Diş Buğday

Just listen to the song... to live with someone but in love with someone else.. how sad is that? anyway..i just hope none of us will have to go thru that.. the song is sad indeed..i just love the tune of it..:0)....

Back to the topic... can u guess what the picture below is??

Yup.. that is *buğday*.. or wheat we call it in English.. *diş* means tooth.. so *diş buğday* means *wheat tooth*..It is a tradition in the türkish community to have this day for the baby after the sighting of the baby's first tooth.. The rule is.. whoever first sight the tooth will owe the baby a gift..and then diş buğday will be held among the family members to celebrate the event...why wheat? why not rice..from what Afife teyze told me.. in the olden days.. wheat was cheap.. it could be found everywhere which is understandable of course since bread is the staple food of türks...teeth and wheat..i think it represents the connection of the teeth n eating the solid food for the baby..Food will be served for diş buğday day and the one menu will be served as well... yup! the picture above suggest it already...already boiled wheat normally sprinkled with salt..It is also normal for a piece of gold to be put inside the wheat bowl so that the person who spoons the wheat onto his plate and find the gold in his or her wheat gets to keep the gold ...

True enough..we had one yesterday.. this time it was for the youngest baby in the family.. minik mustafa....We had cookies...cake... rice stuffed in vine leaves..and a few others (forgot to snap the photo).. and also we had a birthday cake for Kerim..the dad of the diş buğday child...(Doğum gunu kutlu olsun kerim!)..It was held at baba's with all the members of the family present.. Boiled wheat was there of course.. instead of eating it just plainly with salt.. halit n i had eaten it with rus salatası (a salad with mayonaise).. it was definitely better tasting!!...Let us feast out eyes on the photos.....and by the way..NO one GOT the Gold!! hehehehe


The boy of the Day

The difficulty of snapping this snap is undescribable..he just wont sit still!!



The difficulty of feeding a baby!!


Ye minik mustafa ye!

Cute sungguh your nephew tu, Simah. Thanks for sharing, it is interesting to read about this Turkish culture. You pulak ... looks like you have no problem absorbing and practising their culture. Memang adaptable SImah ni :-)

The song that's playing - anak2 I memang suka :-)

*****tu namanya tipu sunat hehehe..selalunya the mom or the dad yg first nampak the first tooth ni..tapi kekadang depa tipu jugak bagi atok dia ka..nenek dia ka nampak dulu..utk dapat hadiah *chuckles*..:0)

kak elle
*******that cutie yg penting tak nangis udah akak ...nak tengok dia senyum tu memang orang yg bertuah ja dapat tengok :0)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

syikin
******nak nak..nak resepi.. mesti ramai yg interested nih..:0)


budak ni is the only child..mak dia ada kidney problem..memang beranak this one baby pun dah hampir mencabut nyawa dia..a very precious baby for them..

sharing is good.. apa gunyanya ada blog kalu tak nak share experience kan?

halil tak tahan riuh pikuk pun kena tahan la heheheeh..they r coming and stay at our house till they leave on the 15th..so for 2 nights our house will be crowded :0)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
hatice pun suka sangat lagu ni..dia dah hampir separuh hafal dah lagu ni...but rasa akward pulak when i have to explain the content of the song..

i am married to a turkish guy..nak tak nak memang kena adapt la kan akak :0).. but i have to say that inter culture marriage is not for the faint heart..loads of adaptation while trying to keep one's own culture intact..
