One of the lesser known contributions of the Turks to world civilization is their cuisine, which many consider to be as important as French and Chinese. Turkish cuisine is a product of their lengthy presence at the crossroads of the spice trade, an affluent and enduring society, and cultural influences from the Mediterranean, India, and the Middle East. Turkish cuisine in turn has had an enormous influence over West Asian/Eastern European cooking.
