Italy

Even though tiramis&ugrave; is actually a fairly recent invention, this dessert of coffee-soaked ladyfingers layered with mascarpone cream enjoys an iconic status among Italian desserts. Its name stems from the phrase tirami s&ugrave;, an Italian expression which literally means pick me up, a reference to the uplifting effects of sugar, liquor, and coffee. The origins of tiramis&ugrave; are heavily disputed between Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, but it is often suggested that the first was made in Veneto in the early 1960s. The earliest documented recipe for tiramis&ugrave; (interestingly, without alcohol!) was printed in the 1981 spring edition of Vin Veneto magazine in an article on coffee-based desserts by Giuseppe Maffioli, a renowned food critic and member of the Italian Academy of Cuisine. However, in August 2017, Friuli-Venezia Giulia's tiramisu was officially added to the list of traditional regional dishes, but a Veneto local won the Tiramisu World Cup in November 2017, so the playing field is somewhat levelled once again. Regardless of these disputes, the perfect tiramis&ugrave; should always deliver a serious caffeine kick from a shot of strong espresso, while brandy-fortified Marsala wine adds a nice sweet buzz. In 2021, Ado Campeol, the owner of the restaurant where tiramis&ugrave; is widely thought to have been invented, has died.

Keşkek is a traditional ceremonial dish made with lamb or chicken meat combined with wheat or barley stew. The mashed wheat or barley is placed in a bowl, followed by a sauce made with butter, meat broth, and pepper flakes, while the meat is placed on top.

In 2011, the dish became a part of UNESCO&rsquo;s Intangible Cultural Heritage of T&uuml;rkiye.

Some people like to add a roux of butter and flour to the soup, followed by a beaten egg, garlic, and lemon juice. Lamb neck, tongue, and brain can also be included in the soup. It's recommended to serve the soup with greens and lots of crusty bread on the side.

The dish is usually made with a combination of eggplants, tomatoes, garlic, bell peppers, ground meat (beef or lamb), onions, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, cumin, red pepper flakes, baking soda, tomato paste, and oil. The eggplants are sliced and placed in a bowl with salted water. The ground meat is mixed with onions, garlic, breadcrumbs, seasonings, and baking soda. The mixture is shaped into meatballs that are placed onto skewers with alternating slices of eggplants. The kebabs are topped with a sauce consisting of tomato paste, oil, salt, and pepper.

Kahvaltı refers to breakfast in Turkish, and it's an essential and often lavish meal in Turkish culture. The word "kahvaltı" is derived from two words: "kahve" (coffee) and "altı" (under/before), which translates to "before coffee." It's a meal that traditionally happens before coffee is consumed, as in the Ottoman times, coffee was considered a beverage to be enjoyed after meals rather than during or before them. Traditional Turkish kahvaltı showcases an expansive array of dishes, typically blending a multitude of flavors, textures, and food categories. The table is adorned with both sweet and savory items, spanning cheeses, olives, vegetables, local breads, eggs, b&ouml;rek, baklava or other sweet pastries, and more, accompanied by hot beverages such as Turkish tea (&ccedil;ay). It is celebrated for its diversity, abundance, and the act of bringing individuals together, often extending for several hours, particularly during weekends and holidays.
