Turkish Spices

[fliptheswitch]

What spices would you class as 'Turkish'? Thanks.

I should imagine they use a blend of things like cumin, cinnamon, nutmeg, tamarind, ginger, coriander, saffron and suchlike.

I should imagine mint would be a regular flavour too.

Curry powder comes to mind. According to Turkish Cuisine.org, it's a spice blend consisting of cumin, pepper, turmeric, cloves, cardamom, ginger, nutmeg, tamarind and hot red pepper. Wow.

And don't forget cardamom pods, not only ised in cooking meat dishes and rice based dishes, used in puddings too, custard, and the seeds ground and put in coffee - yum yum

Thanks to all whom replied. Most helpful!
I'm making a Turkish meze tomorrow night and one of the dishes states that I need a "blend of Turkish spices". I've ordered a few and I'll just have to add to taste, I guess. I know what it's supposed to taste like, so fingers crossed.
Once again, many thanks.
