Baklava
Baklava, which means baklava in Chinese, is a representative work of Turkish desserts and is widely loved by the people. It's my favorite of all the Turkish desserts!
This is a small dessert that originated in the court. In ancient times, those who could eat it belonged to the royal family or the royal family. It is said that Baklava is the favorite of Sudanese afternoon tea. As the “same style of the supreme leader”, it is difficult to think that such a food is not popular.
Anyone who has been to Turkey will be attracted by the spectacular dessert shop windows on the streets of many cities. Pyramids of all kinds of cakes are piled up in the window, most of which is Baklava, which tempts the passers-by.
Baklava's puff pastry is said to have 40 layers, wrapped in walnuts, almonds, pistachios and other nut fillings, cut into delicate squares or diamonds, sent to the oven, and then drizzled with syrup or honey to taste before serving. Taking a bite, the first feeling is crunchy, followed by a strong sweetness soaking into the heart and lungs, full of guilt. But even more exaggerated is that the sweet Turks will also eat it with black tea with two sugar cubes.
The traditional Turkish way of eating Baklava does not require a knife and fork – just pinch it with two fingers, turn the Baklava upside down, put the whole piece in your mouth, and then chew it freely, the taste of honey will spread to your taste buds, and your lips and teeth will be fragrant , straight to the stomach.
There is also a palace roll Saray sarması, the whole thing is made of nuts, with only a single thin layer of meringue wrapped on the outside, it is very thin, but it is full of pistachios, and the fragrance is more intense, I like this very much.
Dessert also has its religious significance – the prophet has long explained that: Faith pours out sweet love, so in the hearts of Turks, baklava can also represent happiness and goodwill.
Baklava is one of the indispensable foods during Ramadan. (Ramadan: Muslims fast in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar every year. After sunrise and before sunset, they fast and abstain from food and water.) This actually originated from an ancient tradition at the turn of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. When they received their quarterly salaries, the king held a grand banquet, and on the fifteenth day of Ramadan every ten soldiers were given a plate of baklava as a reward of the highest rank. The journey from the Royal Palace escorting Baklava to the military camp has gradually evolved into a large-scale celebration, known as the “Baklava Parade”. Today, the Ramadan procession is no longer staged, and baklava is popularized to the public. And such a civilian food has gradually become one of the most important cultural symbols of Turkey in the precipitation of the years.
