Travel: Why Istanbul Is The Next Food Destination To Add To Your Bucket List

If Turkish food experiences can sometimes feel uniform in cities like London, New York and Berlin, a trip to Istanbul is like the culinary equivalent of choosing the red pill. For a start, you can eat adana kebab and doner that will expand your notion of their possibilities – but it won’t stop there. You’ll learn about the ubiquity of mussels – stuffed and fried; mackerel wraps you’ll want to try making at home; intricately layered boreks; and rotating around horizontal spits, a lamb offal delight called kokoreç, which, when finely chopped and stuffed between a crusty loaf, may well be a contender for the world’s most flavoursome sandwich.
