Pide
Unal S - September 18, 2007 03:41:40 PM PST
Hi,
It is called 'pide' in Turkish (not 'pride' as written in article), and yeap it is one of the many Turkish dishes that is not very much known outside Turkey (thanks to the overwhelming focus on kebaps). You can find tens of kinds of 'pides' in Turkey, each different in different parts of Turkey (my favourite: go to Northern Turkey, Karadeniz, to eat the tastiest pides).
It is interesting that pizza, pita and pide all sound similar and they all refer to, more or less, the flat-bread. Who made it first? Italians? Greeks? Turks? Well, we don't really know, that is the job of reseachers. But what we know is they all do it different ways, and that is good! Result: Diverse tastes, happy eaters.
Afiyet olsun ('bon apettit' in Turkish).

actually...this dish did not originate in Turkey, it is an Armenian dish which originated in Armenia, which is right ext to Turkey. The common misconception is that since these cultures have lived next to each other since the 15th century, many aspects of their culture, such as food have blended together. Nonetheless, Armenian style pizza is very delicious, originally it is to be prepared with lamb, however, diaspora Armenians (at least the ones here in America) prepare this dish with beef.
