Laz Borek
Although it is called a pastry, it is a dessert with milk pudding; it represents Rize's place in special occasions, and its origins are not definitively dated.
Why this: Sweet → milk-based · Spiced → with black pepper · Filling → medium
Table balance
To drink
Unsweetened Turkish coffee or plain brewed tea — it resets the palate after syrup.
Easy to miss
Skip sweet drinks next to a syrupy dessert — they flatten it. Plain water carries it better.
