Funda,

I didn’t know that the Greeks claim yogurt as their own invention, but I have heard Bulgarians lay claim to it as their national “culture”.

Turkish chauvism at it’s best. The food comes from a Kurdish region, cooked by Kurds, served by Kurds…but don’t call it Kurdish! You just made yourselves look like the most discriminating small minded people, congratulations.

Correct this post as soon as possible! It’s not “kurdish breakfast” . It’s not breakfast! Breakfast can be eaten at evening too! so this would make it a dinner! if it can be a dinner why do you call it breakfast?! alla alla. Also it’s not a club it’s a “restaurant”.

And by the way, for some definitely Kurdish food–just to add to the K word fracas–I recommend my wife’s website which has a lot of North Kurdistani recipes…Yum!

I can’t imagine anyone getting their panties in a wad over someone, say, in New York calling a taco Mexican food just because they are sold at Taco Bells all over the country. Silly backlash indeed…

Aren’t all of the people working in this place Kurdish? So what’s the issue with saying so?

It is not a Kurdish place, you should correct this. This place is Van Breakfast Club

Allahaşkına onun açılımı o mu. Çeviri fukarası mısın sen. Siyasi görüşünüzü yemeğe bulaştırmayın bari be.

Ozge,
I don’t think it is an allergy to the word Kurd. There are certain food that associated with Kurds such as Kurt Boregi. But I am from Maras and we consume yogurt, nuts, ceviz at the breakfast it is very much like Van breakfast. That type of breakfast is definitely not particular to Kurdish food.
Today the Greek says that Imambayildi, baklava, borek are Greek food. Even our own invention yogurt is proclaimed as Greek yogurt. Well that’s a bit unfair as the word yogurt is a pure Turkish word.
