Özet:

The English word “folk-lor” is a combination of two words, which means “folk” (Lore) and is summarized in the form of public knowledge. Through this field of work, it is possible to study and evaluate societies from certain aspects. Folkloric studies include local habits, traditions and habits, types of nutrition, lifestyle. Folklore, which is part of sociology, is now working towards the meaning we define throughout the world. When a person needs clothes, housing, protection, there is a separate place between them to feed. Animals need some foods to live. The reflection of the nutritional characteristics on people shows changes in culture, according to the location. The most fundamental components of these changes include the access to food, the supply of the food chain, the elements transmitted according to traditions and appearances. Each culture has a different conception of the kitchen and its taste. This understanding and style appears to us as an important element that reveals the ways of life of the countries, their social identity. It is also possible to say that the Turkish food systems are different from the other countries. We know that the localities also play an effective role in addressing Turkish cuisine from a folklorist point of view. Each place’s unique eating habit and style constitutes the basic characteristics of that place. Thus, it is much more convenient to understand how countries are influenced by each other in terms of nutrition, how they perceive the similarities and differences that food culture brings. The rich ingredients in the Turkish cuisine are actually a summary of a rich folklore heritage. In our article, we will make a short assessment from a folklorist point of view, referring to certain features of Turkish cuisine.
