Adana Heat
Published on October 2nd, 2009.
When I ordered adana for my main entree during our turkish food trip, what I had in mind is that the taste would ordinarily be like beef shawarma. When it was already served, it exactly looked like beef shawarma. I really had the feeling that my first thoughts were right. Then I started slicing it with a knife, instead of eating it by hand, to compliment the formal setting of the restaurant. The sweet and spicy aroma of the beef and its spices reached my nostrils. Aaahhh, it was such a heavenly scent for me! I poured on some garlic sauce on it and had my first bite. I was struck, chewed slowly and tried to identify the sweet and spicy taste that lingers my mouth. After the first bite, I silently laughed and tried to admit to myself that I was wrong! It doesn’t taste like shawarma! It tastes extraordinarily and it was really a turkish taste that I have never tasted before!
