TURKISH PIDE (Turkish Flat Bread With Ground Meat and Vegetables Filling/KIYMALI PIDE)
When you think of delicious Mediterranean food, "Pita/pitta" (in Turkey; its name is "pide") and "Humus" are so popular throughout the Mediterranean region. Like in Mediterranean Cuisine, "Pita/pitta or Pide" is also very famous in Turkey. It is greasy, thin, crispy and yummy. There are many different pita/pitta/pide flavours with different cooking styles varying throughout the Anatolian region. It is filled with delicious things like meat, sausage and cheese. But, Turkish Flat Bread with Ground meat and vegetables filling/ Kiymali Pide is one of the most popular snack (or we can say that: most popular fast food) in Turkish Cuisine.
We, as Turkish people, like pide very much and we usually consume Turkish Pide at least once during the our Vacations. It is actually so good and you must try it when you visit here and we are sure that when you are a way from Turkey you will miss it very much.
On the other hand, "Lahmacun/Lahmajun" is very famous and popular in Turkey too.İt might resemble to Turkish Pide very much but in fact it differ from lahmacun/lahmajun in following ways: They are both a kind of Turkish Pide or Turkish Pizza. Pide is long, thick, crispy edges and different fillings (We can say that its shape resemble to boat or submarine), while Lahmacun/Lahmajun is a round and very thin pide stuffed with Mince meat, sprinkle with lemon juice and rolled up when you eat. Also we use yeast for the Pide dough but we dont use yeast for the dough of Lahmacun/Lahmajun.
