Baklava is a dessert pastry of which country?

baklava is Greek

Greece and Turkey will argue til the end time where this dessert originates

Grew up across the street from a wonderful Greek family who made the best baklava one could imagine.

Had to choose Turkey, as Greece wasn't in the options.

Read the whole wiki before making a question. "the history of baklava is not well documented, its current form was PROBABLY developed in the imperial kitchens of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul."

millwallmarty, Never seen Baklava in a kebab shop. The men who sell it at one of the street market stalls here are Greek though. Only to be expected mind you - the Greeks and Turks are always at loggerheads over who Baklava actually 'belongs' to.

Like many in the comments, I too have never heard of it being anything other than Greek.

ElementalBurn4, Countries near each other usually share similar foods with different names. Turkey & Greece are close to each other so sharing a type of dessert isn't unusual, keeping the same name for the variations that evolved is.

docnick1, baklava is Turkish as well. Kai tourkikos einai OK. Eina xazo na malwnoume me tous tourkous gia Ena gluko. Turkish make it differently with pistachios and much more sirup.

I make baklava for Christmas. Yummy, yummy, yummy; but bad for my borderline diabetes.

moose, it's like Australia & new Zealand fighting over where the pavlova originated from

Turkey along with Bulgaria, Greece, Macedonia, Armenia, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, Serbia, Israel, Iran, and Azerbaijan. And I probably left someone off the list.
