THE EUROPEAN "NEW TOWN" ACROSS THE GOLDEN HORN
Dondurma
typically includes cream, whipped cream, sugar and salep (ground up tuber of orchid)
and mastic (plant resin).
Two
qualities distinguish Turkish ice cream: hard texture and resistance to
melting, brought on by thickening agents that make it chewy.
Dondurma is
commonly sold from street vendor carts and store fronts.
The mixture
is churned regularly with long-handled paddles to keep it workable.
Vendors
often tease the customer by serving the ice cream cone on a stick, and then
taking away the dondurma with the stick by rotating it around, before finally
giving it to the customer.
