What? Could you explain that, please? I thought coffee was originally used in Africa.

many think this is greek coffee

nah! Turkish 👀

I thought coffee was originally used in Africa.

I'm not sure about the origin, but from what I read - Turkish coffee was brought from Yemen during the Ottoman time, then spread into Europe. @0xbitcoiner

Ah, I see what you mean. You're saying that the Greeks copied the way of making and drinking coffee, right?

I think no need to argue about the origins of certain things, especially many things are so mixed up in this part of the world. 👀 ( many "Turkish" things are actually the Turks learned form Persian or the East. )

why not get the best from everywhere and enjoy!

but do you really have good honey in the Balkan?

I'm trying to search where to get the best of all the necessaries, e.g. olive and honey is a MUST in life. 👀

oh yeah, we have excellent honey,

like which area? Turkey have quite good honey too, but I wonder if they name it Balkan, that must meant something. 🤔

and same thing in Turkey, the best stuff is from the small villages!

the best olive oil in the world comes from Istra region in Croatia, of course, small villages, old olive oil makers that don't compromise. for honey the region doesn't matter that much, it's more important how the beekeeper works. the turkish called it land of blood and honey because they tried for centuries to conquer it for it's natural resources but had a very hard time doing so
