Entertainment/বিনোদন I wonder how r/Bangladesh will bring religion and politics into a discussion about sweets.

I'm a Shondesh Supremacist

u/BoonTobias Feb 15 '22
Brudder asks a good question. Shondesh is not permissible as malaikari is the supreme dessert
2
u/masterofnaan6710 Feb 15 '22
who tf eats malaikari
btw i've been trying to create a new flavor of shondesh. can you guess what it is? it's called chilli shondesh

That... actually is though. I saw the /s but having anything that was dedicated to a deity is shirk. If it's an offering, that's a no go.

Gurer shodesh, found in Khulna
You gotta try
bogurar doi,
comilla's rosh malai,
tangail chom chom
and natorer kacha golla.
They're famous for a reason.

u/PurpleInteraction Feb 15 '22
And Monda of Mymensingh (Muktagachha to be exact).

u/yasserius Khulna 🐯🦐 Feb 16 '22
Will try that when I visit! thanks!

Mishti eating is a dangerous activity, only the strongest survive
Keep training

Nah man, tangail has better doi. I will fight you on that.

You did Racial segregation among those sweets! why they are separated in line according to their shapes?

There's no racial segregation. Its a homogenous plate 100% bengali

Kalo Jaam. I feel like it's very underrated.
5
u/Worth-Bill3679 মুর্তাদ Feb 15 '22
Its not underrated by any definition of the word. Its literally one of the most popular sweets out there and one of my favorites too(Although shondesh is better imo)
1
u/icymelon7 Feb 16 '22
Oh I see. While growing up in my family, we only ever ate Chomchom, Shondesh or Bundiya. We rarely had Kalo jaam thats why I thought it's underrated.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Mishti

u/Worth-Bill3679 মুর্তাদ Feb 15 '22
I love pitha(especially vapa) too. The only problem i have with them is that they are seasonal.

u/iziyan Feb 15 '22
That's the bad part, Though I really dislike Bhapa, Patishapta is love, Patishapta is life.
Also chitoi is good too, and most other ones

Lets bring religion: Are most sweet makers in Bangladesh Hindus ? All the noteable sweet shops I have seen in various YouTube videos turned out to be run by Hindus.

u/Worth-Bill3679 মুর্তাদ Feb 16 '22
Im not sure but if i had to take a guess its because those same hindu families have been making sweets for generations since before Islam arrived and are simply continuing their family legacy. Most East Bengali Muslims were lower caste hindus so i dont think they were making sweets in the past
1
u/OG_UFO Feb 16 '22
That's not how it works. There are hindu chefs, food servers, food delivery everywhere. They are not judged based on their religion. Your argument is rather weak !

I probably should have clarified but you can name any bengali sweet even if its not on here. This was pretty much the most inclusive pic i could find and had most of the well known ones in it so i used it.

My favorite is those white small sweets that I forgot the name about and kacchagolla.

Give me any sweet, I will eat it.

But for real though, for me; kacha chana. It's only because I can pig out while avoiding a diabetic coma. Priorities... I know.
All while keeping a blood glucose monitor close at hand. Heh!

Malaikari (some call it Fata Mishti) from Mymensingh. It has to be from Shudhir Ghosh Mishtanno Bhandar as well!

Damn this is the 1st time im hearing something like this.Whats their justification for this? Who cares if a hindu makes your sweet? Its never said in the Quran that you cant eat food made by people of other religions even if its halal

My grandparents actually prefer sweets specifically from Hindus lmaoo. They say that Hindus are 'ostads' at making sweets because some families have been in the business for generations. They specially rave about the খীরসা that they always bring over from a certain shop in Munshiganj that's apparently owned by a 'Ghosh'. And I'll have to hand it to them, it's definitely the best খীরসা I've ever had! So they might actually have a point xD

Jalebi probably tbh. I'm way more into savouries than sweets (they're sold in the same shops usually, in the UK, which is why I compared). I'm always at the savouries counter eyeing up the paneer spring rolls...bread pakora...paneer samosas...panjabi samosas...matar kachori...now I'm hungry thanks /u/Worth-Bill3679

He says
“you dude, what is “Jalebi”? (It is) Jilapi, jilapi!”
The “it is” is in parentheses because it implied in the sentence.

In Bangla we pronounce it as জিলাপি, “jalebi” is what non Bengalis say.

Oh, thanks. Not sure whether or not to switch now 🤣

This is actually difficult. Would sweets also include pitha under your definition OP? Just seeking clarification here.

I consider pitha their own category. Some pitha arent even sweet
