A Sweet Dessert That Connects
Worlddinner Near East and Caucasus
When the flood was over and land was in sight again, Noah is said to have prepared a dessert with the food left on the ark. This dessert is still called Noah's sweet, Aşure or Anushabur, and is prepared from grains, dry and fresh fruits, and spices. It is a traditional dessert from the Near East and the Caucasus and is even cooked by different religious communities. Armenians prepare their Anushabur during the Christmas season. The dish is also popular among Turkish Jews. For Sunni and Alevi Muslims, the 10th day of the month of Muharram is called "Ashura". On this day, the difficult times of prophets are remembered and Aşure is eaten. Unfortunately, until today there are persistent historical conflicts between the mentioned communities. At this world dinner we would like to show that there are many things that connect the different societies of the Near East and Caucasus in everyday life.
