Turkish breakfast
Ottoman morning spread
Turkish breakfast is an elaborate morning meal featuring an array of small dishes served together: cheeses, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, honey, jams, and fresh bread.
The spread emphasizes variety and sharing rather than a single main dish.
We lingered over Turkish breakfast for two hours.
The style has influenced brunch culture in many cities.
