So is Xalwaad Somali Turkish Delight

[ZBR]

Did we get it from a culture exchange with the Turks ? Seems very similar

if so I thank them

 

[ZBR]

How it’s made, the ingredients, the look

No it’s not Halwa is not that similar to lokum but is is similar to Halva which is eaten in South Asia the Middle East etc every region has its own style

Turks don't eat it. Only Omanis and Somalis do.

We got it from the ancestors of the reer xamaar banadir ancestors- whether be Omans or Yemenis

Somali. Xalwaad is pretty high tech modern stuff, the Indian old world halwa is made from grains and wheat

Ours is essentially a gummy candy , made from refined sugar and starch, also modern gummy candy being derived from Turkish delight

Seems like we have more cultural exchange with the Turks than we might’ve presumed

It’s also possible we got it from someone who went to Egypt, they’ve been pretty engulfed in Ottoman culture

Thus should be marketed by Somalis interested in catering. Sell these things in the west in fancy boxes with the Somali branding on it. Or include it in your somali cafes and restaurants.

If you look at the ingredients or how it’s made it’s exactly the same you should taste Turkish delight especially the plain ones that are just candy no nuts or fruits
