Those are just the usual, popular foods. My mother once had a friend from Switzerland visit her in southern Turkey. She’d studied gastronomy, specializing in cooking. Her university thesis was about different kinds of cheese and how they’re made. She’d already catalogued 3,000 kinds of cheese from all over Europe and was pretty proud of it.
My grandfather was there too. He just laughed and introduced her to a few kinds of cheese she’d never even heard of. She was blown away. She’d never seen anything like them. She stayed in Turkey for a while and catalogued another 5,000 kinds of cheese there alone.
So I’m not exaggerating.
