“El ke alarga la meza, Alarga la vida.” This is a Sephardic Ladino expression, emphasizing the importance of long convivial tables. It can be translated as the ones who have a long-crowded table, elongates their life, or one who expands the table, expands life, or simply the more the merrier! The story of Sephardic Jews became a demonstration of this expression. Their culinary culture continues to survive here in Türkiye, a legacy reaching from across the other side of the Mediterranean, from the Iberian Peninsula to Anatolia.
