"Coffee should be
black as hell,
strong as death,
and as sweet as love."
- A Turkish Proverb
Turkish coffee and the most necessary accessories.
Unseparable part of drinking Turkish coffee is fortune telling. When there is nothing left to drink in the cup, you turn it head over feet and watch carefully what you see inside of your cup and plate. There is a traditional Turkish saying for doing it:Kahve Pir
Kalbime Gir
Kalbimden Çık
Fincana Gir
Neyse Halim
Çıksın Falim
Another Turkish coffee tradition is connected with the first visit that the boy pays to the family of his beloved girl for the first time. During that visit the girl prepares coffee for everybody but instead of adding sugar to the boy's cup, she put salt. If the boy really loves the girl, he has to drink the coffee. And then they live happy ever after in the house with pink windows (Sena told me that such house is a dream of every Turkish girl)!
Some people say that a cup of coffee and a cigarette should always go together.
