Thank you for your comment Christine! I didn’t know that Armenian cuisine has keskek. It has traditionally been made in Turkey for ages. On the other hand, Armenians and we have a lot in common in our cultures as our people lived on the same land for many years. I mean it’s not surprising that both they and we have keskek in our traditions.

I never though that the wedding traditions are so similar to traditional Chinese. To Chinese, the groom’s parents must meet up with the bride’s parents and seek for the agreement too. Regardless of the love between the man and woman, the parents have to agree first and it is normally final. The dish looks new to me. It looks like the dish had it a small village called “rendang”. But this wedding dish definitely look more colorful. Learn alot about the tradition in Turkey and the dish. Thanks for sharing.

As well, I know corn meal can be made much the same way for a creamy polenta consistency!

Hello Zerrin, the cream of wheat is a ground fine white wheat grain, much like polenta/corn meal that you cook in milk with a dash or two of salt on a very low flame so as not to burn the milk or scorch the pot (I always manage to scorch it, no matter!) It cooks up in only a few minutes and thickens as it cooks so you know when it’s done.

I love the shots of the men mashing the wheat in the big cauldrons and I love the insight into Turkish wedding traditions. There’s really so much more than physical labour going in to the preparation of those wedding dishes.
