Quoting peacetrain

I was at someone´s home in Turkey recently.  The 70 year old mother of the house prepared a wonderful meal.  On the table was what looked like thin flakes of brown pastry, which I ate.  When I asked what it was I was told haş/haşhaş (I don´t know how it is pronounced or spelt as I was too busy choking at the response and everyone was laughing.

 

So . . . will someone please clarify?  Was I in fact, in the home of the matriarch of some mafia family, plying their trade in suspect substances?

 

Well it tasted fine .

 

Perhaps it was hemp seeds. It´s used widely in cooking. It is not anything that would make you high at all. In fact it has a great deal of vitamines and minerals

Thats the seeds of hashish, its used in many floury foods especially in Aegean region. Btw drugs made from the coverings of hashish. I read somewhere it has an aphrodisiacal effect on women when they eat foods with hashish {#lang_emotions_smile}.

Well I know I ate a great many black seeds because the shaker, full of them, was always on the table at meal times and my friend said they were very nutritional.

 

Peace!

I was just thinking do you have buffets in your country?  Anyone?

 

 Yes we have lots of small buffets in our country... It goes great to have a sousage sandwich with mayanoise after a tiring work in the morning with no breakfast

It is called "Hashashli". and traditonally done in Agean and Middle-Black Sea regions.

 

It is a kind of chorek/pastry/bread and quite yummy. Flour, water, salt, oil and pounded hashash seeds are used to make it.

 

Hashash seeds are a normal vegeterian material used in traditional dishes/pastries. AND IT IS NOT A DRUG. There are two types of Hashash seeds; one black and grey. Both types are used in the kitchens if they are pounded.

 

My mother does it quite frequently and I love it. I hope my wife will learn it. Althought She learned to bake "Keshkek", I do not think she will learn to bake "Hashasli".

 

(And "Baklali Yaprak Sarmasi") these three are famous Amasya dishes.

 Thanks WW.  I was quite sure I wasn´t eating a drug, but my friends were teasing me.
