The 'stew', which is a tradition in Kayseri and eaten instead of breakfast on holiday mornings, and will take its place on the table this year as well.
This tradition, which has been going on for years, is done by gathering in the house of the eldest of the family. The feature that distinguishes the stew from the chickpea dish is the use of plenty of red meat and onions.
Along with the stew, rice pilaf made with butter and compote of grapes or apricots are definitely included. At the table set after the morning feast prayer, it is among the holiday customs of Kayseri that the elders of the family start the meal first and others wait for them.
