I have been privileged to travel the world. But I love living in a country where different cultures can immigrate bringing their art, food, music, history and we all can appreciate. *I hope this never changes.*
Thank you for this, sometimes there's so much hate towards immigrants, we forget that people are beautiful and having so many different people come together means more beauty can be spread and shared
From 2006 to 2009 my wife and I called Tennessee home. We lived in Winchester TN/Tullahoma TN... about 1.5 hours away from Nashville.. to the East. I am of Asian Indian background, and my wife is an immigrant from Vietnam. We used to go into Eastern Nashville twice a month on the Nolensville Pike to stock up on ethnic groceries. This particular place....we visited several times. The bread is just great.
At 3:36, the scene where the ladies are flipping the round of bread on the griddle with a long stick-- for those of us who grew up with Norwegian-heritage Grandmas, that technique is very similar to making lefse. Lefse, if you don't know, if something like a very thin flour tortilla but made with mashed potatoes/ flour/ butter/cream. It's fussy to make and takes a bit of time. But it's apparently traditionally Norwegian, and the kind of recipe that is passed down through generations. It's interesting to see how many cultures in the world-- Kurdish, Norwegian, Indian, Mexican, etc-- have their own version of a flat bread.
Exactly! I don’t like emphasising “Kurdish” bread, I’ve seen this type of baking in so many countries, again, it is NOT Kurdish, it’s Persian, Turkish, Indian, Afgani, etc, can’t count them.
I have a very dear friend from Iraq. In fact she speaks a dialect of arabic, but has learned English & earned her citizenship. She is my disabled brothers caregiver. I am geographically challenged & only knew that apparently Iraq & Iran are perpetually warring countries. However, I noted from your story that the Kurds are spread throughout several countries. Seems to me that these Kurdish folk could bring about peace in that region somehow through exceptional baking skills and humble kindness. Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get along ❤
@@robertpalmer3166 And ? you should stop trying to justify arming and supporting terrorists in the middel east just because they bake ancient bread back in the states . These kind of video's are here to make the average soccer mom feel compasion towards the Kurdish people so the next time the senate votes to send them billions worth of weapons to fight isis ( in reality its for oil we all know it ) then no one is gonna think twice because they feel compassion and feel sad about the oh so innocent Kurdish people who not even 2 months ago did a suicide vest attack in Turkey but ey who cares Terrorists are only terrorists when the USA says so right ? :D
Every Saturday I go to Newroz for their mixed meat shawarma wrap. So, good. Everyone there is so nice. Love that place. If you are in N’ville it’s worth the effort to go there.
I think I've been there... maybe a quarter mile north of Walmart? I didn't know about the bread; will have to check it out. I wonder if they have it whole grain....
Love segments like this so much! ♥ We live in the California Sierras and are so blessed to live in a community with so many different cultures. It's akin to traveling the world without leaving home. 🙂
@Roma-137 Not true this bread might exist even before Christianity. And if you go to Iran and Pakistan and Afghanistan and India you will see it all over the places. And by the way nothing in the meddle East tied to the Christianity religion. whether it's food or culture or dressing. Its most likely tied to the locals.
@ Christians of Iraq are the original people of land, I know cause I’m Chaldean and Chaldeans and Assyrians Christians which we come from Balbel, Sumar, Akad and Ashur cultures, we are the original people of land before any Arab invaded the countries with sword and we still existing because our ancestors paid the Jiziya Islamic tax to remain as Christians. Others converted or got beheaded otherwise. In small villages is how we made our food. Christians are also in Syria and Turkey and everywhere before invasion. In Syria they are knows as Syriac and they still exist in big numbers. Do your research.
@Roma-137 We were talking about bread. What religion got to do with it. By the way if you want to convince yourself that you were first. Remember before Christianity there was Judaism and before Judaism that area was ruled by Persian so. You can blame Islam for the declining for Christianity. But forget to acknowledge the Christianity died in so many places around the world not because of Islam Just because it doesn't make sense anymore. Have you been in Europe who killed the Christianity in there?! Would you blame Islam?! Christianity is out of the history simply. It might bacme a business and tradition more than a godly belief. Just face the reality and stop blaming game.
@ Christianity according to Bible will be in decline because faith and love is disappearing from this torn earth and it will get worse as we keep seeing anyways.. the way to hell is wide open while the way to God is very narrow and few will be faithful till last day in this filthy world. Christ is the way.
The wonderful contributions that the Kurds bring to Nashville is amazing ( Buy this bread or eat Lamb Shanks at House of Kebob). It is truly sad 😔 that many in Tennessee treat immigrants so poorly both is words and actions. Pray 🙏 for change.
I'm from Kuwait and I study Engineering in the US. This bread is served complimentary in Kuwait and the middle east. Nothing I miss more from eastern kitchen like I miss this bread 💔😞
This same exact bread I ate quite often in Saudi Arabia. It's the Pakistani version called 'tamis'. It is served in little bakeries in working class neighborhoods together with beans and/ or lentil stew called 'addas.' It's a delicious breakfast, but you have to eat the bread quickly, if not after 10 or 15 min it gets hard as a rock!
I loved this report. I had no idea about the place where you could get this bread, although I definitely knew about the Kurdish population here. Only critique would be that, as a native Nashville, the opening drone footage of the Nashville skyline is definitely not Nashville. I don’t know what city it is, but it’s not Nashville. But that did not take away from the report itself, which was fantastic. 😊😊
Naan in Kurdish, Persian, Urdu & Hindi. Khoobz in Arabic. The flat bread is eaten throughout the Muslim world from North Africa, M.E., Central Asia, Euro Asia to South Asia!
So many cultures have so many good things to offer the world if we could all just forget religion and the pain it causes and relate to each other as fellow humans.
In this video it might be SUNDAY morning news,but in TENNESSEE, this lady is old fashioned BREAD, like the ancient KURDS did,sure it's bread,by English standards, but it's actually called NAAN,it's unleavened bread,no yeast, baking powder or soda,and no eggs, just flour and water, put into a very hot CLAY OVEN, on the inside walls, and I know because here in QUEENS NYC,you have the INDIAN, PAKISTANI AND BANGLADESH people at 74th Street right off ROOSEVELT AVE, very small close knit community, and I have gone to Morocco five times and they make the same thing except now with the EUROPEAN PEOPLE, they have brought different types of bread to the MIDDLE EAST COUNTRIES, it's all based on the types of ground grains used, same method, different types of grains.
love to live in your motherland. kurdish are indians. but as gypcies they love to journey all over the world. İ saw, you love kurdish. it is good. may be you are a gypcy, because gypcies are kurdishes ' brothers.
In 1991, during the Gulf War, I was invited to a home in Mosul, Iraq, where the bread was made like this, over a metal dome, in a home where the cow was kept in the common space of a mud walled house alongside the family. The roof was six or 8 feet of sticks that was reminiscent of thatched roofs, only made with sticks. The entire house inside was open to the rafters. The elderly woman baking the bread said it would keep for weeks, and when eaten only had to be reconstituted with a handful of water sprinkled across it. It was lovely. The man who invited me was named George, a pharmacist by profession, he then worked as in interpreter for the US Government; the home was that of his parents. I was so blessed to be able to see people living this way in real time, it was as if time had stood still for a few hundred years. Life was simple, these people were content.
Definitely not in Nashville. I’ve lived here all my life and that was a bit of a shock to see that. Originally, I was thinking to myself “dang, I know I don’t get downtown all that much, but there’s a bunch of buildings I’ve never seen!“ 🤣🤣 didn’t know it was Austin, though.
I have been privileged to travel the world. But I love living in a country where different cultures can immigrate bringing their art, food, music, history and we all can appreciate.

Tennessee is incredibly diverse, in a lot of ways. (This is a very complex country.)

I enjoy making my own bread, it's very therapeutic.
Same.
True! I do too
That is a basic bread for many cultures,not just Kurds.
And?
You must be fun at parties! 'Hey, this homemade punch you're serving for the Halloween party is actually Kool-Aid which is served everywhere.'
@mysmallworld
you are so dam right 😊
That’s true. Christians from Iraq for example bake it that way for ages.

Man I'd love to get at that bread, looks FABULOUS
It is
I start eating it in the car on the way home..............
The old ways are still the best.
Naan bread seems simple and delicious.
I hope this will always be diverse but not divided. There’s no good end to fighting with our neighbors. 💜
*Fun Fact:* The owner of Chobani Yoghurt is Kurdish
I liven Nashville and I have never seen this p lace. I will have to go check it out .
Same
Yep, same here!
On Nolensville Pike behind U-Haul 😊
Get a #9 mixed meat shawarma wrap, with everything. You can thank me later
Just went there this morning
Makes me want to take a trip to Nashville to try this bread. I ❤ these immigrants.
Reminds me of yummy lavash from Armenia! I see myself traveling here… Road trip in the future🍞
Looks good. As a bread lover, I would to try it. Neat that their keeping ancient traditions alive. Bravo. 🍞🥖
Newroz is such a gem here in Nashville. They also make other recipes like Manouche and shawarma that are also amazing there.
I think I've been there... maybe a quarter mile north of Walmart? I didn't know about the bread; will have to check it out. I wonder if they have it whole grain....
@Boodlums yes just up Nolensville Road! Everything from there especially housemade is amazing

this type of bread is not only for Kurds. You can find it all over Middle East, from Turkey to India.
Christians from Middle East and Iraq particularly make bread that way.

Love this bread we get it in Denver
I had this bread almost daily as a kid.
Really is the best bread ever
It’s fascinating how despite kurdistan and India being thousands of miles apart the both share the same name for their flatbreads
It's the best store in Nashville.❤
Thank you, such stories are so needed! Beautiful food and beautiful people❤
What a great country we live in.
🎶 All my biscuits live in Texas.
That's why I bake my bread in Tennesee. 🎶

You bring life with you, no matter the situations we are put into. 👍
So important to keep every tradition from their native places,food is always involve with love !
Our natives on the reservation,have been making this bread ,my great granny made them .I too make them.
I miss Turkiye!! They had bread like this everywhere. I loved the summit ❣️❣️❣️
I am looking forward to my visit next summer.

Edessa Restaurant is another phenomenal Kurdish place in the same part of Nashville!
I love That Type Of bread I buy once a Week But The Stories Where Even Better though
@@JustinCase780 you're too
Kurdish bread is the best.
I go to Nashville quite often
I def gotta try it out on one of my future trips InshaAllah
proud to be a kurdish ❤
Leave it to Americans to be amazed by bread. Something the whole world makes and eats
I'd love to try it!
I hope Nashville can continue to be open-minded and welcoming and not let hatred and bigotry take over
It looks so gooood 😫😫
This is the America we want to see. Diverse American citizens. Not like NY streets or LA streets. These are hard working Americans!
They are so cute cooking over an old satellite dish. Necessity is the mother of invention.
This is actually a Turkish bread, usually made by our Kazakh and Uyghur brothers.
Naan in Kurdish, Persian, Urdu & Hindi. Khoobz in Arabic. The flat bread is eaten throughout the Muslim world from North Africa, M.E., Central Asia, Euro Asia to South Asia!
It goes much farther than that. Chapati (flatbread) along the East African coast
@@agh7185 Good to know! :)

Religion isn't supposed to cause pain. "They're doing it wrong" unfortunately.
@ Christianity, Islam, Mormonism, Scientology etc are simply about control and oppression. There is no freedom of thought, speech or life.
02:45... She's wearing long, flowing clothing, including a headscarf, while working with exposed, rotating machinery. This is far from copacetic.
In any decent bakery workers cover their body and head. No one wants hair in their bread.
The video didn’t really capture it that well. They were fairly normal cloths, with their hair in scarf like a hair net.
❤❤ the kurdis people have a beautiful culture and their nann is delicious 🤤
America should be extremely welcoming of Kurds given how the US exploited them and ultimately abandoned them to the Turks in the last 10 years
Not the regular peoples problem. Talk to the intelligence agencies about that
@@chrischreative2245it is the regular Americans problem. I do not want my tax dollars going to wars. I rather spend it here!
That bread looks delicious. Yum!
Lavash! 😍
I ate this bread all my life fully cooked steak some veggie . Try to whole wheat bread naan
Wonder which ancient grain they use, einkorn, emmer/farro, Kamut, or spelt?
I was hoping for a recipe!
The main grains that grow there is wheat and barley.
Great people. Respectful, polite and grateful for this country. Unlike some. Peace to them.
Why was Austin shown at the beginning?
I eat this whenever I want in Dearborn Michigan delicious bread
Amazing😮
I visited this place many times. The bread s wonderful and the have shawarma also
Nithing beats fresh bread😊❤
Is that Ekmek? When I was in turkey I fell in love with it and some honey on the side! YUMMY

This is basically Naan (or Naan bread for Americans)
Look at that! The dough sticks to the sides of the tunnel oven!
There is a small difference as there was no gas in the ancient times. Only wood for fire.
beautiful
It looks like naan
Same thing 😂
love the kurds
Amazing
Perfect bread. I'll bet you don't see any red hats in that shop.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I grew up eating this Samon and Bread nothing taste like it
This bread “keeps” for months. Really? With the same ingredients my sourdough only keeps for a few days. Wonder what the secret is?
Wow amazing
My mom makes the same bread.
I do not know the ratio’s or proof times but it’s a pizza dough.
