Yesterday was the first day of the eid so Eid mubarak everyone!
I wanted to tell you about the typical eid routine in Turkey for those who have no idea about it.
Well on the first day, people woke up around 7:00 am right before the eid pray which is called salat al eid is prayed and wear the clean and new clothes they buy for eid. They then go to the oldest person’s house, which is generally the grandparent’s, and wait my grandpha and other men to come from the mosque then have a family breakfast with all the family members, aunts and cousins included. During the whole eid day the children not the home owner if she/he is old, serve some food to guests who come to visit the house owners for eid. Normally the food includes baklava, sarma(stuffed grape leaves), börek(Pastry filled with spinach) , ayran and black tea
What we served out guests yesderday is below with pictures;
Baklava, which is the symbol of Eid in Turkey.
Then this stuffed grape leaves which
we call as ‘sarma’
Pastry filled with spinach, we also call
it bosnian pita since my grandma is bosnian.
And also soup for those who want
And as for the beverage;
Black tea/ Turkish tea as some call
And ayran
If you ever consider coming to Turkey, make sure you come during the Eid! 🙂
