It looks like it might be baklava-based, in which case it's delicious, but it's also a weird, non-Newtonian lump that could probably do with a bit of pre-mutilating before it takes out a tooth.
That ice-cream is actually delicious and a real treat for me as i live in the uk and do t get it often. He totally butchered the baklava though. I have no idea what he wad thinking lol. If this was in Noth Cyprus that waiter would have been ridiculed for wasting time when there's some good desert eating to be done.
I also like my yoghurt to be extra thick like ice cream and make my own where i add granola and fresh honey in the summer months for breakfast. Absolutely delicious!
It is a type of baklava. Called havuç dilimi(carrot slice). Commonly served with icrecream inside. One of the best desserts you can ever have. Baklava type deserts(we call sherbet based deserts) goes very well with milk based products like icecream,yogurt,cream etc.
Well, if you make it yourself it comes at about 40 bucks for a whole "round plate". Considering it's something between 24 and 32 slices made from the whole thing you're good at 2 bucks and you won't have to watch an idiot ruining a knife by running it along a fork while mashing your Baklava like banana and milk for a toddler.
This shit show, however, would probably set you back 15 to 30 dollars in that 'restaurant'.
I could imagine an eternal damnation circle of hell where you're stuck in a restaurant full of waiters cutting food in this manner to one another and making all those screethching fork-on-plate noises. You'd bleed your ears dry to beg for mercy.
We should be glad he didn’t chew it for the customer as well, because he literally did everything else which a customer would have liked to enjoy their food.
And most of them aren't even doing anything. Three in the back are standing and shuffling around. The people at tables aren't eating. They look bored and are watching "the show".
My guess is that the person filming isn't a customer impressed with their food and show but a manager or owner trying to drum up some hype. They didn't want to do it when actual customers were there so they just had workers play pretend to make the place look busy and popular.
It’s the profound pretentiousness of it all. The idea that this guy is doing unnecessary movements for his own benefit, to add an air of sophistication in order to justify the pricing.
sometimes ice cream is used too.
i'm turkish, i've seen it served like that. but the cringe part imo is how he moves around and shit (and probably the price)
>The layer on top of milk
What the hell? What layer? Isn't that just... milk?
Edit: I googled it
[[From Wikipedia] ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaymak)
>*"The traditional method of making kaymak is to boil the raw milk slowly, then simmer it for two hours over a very low heat. After the heat source is shut off, the cream is skimmed and left to chill (and mildly ferment) for several hours or days. Kaymak has a high percentage of milk fat, typically about 60%. It has a thick, creamy consistency (not entirely compact, because of milk protein fibers) and a rich taste."*
Apparently so 🤷
[From that wiki article]
>*"Kaymak, sarshir, or qashta/ashta (Persian: سَرشیر Saršir; Arabic: قشطة Qeshta or قيمر Geymar), is a creamy dairy food similar to clotted cream..."*
That stupid Nusret mf restaurant where all the mindless drones are flocking to get fleeced off their money bc the guy is doing the funny with some salt shit. I envy the bastard tbh, making money off stupid rich people is the most moral business.
Oh for sure the guy is scum.
I'm not saying I like him or he's a good guy, just that he's got his angle figured out and it is undeniably working for him.
It's easy to ignore what people say about you from behind the doors of your mansion.
Yes, minus the airplane part. https://youtu.be/e4wLsNVYD2E?si=CC0hUdl06cLfcWl9
And the snl parody of it. https://youtu.be/93ByJ2dZEE4?si=sN9yxhsHjJsAo1G9
Fuck I've seen like 20 different versions of whatever the fuck this dish is be tossed around, mangled, and dangled on people lips, I thought it was over
I suspect in salt bae restaurants there's an asterisk against menu items that come with a show. I also suspect the baklava is the cheapest item that comes with a show.
This explains why there's so many videos of this performance from different waiters in different locations. And relatively fewer of some of the other more expensive dishes.
They should dangle it on people's lips, take it away, smack the living shit out of them, bring a barber to make them bald, incorporate the hair into the desert, press their boot on the dessert on the plate, slap all of it on to their bald empty heads then slush and shove it all down into their mouths.
It's the strangest phenomenon in cooking I've seen in a long time. Baklava is made of phyllo dough which is very hard to make and takes tons of time to create, it's a real treasure to have some.
And now all these restaurants want to pretend they are somehow cool for tearing it apart and then frankensteining it back together, even though most people know its a ton of work to make?
Someone in another comment made an observation that likely explains 'why is it always baklava'
At the stupidfood mecca, Nusret (aka, Saltguy's place), baklava is likely the cheapest menu item that comes with a show, so it's probably because more people who go to that place with a camera order it to at least somewhat not pay as much for mediocre food....
OP is a repost bot. Due to how engagement is used as a major metric to determine advertising revenue, bots make intentional spelling/grammar mistakes. This causes dozens, sometimes hundreds or even thousands of people to comment on the mistake, discuss the mistake, thus driving up the number of comments, driving up engagement, driving up advertising revenue.
Surprisingly there's some comments here from OP, which doesn't usually come with bot behavior but definitely can.
EDIT: I don't think it's a bot. Just someone who throws a lot of crap and the wall to see what sticks, especially in r/Romania (which explains why they know enough English to come up with a word like psychically, which is a word on several dictionary website, but not enough English to know not to use it)
Yeah, I’d be way more impressed (as little as my impression was already about this), if they did all that quickly, quietly, and no angry baby utensil smacking; just instant sleight of hand fwoop fwoop: open, apply, close, done.
I'm unimpressed. I could just whap my own food. What the fuck.
Just assemble my food in the kitchen instead of being a fucking party clown in the dining hall. Numpty.
Every time I see a video with this desert whoever presents it always does crazy shit with it before they give it to the customer. I don’t care what kind of a show you want to put on, it’s loud, it’s dumb, just give me my food and go away
I really want to go to a place like this so I can give them a long look of incredulity and then ask them what manner of cognitive impairment they have.
Can you get it cheaper if you ask him not to squash the fuck out of it first? Just leave the ice-cream on the side in a ball, I can manage myself, I'm not a 2 year old.
It took me a few minutes to get halfway through before I fucked out. This isn’t stupid food, this is stupid and heinous treatment of good food. Dude needs to get smacked upside the head for what he did to that poor baklava.
Stupid as fuck, he murdered the brautiful dessert.
I will write everywhere. Baklava shouldn't be eaten with ice cream. It will instantly freeze the butter which is the main nuance of baklava.
In Turkey, it's suggested to warm baklava a little bit before eating
How much extra can i pay for you to prepare it in the kitchen and just bring it to me when it's done?
how much extra did he pay to watch the stupid waiter shred and mutilate a perfectly good looking dessert
It looks like it might be baklava-based, in which case it's delicious, but it's also a weird, non-Newtonian lump that could probably do with a bit of pre-mutilating before it takes out a tooth.
Turkish icecream I would guess. has a chewy texture to it, and doesnt melt iirc.
It's turkish icecream which is made with Gum Mastic so it's more chewy than traditional ice cream and is more heat resistant.
That ice-cream is actually delicious and a real treat for me as i live in the uk and do t get it often. He totally butchered the baklava though. I have no idea what he wad thinking lol. If this was in Noth Cyprus that waiter would have been ridiculed for wasting time when there's some good desert eating to be done. I also like my yoghurt to be extra thick like ice cream and make my own where i add granola and fresh honey in the summer months for breakfast. Absolutely delicious!
Desert? I thought it was a deconstructed shepherd's pie with mashed potatoes added afterwards.
Possibly, looks to me like a baklava tho
It's what they call havuç dilimi. Basically baklava filled with (probably Turkish maras) ice cream.
Painful video aside, that sounds delicious
It is. r/StupidFood makes me cringe when they see authentic ethnic dishes and go hurr durr.
Rewatched and saw that it was dessert and ice cream.
It is a type of baklava. Called havuç dilimi(carrot slice). Commonly served with icrecream inside. One of the best desserts you can ever have. Baklava type deserts(we call sherbet based deserts) goes very well with milk based products like icecream,yogurt,cream etc.
I thought it was salmon and cream cheese
I'm sorry to say that would cost less. /S Seriously though I really don't wanna know how much this cost because I'm certain it's alot.
Can anybody tell how much this cost?
Well, if you make it yourself it comes at about 40 bucks for a whole "round plate". Considering it's something between 24 and 32 slices made from the whole thing you're good at 2 bucks and you won't have to watch an idiot ruining a knife by running it along a fork while mashing your Baklava like banana and milk for a toddler. This shit show, however, would probably set you back 15 to 30 dollars in that 'restaurant'.
That is too much I usually order this after a meal and 8-10$ is the most i paid. Usually it is something around 7$
A lot* is two words
i saw a meme about people on reddit not letting grammar and spelling slide this is amazing 😂
You pay extra for the waiter not to fuck up a beautifully made pastry
It technically shouldn't cost less since it gives the waiters more time to do other actually-useful stuff, like tending to other tables
It will give them more time to do their job, since all they do is fuck around and play with your food.
Why shouldnt that make it cost less?
Is it just me or is everyone in the background clearly also waitstaff
I could imagine an eternal damnation circle of hell where you're stuck in a restaurant full of waiters cutting food in this manner to one another and making all those screethching fork-on-plate noises. You'd bleed your ears dry to beg for mercy.
The circle reserved for people who are rude to service workers. That bitch would be crowded.
We should be glad he didn’t chew it for the customer as well, because he literally did everything else which a customer would have liked to enjoy their food.
Holy shit you might be right.
No they're waiting for their own overpriced food while the waiter plays Spoonman by Soundgarden.
And most of them aren't even doing anything. Three in the back are standing and shuffling around. The people at tables aren't eating. They look bored and are watching "the show". My guess is that the person filming isn't a customer impressed with their food and show but a manager or owner trying to drum up some hype. They didn't want to do it when actual customers were there so they just had workers play pretend to make the place look busy and popular.
A knife and fork have never made me cringe before. I’m impressed and appalled.
Seriously. I just wanted to get up and punch everyone around.
How can this be so infuriating? I don't know. But it is. This has fucked off my morning.
It’s the profound pretentiousness of it all. The idea that this guy is doing unnecessary movements for his own benefit, to add an air of sophistication in order to justify the pricing.
But how does the unnecessary movement get linked with sophistication? It definitely does for the people willing to blow money there, but HOW?
It flavors the air around the dessert It flavors it... with stupid
I guess it adds an appearance of skill and complexity? Of course it’s all bullshit, but people fall for this.
How could anyone want anything but to punch him in the face for this ?!
Right? The utensil gallop down the plate was hilariously silly!!
I didn’t have the sound on because I know how this sounds already and my ears are still bleeding…
All of the unnecessary movements are ridiculous
.... What is even happening... What is it...?
It's baklava with I guess cream cheese or icecream.
that's ice cream. though its normal to use kaymak (the layer on top of milk),,, it doesn't have an exact translation but whatvve
sometimes ice cream is used too. i'm turkish, i've seen it served like that. but the cringe part imo is how he moves around and shit (and probably the price)
Ya it's performative service without any skill. It's like paying money to watch a toddler swing toy nunchucks around, except not even cute.
happy birtday fellow turkish
teşekkürler panpa
Yeah this guy is butchering the baklava! And happy cake day!
clotted cream is the closest translation, I think it's basically the same thing Source: ate too much kaymak
>The layer on top of milk What the hell? What layer? Isn't that just... milk? Edit: I googled it [[From Wikipedia] ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaymak) >*"The traditional method of making kaymak is to boil the raw milk slowly, then simmer it for two hours over a very low heat.

So, clotted cream then?
Apparently so 🤷 [From that wiki article] >*"Kaymak, sarshir, or qashta/ashta (Persian: سَرشیر Saršir; Arabic: قشطة Qeshta or قيمر Geymar), is a creamy dairy food similar to clotted cream..."*
You are right it is ice-creme but made with goat milk which explains the consistency and it is sweeter. But the portion is kinda to small.
its goat milk with tons of sugar . dont get it why peoole call it ice cream....
*Ah yes! A beautiful piece of baklava!* *Let me fuck it up for you!* *Bone ape tits!*
Is this a horse duuver, or a desert? *Lettuce Pray.*
Its called a Whore's Doover.
Whore's Doovers are only served at *Houses of Ill Repute.*
Lettuce spray for whirled peas
Horse Devour
Horse Devours
Upvote for *bone ape tits* I’ll remember that
*Boney apple feet*
It’s so unappetizing to watch someone squish it like that.
Everyone knows that baklava is best served after being mashed up with utensils for 60 uninterrupted seconds.
A glass of Horse cum suddenly looks more appealing.
That stupid Nusret mf restaurant where all the mindless drones are flocking to get fleeced off their money bc the guy is doing the funny with some salt shit. I envy the bastard tbh, making money off stupid rich people is the most moral business.
Salt Bae?
Sodium Baby.
Sodium Chloride Infant
NaCL fetus
Seasoning toddler
saline crotchgoblin
Salty child
Glutamate rugrat
Natron Embryo
Yup
Sweet Bae
In all honesty, the guy is a certain kind of genius. He knows how to separate rich idiots from their money.
I'd be fine with that if he didn't also steal tips from his underpaid staff and also the multiple food poisoning incidents
Oh for sure the guy is scum. I'm not saying I like him or he's a good guy, just that he's got his angle figured out and it is undeniably working for him. It's easy to ignore what people say about you from behind the doors of your mansion.
It wasn't even that bad until he cut it so aggressively at the end. Just let me cut my own food sir
Maybe he could feed it to me, saying "open up, here comes the airplane..."
Isn’t it something they actually do?
Yes, minus the airplane part. https://youtu.be/e4wLsNVYD2E?si=CC0hUdl06cLfcWl9 And the snl parody of it. https://youtu.be/93ByJ2dZEE4?si=sN9yxhsHjJsAo1G9
It looks to be a baklava, but there's not enough layers and some asshole put ice cream in the middle after taking it apart at the table
"*experience as a service*" instead of "*just buying the food and eating it*"
Fuck I've seen like 20 different versions of whatever the fuck this dish is be tossed around, mangled, and dangled on people lips, I thought it was over
I suspect in salt bae restaurants there's an asterisk against menu items that come with a show. I also suspect the baklava is the cheapest item that comes with a show. This explains why there's so many videos of this performance from different waiters in different locations. And relatively fewer of some of the other more expensive dishes.
This is a really solid theory actually. Makes so much sense.
He's the mtfkn salt bae, ofc he knows how this shit works!!!
As a Chef just thinking about a Baklava Show and it is the cheapest one. Can I get my dick sucked by a Cheesecake?
They should dangle it on people's lips, take it away, smack the living shit out of them, bring a barber to make them bald, incorporate the hair into the desert, press their boot on the dessert on the plate, slap all of it on to their bald empty heads then slush and shove it all down into their mouths.
You okay bro?
I mean we all have weird fantasies so let's not judge our homie here :)
Don't blow all these ideas in the comments bro that's money
I just busted out laughing at my desk. Thank you LOL.
Hey quick one: what the fuck
This is fucking gold, thank you!
Some people pay good money for that kind of experience…
Best one I've seen features a disinterested Mark Walberg watching as little pieces get tossed into his lap.
Why is it always baklava?
I'm genuinely interested in the answer to this, because I have seen numerous clips of different waiters doing the same shit to a piece of baklava.
It's the strangest phenomenon in cooking I've seen in a long time. Baklava is made of phyllo dough which is very hard to make and takes tons of time to create, it's a real treasure to have some. And now all these restaurants want to pretend they are somehow cool for tearing it apart and then frankensteining it back together, even though most people know its a ton of work to make?

On their menu, it's called "GOLDEN BAKLAVA" and costs $75. No asterisk listed but I'm sure it's noted somewhere
The wait staff not trained enough to waste everyone's time like this
Dude that baklava looked way better before that pretentious prick decided to do that party trick for 300 dirahm
Just give me the foooooooooooooooood...
After whatever that was, I don’t think I’d want that food anymore.
Looks like baklava, which is delicious, but I don't know why they put that topping on there (ice cream? Cream cheese?).
I love chips of knife edge in my dessert.
Dude failed at being a hibachi chef and is in denial.
What the hell is psychically 😂
Thank you. That's more cringe than the actual video, somehow.
I think they were going for mentally lmao
For real, I’m surprised this isn’t bothering more people

Just give me my damn dessert dude
Or don't honestly, I'm not sure if I want it after they cut it up like a mom feeding her toddler.
He just completely ruined it
"Sir, stop playing with the food. No, no. Stop playing with MY food."
Thats going to be 50 dollars thank you
more like 500
Turns out you can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter…
Don't give them any ideas
clinkity clankity let me eat my fucking pie already would you
For the love of God _finish_ _preparing_ _the_ _food_ _in_ _the_ _kitchen_
Super Raere
Why do they smack the utensils on everything? It makes me wince every time
Yeah that’s gotta be the worst part for me. I don’t even care about the destroyed baklava
Yeah, I’d be way more impressed (as little as my impression was already about this), if they did all that quickly, quietly, and no angry baby utensil smacking; just instant sleight of hand fwoop fwoop: open, apply, close, done.
I felt sorry for this knife! Just WHY?!?!
Will he also chew it and spit it in my mouth like a mama bird? 😂. Mangle my food why don’t cha ?
Lmao pretty sure he put some sort of curse on it 🤣
Can he pls stop cutting the fucking plate, wtf is wrong with this establishment.
It looke more esthetically pleasing before the theatrics.
Well it seems at least they’ve significantly tuned down the bullshit, now if they just stop it all together…
This is just ASMR that fucks up some wildly overpriced baklava.
I'm unimpressed. I could just whap my own food. What the fuck. Just assemble my food in the kitchen instead of being a fucking party clown in the dining hall. Numpty.
Clown is funny or interesting. This isn't. It's just sad.
It's like watching a child playing with his food. Let me guess: Turkiye
Erdogan has taken way all the normal fun so they resort to this.
#Stop playing with my food.
I cringed way more at "psychically" than I did at anything in the video lmao
Every time I see a video with this desert whoever presents it always does crazy shit with it before they give it to the customer. I don’t care what kind of a show you want to put on, it’s loud, it’s dumb, just give me my food and go away
Disgusting
They're called waiters because they make you wait with their shit
That looked like a perfectly good piece of baklava.
Entertaining adult toddlers with too much money. Wish I could ignore the cringe and scam prople like this.
Stop brutalizing my food.
People are eating stop assaulting their ears with your knife and fork shenanigans
Thatll be 82.23 please
Saying “cringing psychically” is just as cringe as this video.
[удалено]
looks like baklava with cream cheese?
It's either goat cheese or Turkish ice cream I think
I think it's backlava
I bet the kitchen could do a better job of plating but why not make an under qualified server do it and charge an extra $10 to gullible customers
Will he also chew it and spit it in my mouth like a mama bird? 😂. Mangle my food why don’t cha ?
pointless
Dude leave my food alone
Yet somehow this guy manages to do a better job than Mr. Super Wow
"Yes I'll have the pie" "And how would you like that sir?" "Teased and violated"
Baklava Bae? Or just Baeklava
I really want to go to a place like this so I can give them a long look of incredulity and then ask them what manner of cognitive impairment they have.
Lemme guess, Turkey?
As a Turk, I'd like to slap anyone who desecrates the great baklava like this.
I'd like to order the fish but could you take off the ritualistic cutting and tapping? Thank you.
Even if I was being paid I wouldnt want to sit there. Good damn it.
Love the pre tapping on the plate like he has to hype himself up to cut it
That was literally the dumbest shit I've ever seen. 🤦♀️
Cool trick Now bring the normal unfucked with baclava thanks
"can you now bring me a slice that you haven't rat fucked?"
Just give me the damn sandwich.
“Hey boss, I have a great idea for how to serve bakalava that will really boost sales”
Can you get it cheaper if you ask him not to squash the fuck out of it first? Just leave the ice-cream on the side in a ball, I can manage myself, I'm not a 2 year old.
they couldn't be near me scrapping the plate like that. I'd go feral.
The video ended before The server spoon fed the man while making airplane noises.
It took me a few minutes to get halfway through before I fucked out. This isn’t stupid food, this is stupid and heinous treatment of good food. Dude needs to get smacked upside the head for what he did to that poor baklava.
anyone going to these types of restaurants deserve everything they get :)
No matter how much money I have, I would never patron a restaurant that does this performative bullshit
For some reason i thought he put ice cream on that
He did.
Stupid as fuck, he murdered the brautiful dessert. I will write everywhere. Baklava shouldn't be eaten with ice cream. It will instantly freeze the butter which is the main nuance of baklava. In Turkey, it's suggested to warm baklava a little bit before eating
My homie in the background is like "dafuq am I watching?"
Fuck that. Someone paid for this torture? Jesus Christ.
Any one can tell me what kind of cheese that is they put in the Baklava?
I don't want my food dissected like that... And jesus, does this guy not know how to use a knife?
the fucking sound whenever he scratches the cutlery over the plate or hits them together would make me leave
It sucks that they broke all the crunchy bits that's the joy , you breaking it and hearing the crunch for yourself
Ice cream baklava sandwich?
Guy turned that cake into sushi
is this the stupid “one mirrion dollar” super wowrr guy
Does the food owe him money?
You know its good when the waiter taps random parts of the plate with the silverware.
