Cuisine of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
- Cuisine of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus
Turkish Cypriot cuisine is the cuisine encountered on the island of Cyprus located in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. Turkish Cypriot cuisine is shaped by the island's Mediterranean climate, its geography and history. Reflecting the two dominant populations, Turkish Cypriot cuisine has evolved as a fusion of Turkish cuisine with local twists to well known dishes. Further influences are evident from neibouring countries namely Arabic and Middle Eastern cuisine. There are remnants too of French, [Italian] and Anglo-Saxon influences stemming from the island's occupation by the Luisignan Franks, the Venetians and the British. Modern western cuisine (especially fast food) has an ever increasing influence on the day-to-day diet followed on the island.
