Description: Patlıcan kebap at an Urfa restaurant in Bahçelievler, Ankara. This "kebap" is one of the culinary conflicts between Gaziantep and Urfa. They both claim it as own, like several other Turkish cuisine items, and both make it delicious. The difference about restaurants of/from Urfa is the use of a special eggplant variety that comes from the Birecik district. This is not the case, as the restaurant owner told me, because those eggplants are not in the market yet. "We should normally use only Birecik eggplants, but if we do not make this kebap out of its season we lose customers" he told me.
