What the creator captured
Kartal Gökberk explored the culinary landscape of Diyarbakır, starting with a traditional breakfast featuring local cheeses and exceptionally fresh pide from a historic oven. He was particularly impressed by the spicy kavurma and the unique local custom of eating yogurt with honey, though he noted the price was double that of similar meals in Urfa. The experience highlighted his preference for high-quality, simple regional ingredients over cluttered 'spread' breakfasts that lead to food waste.
