Simit
[citation needed] The word simit comes from Arabic samīd (سميد) "white bread" or "fine flour".[11] Based on Üsküdar court records (Şer’iyye Sicili) dated 1593,[12] the weight and price of simit was standardized for the first time.[13] Jean Brindesi's early 19th-century oil paintings about Istanbul daily life show simit sellers on the streets.In other parts of the Middle East, in Egypt it is consumed with boiled eggs and/or duggah, which is a mixture of herbs used as condiments.[citation needed] Girde (Uygur: Гирде), is a type of bread baked on the walls of tandoori oven, that is very similar to simit, and that the Uyghurs in China see as a characteristic item in their culture-specific kitchen.
