How many of you have eaten Turkish Ice Creams?
I am talking about the one where the vendors perform the tricks with the buyer while giving them Ice cream cones.
It is a special type of technique and that's what differs them from other types of ice creams. They are unique and people are willing to pay higher to them than the normal icecream.
Real Turkish traditional ice cream isn't like other ice creams, it is creamy and has a flower flavour. The most famous one and the most flavour-rich one is Maras Dondurmasi, made with Salep, the ground-up roots of a wild orchid native to Turkey.
Turkish Ice Cream vendors are not like any other vendor you find in your neighborhood. Turkish Ice Cream vendors are famous with their tricks, playing and messing around with customers.
When you visit an ice cream shop you will find a cart in front of it and a vendor knead and pound away at the dessert all day with long metal rods, working it like a bread dough ice cream in the cart, The salesmen wear regional dress costumes from the Kahramanmaraş area which is the origin of Turkish traditional ice cream and when you come to buy a scoop, the vendor break out their showoff and put on an act, utilizing the peculiar qualities of dondurma to perform a seamless series of magic tricks. Now, You have to work for your cone while laughing and having fun. The vendor will start a competition between you and him, you can actually touch the cone or even hold it but never take it, every single time the vendor will trick you with a move of him.
He will let you think that it’s about to fall down, stick it to your nose, and confuse you with his tricks. Whenever you think you are closer to his ice cream cone, the vendor would definitely fake you out with another trick. It is a lesson in patience.
I have experienced it as a customer and it was really funny and it just puts a smile on your face.
