  1. Yes it is a wonderful taste. As a Turkish citizen I love it. But there is a mistake. Iskender Kebab is not the favorite dish of Alexander the Great. Because its invention is very new. This taste is invented buy Iskender Efendi who lived in Bursa in 19 th century.

  2. The person who mentioned that it was not a favorite dish of Alexander the Great is correct. It is too new of a dish.

  4. wow you are such a retard! just because turkey was founded in 1923 doesnt mean that their food existed before hand... if you didnt realise before the Republic of Turkey they ruled your fat ass for 600 years as the Ottoman Empire. so dont be such a rude cunt

  5. The thing that gave this away as not having any basis in history is the fact that Alexander was born in 356 BCE and tomatoes were not known in the old world until after the voyage of Columbus.
