Yogurt has been consumed in both Turkey and Greece for centuries, and both countries claim to have invented it. However, the consensus is that yogurt was first made in Central Asia or the Middle East and then spread to both countries. Until the early 20th century, yogurt was mainly consumed in these regions and was not well-known in the West.
In Turkey, yogurt is called "yoğurt" and is a staple food in Turkish cuisine. It is commonly used as a condiment, mixed with herbs or spices, or served as a sauce. Yogurt is also the main ingredient in dishes such as cacık, a refreshing yogurt and cucumber dip.
In Greece, yogurt is called "yiaourti" and is also a staple in Greek cuisine. Greek yogurt is known for its thicker and creamier texture, which is achieved by straining out the liquid whey. It is often consumed on its own, with honey or fruit, or used as a base for tzatziki sauce.
In summary, while the origin of yogurt is not exclusively attributed to either Turkey or Greece, both countries have a long history of enjoying and incorporating yogurt into their traditional cuisine.
