I think lahmacun's origins are at least more complicated than just Turkish. Even the name means "meat with dough" in Arabic.
As you said it was invented in many places though.
- mrtksn 3y agoSure, due to the history of the region(which is old as the history of humanity and religions) it's really not easy to attribute anything to any particular civilisation. It's almost a sport to argue over the origin of the dish between Greeks, Turks and Arabs.
- sirfz 3y agoIndeed, lahmacun (lahmajoon) clearly comes from Arabic "lahm b ajin" (meat with bread) which is just another variation of the Mankoushe (منقوشة) - a flat bread with different toppings such as thyme, cheese and the famous meat variation.
