Acıbadem kurabiyesi (Turkish: acıbadem kurabiyesi, "bitter almond biscuit") (Almond Macaroons) is a traditional Turkish biscuit made of almonds, sugar and egg whites. The traditional recipes include a small amount of bitter almonds, which gives this cookie its name. Because bitter almonds are not readily available, almond extract is typically used as a substitute. These biscuits are part of the stock-in trade of almost every bakery in Turkey, and, they are seldom made at home

Lahmacun ([ɫahmaˈdʒun]) or lahmajoun (Armenian լահմաջուն lahmaǰun or լահմաջո lahmaǰo), from Arabic: لحم بعجين, lahm bi'ajīn, "meat with dough", is an item of prepared food originating in the early Syrian cuisine of the Levant, consisting of a round, thin piece of dough topped with minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb). Lahmacun is often served sprinkled with lemon juice and wrapped around vegetables, including pickles, tomatoes, peppers, onions, lettuce, and parsley or cilantro; atypical variants may be found employing kebap meat or sauces.Lahmacun can be found in many countries with sizeable Near and Middle Eastern communities - where it is sometimes labeled as Turkish Pizza or Armenian Pizza .[1][2] In Australia there has been a proliferation of kebab and lahmacun take-away restaurants, although it is usually referred to as "Pide", not lahmacun. In Canada there are Armenian, Lebanese, and Turkish restaurants specializing in lahmacun. In many German, Dutch, Belgian, and English towns (North London in particular) there are Turkish-menu restaurants that sell doner kebab and lahmacun. In South America there are Syrian, Turkish and Armenian communities with associated restaurants, and a prepackaged frozen version called "Lehmeyun" (Spanish transliteration of Arabic name) may be found in the markets.
