whoever makes it....it’s good!
That stuff made properly is VERY good. Go by G-Bob’s Grille in Austin, TX and ask Gabe for some baklava.
I’ve been to Greece and Turkey. It’s a great dessert in both places.
That was long ago, before I stopped eating wheat and sugar.
When did the Greeks and Turks not find something to fight about??
Note to the Turks of Anatolia. The folks of Anatolia were making Baklava in Anatolia - modern day Turkey - for centuries before the Turks arrived and those in Anatolia at the time were speaking and writing Greek - not Turkish.
Note to the Turks of Anatolia - quit steeling the life and customs of the land you now occupy, life and customs of the land long before you got there.
Baklava is Greek, of course!
I’ve eaten it at Greek festivals, and in my Serbian church!
When I visited an Islamic country in 2003—NO baklava (but delicious coffee)!
Oh this is hilarious!
I’m just landing Seattle now after being in Turkey for 8 day, two years ago it was Greece for eight days…
Both make good Baklava but my gut says it’s origins are Greek for sure lol
Last month I was at Tarpon Springs FL and that little Greek sponge diving town has some great Baklava too!
Considering that one people have been native to the area for thousands of years as part of a sophisticated urban culture, and the other are descendants of nomadic horsemen invading from the steppes of Central Asia, and others they enslaved along the way, I think the Greeks invented it.
Ping!
It’s about the only dessert I don’t like. Not a fan of honey.
Then it must be from Cyprus!
Whatever...I cannot brag or lie..but just about everyone who gets to try my Baklava (or Paklava) says it is the best they’ve ever had...sorry...but that’s what they say....not me...
But there are many variations in how the phyllo dough is baked, the shape, the syrup....so lots of room for experimentation and flavor...
