Kumru: İzmir's classic sandwich
The İzmir version of the widely known sesame bread sandwich is called 'kumru' (dove), as its shape resembles a bird. This bread, made with chickpea yeast, is filled with İzmir 'tulum' cheese, green pepper and tomato. Served cold, the sandwich has been a breakfast staple for about 150 years in İzmir, along with boyoz and gevrek.

'boyoz' – you'll love it
Another wonderful classic İzmir bite is 'boyoz'. Taking its name from the Spanish word "bollos" (small loaves or bundles), this pastry entered the İzmir culinary repertoire in 1492, brought to the area by Sephardic Jews immigrating from Spain. 'Boyoz', with a history of more than 500 years, is made with a dough of wheat flour, oil, water and salt. Similar to puff pastry, the dough is rolled into a hollow, round shape and served plain or filled with cheese or spinach. The delectable pastry, identified with İzmir, can be found throughout the city. It is considered a classic breakfast-to-go in İzmir and is usually eaten with a boiled egg.
In İzmir, the simit is gevrek

Stuffed mussels: An İzmir essential

An "offal" craving: Kokoreç
Kokoreç, a favourite street delicacy in Türkiye, consists of sheep or lamb intestines stuffed with sweetbreads. Spiced, skewered and grilled, the tasty dish is finely chopped and then served between half or a quarter of a loaf of bread. İzmir-style kokoreç is slightly different – it tends to leave out tomatoes and spices to allow the full flavour of the kokoreç to emerge. In addition, the skewered meat is cut into rings and then chopped into large pieces.
