What the creator captured
Abroad and Hungry was deeply impressed by the rich culinary traditions of Konya, particularly the unique use of local blue cheese and kavurma in dishes like Tandoor Borek and Yağ Somunu. Max Ginestra highlighted the exceptional hospitality of the locals and described the city's food as 'illegal' due to its incredible flavor and texture. His most memorable takeaway was the combination of crispy sesame bread and melted butter found in the region's specialty dough-based dishes.
