Shane Delia's Spice Journey Turkey S01E08 - Trabzon - A Hungering for Hamsi

Shane journeys north across the Pontic Mountains, to reach the Black Sea port town of Trabzon, where he tracks down a very special fish, known as the hamsi, as well as recipes that do this small, anchovy-like creature, justice.

Shane joins a long and venerable list of adventurers whose epic voyages have landed them in the legendary Black Sea port town of Trabzon. Along the way, Shane undertakes a culinary odyssey, stopping in villages while crossing the Pontic Mountains, to meet mountain folk who share the secrets of perfecting their simplistic food, including sutlac (rice pudding), and kuymak (a cheese dish), which is accompanied by cornbread.
