Kurdish breakfast For many years, kurds have been very famous because of their special breakfast in the villages of Kurdistan. They waste no time getting ready for their day. So waking up before the dawn is the job of the parents and their older children. The father prays and heads to the woods or farm for work and the mother immediately prepares hot water for tea. Usually, most Kurdish breakfast contains Tahini, blue cheese, sheep or cow yogurt, honey from the mountains, Kurdish butter, flat bread and strong tea. Kurds are deeply in love with strong tea. Some rich families can have jam fresh milk and grilled liver because they own ship and cows.

Typical kurds like sheep yogurt which is very delicious with strong tea. What surprise most people is the strange way of making blue cheese. Grandmother’s recipe can be weird but it is the original way of making blue cheese. Firstly, yogurt is put in animal skin until all the oil and fat is removed. Then it is put under ground for the whole season of winter. Finally, it is taken out and enjoyed next breakfast. Although some people are not fond of the smell, they still eat it. Eating butter for breakfast can be very rare because it is very expansive in Kurdistan. It is not only expansive, but it is also hard finding the best quality. Kurdish butter should be stored in the freezer.

Tahini it is mostly eaten with date syrup which is really famous in Badine villages. It is said to be good for health. The best tahini is found in Amedye which is in Duhok, due to its rich taste. In every house there is jig jam. People in the village make it themselves which is really popular. It is really hard to find original honey now a days. Especially, the healthy one. In the villages there is a lot of honey but very expensive. Although, you can find it easily in any house in the villages. Villagers like to share things for free between themselves.

Kurds are literally in love with black strong tea. Not only do they drink it with breakfast, but they also drink it after every meal. Some people like to drink it with milk for breakfast as well. Fresh milk is drank with breakfast too. They make their kids drink a cup every day even if they do not like it.

In old times, especially in villages, people did not buy meat. Families owned at least five sheep or cows so they enjoyed their breakfast with grilled liver that made Kurdish man stronger and heathier.
