The reason behind a strange Turkish tradition
Amongt a small handful of things, coffee is a word that would make any face light up. Almost every country has their own unique way of making and serving it.There is no doubt that coffee is engraved heavily in the Turkish culture. Any Turkish person knows that within a few minutes upon being welcomed into someones home, they are asked if they'd like their coffee Sade (no sugar) orta (a little bit of sugar) or sekerli (super sweet) Take note ladies; if he asks for his coffee to be sekerli , then he's not manly enough. This leads me to the main topic. A strange tradition as it may appear. Traditionally, when a couple decide they want to get married, the groom’s family visit the bride’s family to ask for her hand in marriage. This is where the bride serves everyone a normal coffee.. except for the groom that is. Instead, he gets served a coffee with salt added to it. (if this isn't a perfect indication as to how marriage will be I don't know what is ) ...just kid
