Fodor's Expert Review Halk Etli Ekmek
$
Konya
Dinner
Etli ekmek, literally "bread with meat," is the dish most associated with Konya, and those served at Halk Etliekmek are nearly three feet long. Despite its intimidating length, etli ekmek is paper thin: a delicate mixture of minced meat and spices spread over an almost wafer-like piece of pide (flatbread) and topped with butter. To eat it like a local, fold it lengthwise, and use your hands. Be sure to wash it down with a glass of açık ayran, the Turkish yogurt drink.
