The Gastronomy Capital of the Black Sea: Samsun

Hosting different civilizations, Samsun has an important culinary culture that reflects the gastronomic richness of the Black Sea Region. This cuisine combines with the air, medicinal plants and cultural heritage of the Black Sea to create a gastronomic mosaic.

When it comes to local flavors of Samsun, one of the first flavors that comes to mind is the famous Bafra pide. The most distinctive feature of this pide, which is unique to the Bafra district of Samsun, is that it is closed, thin, long and has plenty of ingredients. This pide, which has different options such as ground beef, cheese or mixed, gains its unmatched flavor by being baked in traditional stone ovens.

Anchovy, which is among the famous flavors of the Black Sea Region, also has an indispensable place in Samsun cuisine. Anchovy, one of the most important flavors of the Black Sea Region, gains an extraordinary flavor when it is combined with rice. The harmony of rice, spices and anchovies makes anchovy pilaf a special dish that appeals to both the eye and the palate.

One of the local dishes of Samsun is kaz tiridi, which has become a flavor culture that has been kept alive for years. This dish, prepared with the meat of specially raised geese, is often made on special occasions. These famous flavors of Samsun are served with bulgur pilaf and yufka.

In addition, spinach soup, Bafra nokulu, bean corn soup, Katık böreği and kaz asması are among the other prominent flavors of Samsun cuisine.

The minced meat kneaded with salt and baking soda is cooked over a coal fire after resting for a long time.
