lot.

Also shame on you because you are children of ATATURK, he wouldn't like it if he saw some new generation Turkish people having tendency to drink beer. He the best example of how to drink RAKI in a proper way for us. Any nation who forgets their traditions will be lost in the history. This issue, therefore, is not very simple since by drinking other drinks you are indeed destroying the country.

Drink slowly and drink with decent people who doesn't talk nonsense than it would make you better person in life whereas drinking beer regardless the quality of the people you drink with would not take or give you anything as far as the your perspective of life is concerned.

:cheers:

Raki or Ouzo is great! On Crete, the Cretans have a special blend of Raki which they call Tsikoudia. It is great!
Stoly Vodka is my drink though.

Hey urban girl, are you single???
No, ive got a perfect bf:)
but why did you ask?

[ælex]

I like beer but Raki is also very good...

[Stanpolitan]

Turkish thracian, anatolian wine was the emperial most used alchoholic beverage thousands of years in this land , till the end of Ottoman Empire, not raki . Raki gained its max. popularity during the republic . Why did wine drinking declined , there are reasons for that. But it is rising again , hopefully will be the top alchoholic beverage , as it was for millenia.

[Machiya]

I always prefer Raki along with a nice Meze table sharing the mood with good friends....

Raki vs Beer:
Difficult choise
because i have tasted Raki (true turkish Raki) and it was great (few years ago in Chios island).
Also i like beer a lot

Raki or Ouzo is great! On Crete, the Cretans have a special blend of Raki which they call Tsikoudia. It is great!
Stoly Vodka is my drink though.
Yes, indeed Tsikoudia is great too
