This ALL ABOUT TURKISH BREAKFAST thread is inspired by @DizzyForDizi and my love for breakfast as a Turkish girl. I hope you enjoy this and sorry if this makes you hungry, be sure to prepare some snacks before you read this! #TurkishBreakfast ++ 
++ The name breakfast translates to KAHVALTI in Turkish which comes from Kahve-altı (under coffee) because the Ottomans in 18th century had the habit of eating smth before moving on to the 1st coffee of the day. Usually this would be soup or cheese, jam, bread or some pastry. ++
++ Since the Seljuk Empire Turks ate two meals a day. The first would be kahvaltı and they would eat it in "kuşluk" (mid-morning) time which starts 45 mins after the sun rises and ends 20 minutes before noon. The last meal would be a dinner they ate before sunset.++
