Did you ever give Xalwo to cadaans?

[Abdalla]

I want to celebrate the succesful completion of a project. I want to give my cadaan coworkers some Somali sweets. It is too early in the morning to give them sambuus. I am afraid Xalwo is too much for cadaans, so has anyone given them Xalwo? I am referring to creme dela creme, Xalwo Kismayo, not some low tier xalwo which looks orange and has bits of cinnamon sticks in it

Yes I did. When i was coming back from Djibouti, i got xalwo with me. I gave it to my friends, and some were cadaans. They said it was too sugary but they like the somali spice i got in Djibouti

Don’t! I took some to the office after eid last year (we bought too many and i didn’t want them to go bad) these idiots had the audacity to compare it to jello and say it’s a sweet jelly, and they didn’t like it muchand we are talking about quruxlow xalwo here.

Bring Somali cake or Malawax if its too early for sambuus

Is "xalwo" what I think it is? We Bosniaks have that too, and we call it "halva". I ate it a lot as a kid.

Take shushumow or qumbo (coconut squares) , xalwo is too much for cadaans.

Take shushumow or qumbo biscuits , xalwo is too much for cadaans.

Oh yea and get sued when they lose a teeth from trying to bite on that shushumo

I don't even eat it myself tbh. Caadans would love some Xalwo back in the 1700s, but now they have access to real sweets.

Isn't Xalwo a poor mans candy?

I remember giving some baklava to some of my cadaan teachers and they reacted like they tasted heaven. The gave me the special treatment and asked me to have my mother bring them some every special occasion.

Halva is good, but with all due respect, there is no sweet in this world like the magnificent tufahija. I mean, just look at it:

Dude, I can't decide if it looks like it tastes good or straight up horrible.

Tufahije (singular: tufahija) is a Bosnian dessert made of walnut-stuffed Apples stewed in sugar water.

You should try it.

Today a group of people that celebrated their bday brought bunch of cakes. Some werent liked and nobody touched them. The ended up on the kitchen sink. I am afraid if I bring xalwa that it will end up on the sink as well

It doesnt help that the xalwa quality fluctuates, its never stable. Except for xalwa kismayo. The smell of ghee blows me away

Another issue is how to decorate it to make it appeal attractive. This doesnt seem appealing at all

Somali cake? The thing that has black seeds in it? Why dont they use powder instead of seeds and cinnamon sticks

Why don’t you take some of your Afghan girls local luxuries

I’m sure people will enjoy the taste of war and misogyny

 

[Muji]

I took some Thai cookies in once which looked edible and came straight out of the pack

The cadan s mostly refused

When it comes to cadan they will only eat something that is flavourless and has English writing on the packaging

Theres time for war and a time for normal discussion. You just had a 6+pages of fighting.

You must be kidding. That xalwo is delicious but looks horrible.

Blacks seeds like dhego yare (?), bits of qolfo and hayl

I brought some sambuuso once to work ever since they ask me when I can bring some more
