It is eaten by Arab, "persian" and Eastern European cultures (e. Turkey).

Is turkey considered an Eastern European country though? Generally that term is associated with the Slavic countries. I mean it is in Eastern Europe but it’s more a Balkan country if we want to associate it to a region. Baklava is definitely not part of the cuisine in Slavic households.

I need a half-sugar version of Baklava because the last few times I've had it I could barely eat any of it because it was so damn sweet.

I enjoy the texture of it though.

I like the texture a lot but they really gotta chill on the sugar. It's OD.

Turkey is in southeast Europe.

Balkan culture is a melting pot which is influenced by Ottoman, Mediterranian and Arabic/Muslim culture. So it wouldn't be weird for Baklava to be eaten in for example, a Bosnian household.

I personally wouldn't consider Turkey a south eastern European country. 90% of it's land area is east of the Bosphorus and is culturally more similar to other central Asian Turkic regions or even the Middle East than any where in Europe.

Anywho, I thought the dessert originated in Ukraine or something.

Originated in Turkey during the ottoman empire then modified by the Greek. The recipe was spread throughout the Arab and Eastern European cultures including many "Slavic countries" like Bosnia.

Turkey sits on the border of many cultures and religions including Eastern European and Arab. It is in very close proximity to many countries we consider "slavic".

What are some landfoods and/or airfoods that you also hate?

I don't like pork chops.

Bad memories from my childhood.

 

[lawdog1]

Even when I was eating meat, never was big on lamb. It’s ok, but never had it and thought,
“Man, this is really delicious.”

 

[heelsandeers]

I enjoy lamb but it's far from beef/pork tier imo

I'm not sure I've ever had a really good pork chop

[s0lefunk]

Made lamb ragu twice. While it turned out good, both times I thought I wished I used beef.

[DCAllAfrican]

As with anything, it depends on the situation.

Do you need something quick that you can trust?

Are you getting something to hold you over until later?

I don't think it is a "Nah, I'll never do that" type of thing at all.

But I would try to avoid it as much as possible.

 

[heelsandeers]

I don't really count fast food. sometimes you just need to eat something

if you're planning out a meal in advance and going somewhere you can eat at home that's pretty wack
