I'm aspiring turkologist, who has been interested in Turkey since a few years now. I've been hitchhiking there for a 2 months last summer and almost every day I've been eating at small restaurants ran by old turks who serve food for locals. I don't eat meat and I realised very fast that there was a lot of vegetarian options in those restaurants. They usually served similar stuff, which are also really cheap to make, but it always tasted different. It was: pilav, chickpea or beans, some kind of salad and something extra.
It got me thinking that it's literally a form of Polish schnitzel with mizeria (cucumber salad on pic) and boiled potatoes, but with rice and pods or köfte if you eat meat.
I'm seriously interested in cuisine and I can't afford to travel across Europe but I'm pretty sure there has to be a variation of this dish in every European country.

Could be steak or stoofvlees instead of the balls.

Variations of this. Beans may be replaced with cauliflower, red cabbage, Brussels sprouts, or other. Meatball may be replaced with sausage, pork chop, beef stew, etc. Potatoes are rarely replaced with rice. But the absolute #1 here is boiled potatoes, green beans, and a meatball with gravy.

Polish Schnitzel is just Austrian Schnitzel for the poors – Veal is expensive. And both originated in Lombardy.

Probably Iittala Teema plates. Every Finn has one. Iittala Taika dishware are also popular. Badum-tss.

Yes it is as disgusting as it looks. It’s called Fischbrötchen.

You asking for variations of that?
It’s called panados here:

Boiled bacon, cabbage and creamy mash with white or parsley sauce. Just tastes like pure comfort.

Stop showing pictures of potatoes to the Irish – it is cruel to show them what they would have won, had they farmed better.
