  • part of the Eastern Mediterranean cultural continuum

    this sounds like a great diplomatic way of phrasing the foods that have no specific origin during the era of the ottoman empire. I mean, some things are recent enough to be labelled turkish, or at least turkic, but others are uncertain enough to deserve this moniker.

    I’ll tell you one thing though… none of that food is german, no matter what the walking Berliners will tell you about Döner Kebap.


  • that sounds awesome! It’s sad what happened to your mother, but time affects us all.

    Maybe you could give mantı a go, you might have the dexterity and patience to do it and it might be a fun experience for you, especially if you share it with your mom afterwards or spend some time with her as you make the mantı.

    you guys seem very cultured, thank you for sharing.




  • I think it’s a mix of staleness and philo dough quality. The imported turkish stuff has to be made, packaged, transported etc , it gets cooled, whatever and takes ages to get to you. Meanwhile the dough is getting stale and absorbing too much of the syrup, so it becomes lower quality. Also, as you point out, it’s mass produced.

    Also, the homemade greek stuff probably starts out with higher quality philo dough, and is made fresh that morning.

    Not to say the greeks, armenians , syrians or whatevers don’t have the capacity to make better baklava, I’m sure they all have great chefs.
