Here we have to go much further back to the years of Alexander the Great and make a small cultural trip to various parts of the Middle East before reaching our city. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n

They passed it to the Asia Minor as the closest people with a common love for rice and reached us through Byzantium. Now the \u201cmarriage\u201d of flavors and ingredients can have many varieties, that is, there are many types of stuffed. In our city, stuffed calamari is one of our favorites. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n
