Get on the waiting list for my upcoming book and try the mersu recipe while you're waiting. Here's the link www.tableofgods.com/mersu-yt. Don't forget to tell me how it tasted :)
This sounds delicious. Real, nutritious food. Even their sweets were full of nutrition.
Thanks for watching :)
Perhaps you should have tried roasting the onions first. Caramelized onions and garlic have totally different flavor profiles. They loose their pungent taste and develop a sublime sweetness. Sounds delicious in any case.
We tried roasting, frying, and even deep frying, but nothing worked. With onions, the freshness of the cake disappeared. Hard to explain hehe, but if you try it, you'll understand what I mean :)
@@tableofgods I wonder if using a little bit of green onion or some chives would work, since they're lighter on the flavor. But I don't know what they had access to, and I wont be able to try this for a while.
@@Halinspark Thank you for your comment. Not sure if we tried with green onion. Have to check my notes, hehe. Let me know if you ever try it :)
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great production and execution, you did an amazing job!
Thank you!
Loved the video! Ancient Mesopotamia is a fascination of mine and I've already been adding more of their food to my diet, and here's a new delicious desert, so thanks for sharing! Subscribed and waiting for more videos!
So glad to hear! More is on the way! :)
Very cool, subscribed. :)
Kleycha origins 💖
great information
We also use cardamom in pastries in Scandinavia.
I know, I live in Stockholm :)
Great production
Thank you!
Also I can't remember if I commented on it, but one way these cookies are made today is by mashing up dates and frying them lightly in some butter, while smashing them around, to make a paste, and working in some rosewater/cardamom, whatever you like. The fried paste is then stuffed in the cookie. That might be easier to handle than date syrup. Just a suggestion!
Hmmm, interesting. Never heard of it. Definitely have to try it at some point!
When is your cookbook going to be available??
In the spring of 2024 :) You'll get notified if you sign up on the waiting list at tableofgods.com :)

It's coming, I promise! Meanwhile, you can sign up for the waiting list here and make yourself some Mersu :D www.tableofgods.com/mersu-yt
Zimri-Lim. if i remember correctly, wasnt he the king of the lands just north west of babylon, who threatened at the time babylon and refused to help them in their wars? i think if i remember correctly, he went to babylon telling them if they feared a certain someone (dont remember names, learned about this a long time ago) who had 4 kings following him, then they should also fear him (Zimri-Lim) because he had something like 12 kings who followed him.. i dont remember the story verbatim but im nearly positive that's who Zimri-Lim was. he then turned his back on babylon and after babylon won their tough war, they turned to Zimri-Lim's lands and took them as well since he refused to help babylon. feel free to correct me if im wrong.
thaaaat's right! i remember now, it was during Hammurabi's reign that this all happened with Zimri-Lim.. i believe the reason he sacked and burned the city was to make a statement that none in that area of Mesopotamia at that time were more powerful than Babylon and Hammurabi wanted to make an example of Zimri-Lim whose capital was Mari, so Hammurabi sacked and burned Mari as an example/show of force.
@@07Hawkeye May very well be the case. Scholars still don't know why Hammurabi did it for sure.
What is your full name
i dont like the idea of date syrup because that means its processed. I wonder if I used chopped dates instead with a bit more honey if that would be better.
But people in Mesopotamia processed dates into date syrup since time immemorial. It's not that hard to do really :) And they not only used it for food purposes, but also for the making of beer :)
@@tableofgods ok then i will have to look for date syrup. never heard of it before. 🙂
@@vlobascio Good luck! In case you can't find it, just google how to turn dates into date syrup 🙂
Mersu those days are mashed potato’s
Towdi ğalabe 🙏 🧡 💛 💚
Lo mede :)
So, basically, it looks like a cookie in Iraq today 🙃 (And glad the secret isn't onions!)
My grandma cook with onions and garlic and cook in oil we she called grdaia mqshaܩܪܕܗ ܡܫܚܐ spicy sumac time drink beer or Araq as maza
