Turkish Semolina PuddingI always find it so interesting how the same recipe is interpreted in different ways in different countries. I wonder was one influenced by another? Maybe they came in contact with each other via trade? Which was the first country to create the recipe? Or was it much more basic in that each country just figures out on their own the best way to utilize their natural resources of produce and grains. Maybe some day when I am much older and have time to do research..I’ll look into it…I think that would make an interesting book to read, don’t you?

You’ll find several different versions of similar recipes from different countries here on this site…especially if it’s something I really like. There are about 4 different version of polenta already posted here from countries as far reaching as Brazil and Zimbabwe. I love creamy grain based dishes like polenta.

Today’s dish is similar except that when chilled it becomes firm. I have already done the Dutch version of semolina pudding here and the Finnish version here. Now it’s time for the Turkish version. I wonder who created it first?
