TasteAtlas's list of "The Best Offal Dishes in the World" has once again angered the Turks. The fact that Greece's kokorets, inspired by the Turkish kokorec, ranks higher on the list has led to comments on social media such as "Hey, Greece is copying" and "How can a knockoff surpass the original?"
The list of "The Best Offal Dishes in the World" announced by TasteAtlas has become a topic of humor and debate on social media rather than in gastronomy. The high ranking of Greece's Kokoretsi in the list has led to comments in Turkey such as "Greece is copying again."
At the top of the list is Peru's Anticuchos de corazon, while Greece's Kokoretsi takes the second place. Turkey found its place in fifth with liver wrap and sixth with kokoreç.
SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTED: "TEACHER, GREECE IS COPYING"
After the publication of the list, thousands of users on social media reacted to the situation. Among the comments were,
"Teacher, Greece is copying,"
"How can a fake surpass the original?"
"After baklava, is kokoreç too?"
Many users emphasized that kokoreç is synonymous with street culture in Turkey, while they mocked Greece for claiming a similar flavor.
