There is a great variety of Starters (called “meze”) which are especially fit for a “rakı” table (a strong alcholic drink made of aniseed and grapes). In Turkey, drinking “rakı” is almost a ritual: a friendly gathering during which you take your time over many different “mezes” in small quantities, starting with cold and simple ones such as white cheese and salads, finishing off with warm ones like fried pastries or croquettes. Then you can have the main dish, which is usually fish or broiled meat. However, it happens that with so many different kinds of delicious “mezes” you are already full and do not have a chance to pass on to the main dish!
