Nowadays, people are more interested in healthy eating and healthy living than before. As a result, they also pay attention to their nutrition. All media and broadcasting organs are making publications on this subject. Although most of the information given here is correct, sometimes information that confuses people's minds is also given. One of the prominent headlines of healthy eating is to start the day with breakfast. According to experts, breakfast should be eaten at most 1 hour after waking up. This is one of the most important rules to follow for a healthy state. Because for elderly, young children and all individuals, food stores continue to work during all night sleep, which is at least 6 hours or longer. It is very important for health that these depleted stores are somehow replenished with waking up in the morning. We need to stay hungry for the body to work in a balanced way. The entire system of our body works with nutrients and energy sources. If any organ does not work properly, many health problems arise. As a result of various studies, it has been revealed that forgetfulness increases and obesity or diabetes is seen in individuals who do not have breakfast.
On the other hand, B vitamins and minerals that have a positive effect on the brain are provided by carbohydrates, vegetables, fruits and cereal cereals taken at breakfast. A student who does not have breakfast performs lower or a staff working at any job may make various errors as a result of distraction. We should have this meal with healthy foods in a way that will provide most of our daily energy from breakfast. Especially, we should prefer whole grain foods as carbohydrates. One of the biggest mistakes made is that people who skip the breakfast meal in an unhealthy way then consume fattier products at lunch and have this meal quickly. In fact, if these people had a nutritious and healthy breakfast, they would not experience this situation. Breakfast is also very important for preventing diseases caused by heart and vascular diseases. Especially for this situation, fatty pastries and fatty pies should not be preferred at breakfast. These products containing high amounts of solid fat cause vascular occlusions in the future. Therefore, having the breakfast meal with foods with high nutritional value and starting the day energetically is very important for your health.
In the light of the oldest data, in the 10th and 11th centuries in Central Asia, there was no meal called breakfast in Turkish culinary culture. There were only two meals a day. One of them was the mid-morning meal. When we look at Turkish culinary history, people would deal with various farming and their animals when they woke up in the morning, and when the sun rose to the height of a spear, it would be mid-morning time. They would deal with their animals and when the sun rose to the height of a spear. After 4-5 hours of work after waking up, tired people would sit at the table and according to the economic situation of the household; they would eat the first meal of the day (mid-morning) with noodle soup, tarhana soup, pastrami, sausage, keşkek or meat pilaf and dairy products, flatbread and bread along with bazlama, cızlama, and kavurma. According to records, the mid-morning time from meal times was divided into three and these were called; Young mid-morning, middle mid-morning and late mid-morning. In the 11th and 23rd centuries, in some segments of Anatolian Seljuks, since Turks also started agriculture and gardening activities, which are the blessings of settled order, they made a transition to a richer breakfast meal by adding boiled or fried egg, fruit varieties and vegetable varieties to their mid-morning tables in addition to meat and meat products, milk and dairy products.
In the 15th and 17th centuries during the Classical Ottoman period, the same habits continued and mid-morning tables were created with meatballs, dolma, börek, compote, jam and various desserts. Considering the financial situations of rural people and people living in cities, we can see that with the opening of the first coffeehouse in 1554, mid-morning tables transformed into even richer forms according to the economic situation of the people. This richness was reflected not only in mid-morning but also in evening meals, or in the Ottoman expression "akşam taam" meaning meals after afternoon. Looking at palace kitchen records, we can see that the habit of eating two meals a day continued in Ottoman palaces as well. From the 18th century onwards, the richness brought by the transition to settled order, as well as the entry of American-origin plants such as tomatoes, corn, green and red peppers into the Ottoman cuisine in the 18th century, and the effect of foods discovered through the development of trade routes cannot be ignored.
Breakfast, which has a special place in Turkish cuisine, is also of great importance for Turkish people. Especially on weekends, Turkish people show special care for breakfast mornings when relatives and families come together. Pastries, sauces, cheeses, various jams and many more various foods take their place on breakfast tables. However, nowadays, outside the home, the number of restaurants that are increasing every day carry out many activities to impress customers with their breakfast menus. Different menus are presented to customers' taste with options such as spread breakfast, open buffet breakfast. Although many people say that the products brought to breakfast tables at restaurants are too much, restaurants bring different products to their breakfast tables to stay one step ahead in competition.
Prices at breakfast tables vary according to the location of the restaurant, the service offered and the quality of the products. While some venues do not charge separately for tea, some venues may charge separately for tea. Water and other drinks coming to the table also vary from restaurant to restaurant. Places where breakfast prices are higher are generally hotels. Services known as late breakfast and called Brunch where different beverage services are made have also become common among restaurants recently.
