Dondurma is the traditional Turkish ice cream made with mastic and salep, giving it a dense, elastic texture that resists melting. It is famous for the theatrical serving style of street vendors in long vests who spin, stretch and playfully withhold the cone from customers. Short clips naming ice cream dondurma spread online as a shorthand for that performance, turning up in travel clips, food edits and meme soundboards where the vendor trick itself has become instantly recognisable.
