Where does mega size çiğ köfte come from?
Çiğ köfte is associated with southeastern Turkey, especially the Şanlıurfa and Adıyaman regions. Mega size describes a large serving, not a separate regional recipe, so its exact seasoning and texture depend on the shop making it.

What is the difference between mega size çiğ köfte and Turkish köfte?
Mega size çiğ köfte is a spiced, kneaded bulgur mixture usually served cold and meatless; Turkish köfte generally means seasoned ground meat shaped into patties or balls and cooked. “Mega size” refers to the çiğ köfte portion, not a type of köfte.
How is mega size çiğ köfte traditionally served?
Mega size çiğ köfte is served in small formed portions or as a wrap, typically with lettuce, lemon and pomegranate molasses. Shops may add lavash, herbs and pickles, so ask for these separately if you want to assemble each bite yourself.

Store leftover mega size çiğ köfte in a covered container in the refrigerator and eat it soon. Keep lettuce, herbs and lavash separate so they do not become soggy, and follow the storage instructions if the product came in sealed packaging.
