Creamy Flavors

Does anyone know a word called "kekre"?

Kekre is actually a bitter/sour grass chewed by camels. Kâshgarlı Mahmut said so in his famous Divânu Lügat'it-Türk. It is a dictionary from 1073, you know this work.

Before 1421, Yadigâr-ı Ibni Şerif said "it is convenient to drink a little kekre wine". Muvafık means appropriate. This is actually against the understanding of Islam.

But even in the Qur'an, wine is not immediately forbidden. Even a drop of it is forbidden in its final form, but in the beginning it was allowed.

There is also a definition of taste with a word derived from cakey, they call this taste cakey.

Yes, some wines have a cake-like taste.

Even Evliya Çelebi, in his famous travel book from 1665, mentions that in some parts of Anatolia, wine is called "kekremsi". 

According to the travel book, in the Turkmen dialect, in Bolu and Kahramanmaraş, wine is called kekremsi instead of wine.

Yes, the word kekre is mentioned in the dictionary as an authentic Turkish word. 

Although it is not used much today, there is such a word and for some reason, there is no taste in this definition among the main flavors.

Bitter, sweet, sour, salty. These are the four main tastes. 

There are five types of taste receptors in our tongue. I am talking about the tongue we use as an organ.

The fifth taste is called flavor. Our tongue has a fifth sensor that detects flavor.

Among the basic tastes, sweet, sour and salty can be felt with one sensor each, while bitter is not perceived so clearly. The fourth sensor works a little differently, bitter flavors can be perceived and felt a little differently. 

This fourth sensor, which is a bitter, astringent and bitter taste sensor, can detect flavors such as lemon peel, olive or coffee taste, for example. So it is not a direct bitter taste sensor.

The fifth sensor was recognized in the twentieth century. 

This sensor, which we call the flavor sensor, is known by the Japanese word "umami", which means "flavor". 

It is not in the dictionaries, but the word umami was used to describe meaty flavors that were not sugary. 

Again, we can feel the taste of tomatoes, for example, or the taste of grains, or even the taste of dried beans with this fifth sensor.

So, how do we perceive cake-like flavors when we say cake-like taste?

Here, "cake-like flavors" stimulate a little bit of sour sensors, a little bitter sensors, in other words bitter sensors, and a little bit of this flavor sensors, and it comes out as a mixed taste.

Things that leave a slightly astringent taste in the mouth are said to have a "creamy taste".

For example, a tea with too much brew, you know that astringent taste when the tea is brewed a little too much. 

Or the taste of medlar. 

I don't like the astringent taste that medlar leaves in my mouth, but on the other hand, I love eating medlar.

But I really hate the astringent taste of the fruit called paradise persimmon, or I think it's also called paradise apple in some places, I think it's even called persimmon in some markets.

In Russia, when they say persimmon, they think of this strange bitter sweet fruit, whereas in Russia they call it finik. It's probably from English. 

By the way, the dates we know are also sold here quite a lot. We buy and eat them whenever we can.

Anyway, let's continue with creamy flavors.

Black cabbage, artichokes and arugula, arugula, are also mentioned among the foods with a creamy taste.

For example, I like arugula very much. Just make a salad with arugula, add a little salt, a little olive oil, a little lemon and you're good to go.

Of course, we can't just eat it, I would enjoy a big plate of arugula salad.

The last elections left such a creamy taste on my tongue. A bit bitter taste.

On the one hand, I wonder how people can believe so many lies.

On the other hand, I wonder how the government has the audacity to lie to people so blatantly.

The funny thing is that people believe the lies, perhaps even knowingly.

Dishonesty is ingrained in some of them. How is it that some people have made it their profession to deceive people without even blushing?

I sat up late into the night and watched Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's conversation with young people moderated by dear Oğuzhan Uğur.

It was horrifying to see one of the young people trolling on Twitter during that continuous broadcast. Even as he was leaving the hall, he left claiming that he was not safe for his life.

I was amazed at how that young mind was manipulated in such a way.

Among the questions asked, there were some really difficult ones.

Although Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu's answers were quite sincere, they were still politically delicious.

Yes, I guess politics has its own taste in this life, not just the creamy flavors. 

I don't know how satisfied people were with his answers. I don't know if he was able to convince people, especially young people.

Sometimes it is not that easy to convince people. People are stuck on an idea and no matter what you do, they cannot give up that fixed idea.

Nevertheless, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu has shown great courage.

With his annoying calmness, Mr. Kılıçdaroğlu seems to have passed this test successfully.

***

Yes, these elections will end on Sunday with a bitter taste in our mouths.

I hope this program has been useful for the elections.

I hope the elections will be good for all of us.

Love and respect to everyone from Moscow
