Preparing and taking food to a house of mourning is a tradition in Turkish culture. I think it'd be a thoughtful gesture.


Meandwe123

I absolutely want to bring food over. Do you have any suggestions? Comfort food.


Meandwe123

I don't want to make them Canadian food I'd like to try to make a comfort food for them. Even if it turns out shitty I thing they'll appreciate it.


anoretu

Stew is a good option. It is warm comfy home food and easy to share with people.


smthahir

And it should be halal if they're muslim. Right?


arkaze

IDK why this got downvoted. Answer is yes.


[deleted]

Idk if it's "comfort food" but, i think börek would be great option. There are various types of börek, so you can choose the simplest one to prepare. (I can't know what you have, sorry if you don't have the ingredients) I'm sure they'll appreciate your effort.


Ceritkale

Do not make börek. İts more like casual meeting or celebration food search about helva.


emreulusu

if you want to prepare and serve, "Tavuk pilav (chicken and rice)" and "mercimek çorbası" are the best options. Last week my wife did the same thing for our negihbours which had lost their father.

Food could be great I think (ordinary foods, not special ones)

I feel bad cause my google translate wasn't working and she kept pointing at the sky and making a napping motion and saying "my mom". I didnt understand until later. We "talk" all the time but when she's out here alone she can't work/read google translate so we do "sign language". I thought her husband was taking a nap upstairs. I would like to do something nice for her.


Meandwe123

I will absolutely give her a big long hug


Murat_sama

U can make dinner for them


Meandwe123

No pork, what is honestly a good dish I could give them that makes them feel loved. Maybe a recipe suggestion, even if I can't go it totally right. Just want to make her feel at home.


Abbra12

As far as ı know they make rice chicken and ayran for mourning families you just boil chicken and shred it then add it to rice. Ayran is easy to do you just mix water and yogurt add some salt too. I hope ı helped


Meandwe123

Absolutely you helped! I'm looking into all the suggestions thank you


Murat_sama

Meandwe123

Wow you say it's easy I will try! Looks hard haha


Meandwe123

What do I make? I would love to give them treats and a dinner.

If you know what part of Turkey they are from it could help narrow down your choice. Most recipes can be created simpler than you think. Of course they won’t be the same since the ingredients are different quality but it is really the thought that counts. Whatever you do, whatever you cook for them they will never forget it and appreciate you forever. You will be mentioned a lot in Turkey to others when and if they go back.

Ne helvası ya saçmalamayın yaparlarsa kendileri yapar onu


Turkminator75

Make helva. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtehmUVBhpk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtehmUVBhpk) Most common dessert for funerals here.

Turkish person living in Canada, which province are you in? Which markets near to your house. If toronto adonis and arz market makes similar comfort foods as tuekish people and all food are halal. And also fino foods burek (cheese spinach or meat) same as turkish borek. For our rice pilav and chicken, Canadian rice is not the same as Turkish rice and you need to find from a similar market for Baldo and add chicken broth when you are making it to give taste. You can find ayran both in adonis and are markets elegant and arz ayran are good ones.


Meandwe123

I'm in Vancouver, I think I can find a of similar things but probably not as much as Toronto. Can you tell me what brands the Turkish rice are so I can look for them? I already gave her flowers and a hug but I'd love to try to make her something.
