Ciğer kebabı, or liver kebab, is a popular Turkish dish of skewered and grilled liver originating from southeastern Turkey, particularly Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, and Şanlıurfa. It is popularly enjoyed in southern provinces and holds cultural significance. It is also often served for breakfast. Preparation involves cutting and seasoning the liver with salt, spices, and sometimes vegetables and skewering it with tail fat. In Gaziantep, the liver is cubed and skewered, while in Mersin, Adana, and Şanlıurfa, it is threaded in smaller pieces using special liver skewers, often alternating with tail fat in Gaziantep. In Urfa, the skewers are wrapped in tail fat. Serving methods vary: it may be garnished with parsley and onion and seasoned with cumin or also accompanied by lavash bread. In Gaziantep, it is served directly on skewers with bread, accompanied by ornamental pepper and lemon. Roasted green peppers and tomatoes also often accompany the skewers. Historically, ciğer kebabı is detailed in Ottoman cookbooks such as Melce&uuml;'t-Tabb&acirc;h&icirc;n, describing sheep and lamb liver skewered and cooked over fire, seasoned with garlic, vinegar, water, and salt. Regionally, varieties include Urfa liver kebab and Diyarbakır liver kebab, each recognized with geographical indications, highlighting their unique local flavors and traditional preparation methods.

Kokore&ccedil; is a traditional dish that's also popular in other countries, especially in Greece, where it's known as kokoretsi. However, there are some differences between the Turkish and Greek versions. In Greek cuisine, people use lamb offal such as lungs, kidneys, hearts, and liver, and in T&uuml;rkiye, they use small and large intestine and sweetbreads without any additional ingredients. For the Turkish version, kokore&ccedil;, the ingredients are rinsed and cleaned, then wrapped onto iron skewers to be grilled over charcoal. Once done, the dish is usually served with bread or tucked inside the bread with various spices such as oregano, cumin, and chili flakes. You can find this dish at street food vendors or in countless kokore&ccedil; restaurants.

Trifle is a classic British dessert made by layering pieces of sponge cake, fruit jams or fruit pur&eacute;e, and egg custard. The sponge is usually soaked in fortified wine or brandy such as sherry, port, or Marsala, and the whole dessert is commonly topped with whipped cream. Trifle is traditionally prepared in glass bowls, and the classic version is often altered with various flavorings and additions such as chocolate, jelly, nuts, glac&eacute; cherries, as well as fruit juice or soft drinks in a non-alcoholic version. The familiar form of trifle was well-known by the Victorian era, but unlike today, it was primarily made to make use of leftover sponge cakes and custards. Similar desserts can be found in Scotland (tipsy laird) and the Southern United States (tipsy cake).
