Ashure

Okay, so Ashure is a special dessert that some people make in Turkey. It's also called Noah's Pudding because it's based on a story from the Bible about Noah and the flood.

So, in the story, Noah was on a big boat with lots of different animals, and they were stuck together for a long time. When they finally got off the boat, Noah wanted to make a special dish to celebrate. But he didn't have a lot of ingredients to choose from, so he used whatever he could find on the boat to make a pudding.

Nowadays, people in Turkey still make Ashure to remember that story. It's a bit like a pudding or a porridge, and it's made with lots of different ingredients, like grains, beans, fruits, nuts, and spices. The idea is to use whatever you have in your pantry and create something special and unique.

And the best part about Ashure is that you can share it with your friends and family! When people make Ashure, they often give some to their neighbors or bring it to a community center as a gesture of kindness and goodwill. So it's not just about making something delicious, it's also about spreading love and joy.
