Thank you so much for sharing with us, those who cannot travel to Turkey. I love Turkish food!!! I will be reading your whole blog!

Check out my recent post on the famous dish, imam biyaldi:

This place is not The Kurdish Breakfast Club, this place is Van Breakfast Club, please!

who minds whether Kurdish or Turkish, we mind the delicious breakfast 😉

It is not a Kurdish place, you should correct this. Van breakfast is totaly Turkish.

funda, levent; just don’t, please. tatlı yiyelim tatlı konuşalım.

You had the use the K word, didn’t you? Enjoy the stupid backslash now.

The only thing wrong with your review of this great little place is that one plate is not quite enough to feed a whole family – three of us tried that and ended up having to order two extra portions of kaymak and honey, so see what you did! The gozleme with spicy sausage was very good as well.

Ne kürdişi türkiş kahvaltı.Hangi memlekette yaşıyorsunuz yazan arkadaş.

Kurdish breakfast? you can name it so but same things you can see on the table every home in all around the Turkey no matter what is your cultural background. Some items are special to city Van but you can even not find the same in another city where a lot of Kurdish people are living. Try to not twist things while you are interpreting or explaining. Other than that you have a good website.

Its a goodwork to tell the enviromental culture of Turkey, but be carefull about your headlines , because you re directed people learn about the Turkish culture in wrong way with the wrong names , and you have to be carefull about the headlines you have choosen; not like ‘ The Kurdish Breakfast Club’. Because its not a Kurdish place or their culture …
If you want to translate the words its enough for saying like ‘Breakfast Club Of Van’ …

Good Luck Boys …

Tamam Kürtlerde canımız ciğerimizde yani Bal-Kaymağın da tescili mi olur? Bu yüzden Kurdish demek garip olmuş. Neyse araç amacın önüne geçmesin, Van kahvaltısı gerçekten süperdir.

I just think that, when mentioning certain dishes such as deniz börülcesi, ahtapot tava etc., using the phrase aegean food wouldn’t offend anyone, and likewise when talking about mıhlama, you are %100 free to say that it’s a laz dish, these meals can be cooked in each and every house all around Turkey or even the world but either because of their origins or some specific ingridients,or sometimes just for eating habits they are unique to some places or groups. Wouldn’t it be kind of jerkish if i said Cerkez tavuğu’s name should be changed beause it’s cooked all over Turkey. What’s the so very big deal if they said kurdish, every one knows that kurds typically and more commonly use cooked butter-flour combinations for breakfast and also yoghurt which are a bit unique to them. Some people are really and unfortunately still allergetic to the word kurd and they also just can’t miss any single opportunity to prove their chauvinism.

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.

Best service, best food! Thanks!

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.

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

another take on the Kurdish breakfast house

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…

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!

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”.

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.

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”.

What is wrong with the word Kurdish?You people cannot ignore the obvious for ever hahaha

Van is Kurdish Breakfast, its named after the city (Van or Wan in kurdish), its renown for its breakfast. Van is a kurdish city. so please lets not turn this into a political debate just enjoy your breakfast!!!!!!
