Noah's Pudding , Symbol of Togetherness and Friendship
It's only January and Pink Party Nostalgia is already in the air, a party that brings together a United Nations of cultures and food, a gathering often held on , luck has it , stormy , wintry evenings somewhere in Central New Jersey. It's a time of expanded fun, a gathering where Turkish meets Italian , and Chinese meets Braziilan and food meets song meets dance.
So yesterday when I saw the Facebook post that the hosts Miriam and Erbil had shared of a beautiful festive dish , my anxiety about the Party was not just a hunch , it was fully warranted, as if I had a sixth sense predicting what I was about to come across.
So , I reacted, A quick note out to Miriam about sharing this wonderful dessert dish with my readers, and , et voila, permission granted, picture and story, all in my in box within minutes.
It turns out that Ashure, a pudding made grains, fresh and nuts, topped with vivid and crispy pomegranate seeds, and shredded coconut, a true Turkish delight, has a very interesting story . We are told, from that great authoritative source in the cloud that is Wikipedia:
What wonderful fact. Can you imagine! Noah , a common ancestor , respected across many cultures and religions and the legend of Mount Ararat, all coming together in a traditional dish. The case for a new dessert, needs no more. It's now added to my recipe box, and yes, special thanks to my good friends Miriam and Erbil.
Salute !

| Ashure , Noah's Pudding |
It turns out that Ashure, a pudding made grains, fresh and nuts, topped with vivid and crispy pomegranate seeds, and shredded coconut, a true Turkish delight, has a very interesting story . We are told, from that great authoritative source in the cloud that is Wikipedia:
In anecdotal history, it is claimed that when Noah's Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat, Masis sar in northeastern modern-day Turkey, Noah's family celebrated with a special dish. Since their supplies were nearly exhausted, what was left (primarily grains, dried fruits and the like) was cooked together to form a pudding, what is now call Ashure.
What wonderful fact. Can you imagine! Noah , a common ancestor , respected across many cultures and religions and the legend of Mount Ararat, all coming together in a traditional dish. The case for a new dessert, needs no more. It's now added to my recipe box, and yes, special thanks to my good friends Miriam and Erbil.
