Arapgir kızartması, which is a meat dish made by frying bone-in meat obtained from the loin or neck of sheep, lamb, or goat in melted butter over low heat—either plain or with sauce—until the entire surface is browned, is among the traditional delicacies of the district and preserves cultural heritage as a special dish served at weddings.
HISTORIC DELICACY TO BE PASSED ON TO FUTURE GENERATIONS
As an important element of the local cuisine, Arapgir kızartması will both contribute to the region's gastronomy tourism and be passed on to future generations in its original form.
