One of the city’s best-known dishes, etli ekmek consists of succulently tender slices of lamb served on flaps of soft white bread.
Konya is also known for unfeasibly long pides (Turkish pizzas) intended to be shared. Lucky visitors may also come across tirit, a traditional rice dish made from meat and assorted vegetables.
Konya is also known for its sweets, including cezerye, an old Turkish sweet made from carrots, and pişmaniye which is similar to American cotton candy.
