It seems that for some reason food historians think Turks invented most Anatolian, Caucasian and Persian food (from baklava to khachapuri to doner to manti to basturma to kebabs to pilafs to many types of breads). IF this is true what did the ancient Byzantines and Sassanids eat prior to Turks taking over their lands?
Also is it true Turkish manti is the ancestor of Slavic dumplings? The competing theory is that Persian traders spread a dish called joshpara to Fino-Ugric people who spread that to Slavs (but there are theories Persian joshpara is turkic too?). But that doesn't seem plausible to me.
Thanks. I find food history very interesting for some reason.
