Börek

Börek (also burek and other variants) is a family of baked filled pastries made of a thin flaky dough known as phyllo (or yufka), found in the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire. A börek may be prepared in a large pan and cut into portions after baking, or as individual pastries. The top of the börek is often sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Origin and name

It may have been invented in what is now modern Turkey, in the Anatolian Provinces of the Ottoman Empire in its early era, to become a popular element of Ottoman cuisine, or it may date back to the Ancient Roman cuisine of the region. (cf. Baklava)

Börek may have its origins in Turkish cuisine and may be one of its most significant and, in fact, ancient elements of the Turkish cuisine, having been developed by the Turks of Central Asia before their westward migration to Anatolia. A competing theory is that it is the same as the local Byzantine dish plakountas tetyromenous, itself a descendant of placenta, the ancient baked layered dough and cheese dish of Roman times.

Silence Is The Enemy

by: Papa Roach

I know you wanted me to keep my mouth shut
Because you hate it when I speak my mind
I suffer through it but it feels so messed up
Like my opinion is a waste of time
We never wanted it to be this way
They never listen to a word we say
So scream your heart out. You are the chosen
You gotta show them silence is the enemy
Tweet it out loud, we are the broken
We gotta show them silence is the enemy
You’re taking needles and sow my mouth shut
But you will never hear the last of me
This is the reason that we’re all so fucked up
You are the reason that we don’t believe
We never wanted it to be this way
They never listen to a word we say
So scream your heart out. You are the chosen
You gotta show them silence is the enemy
Tweet it out loud, we are the broken
We gotta show them silence is the enemy
(Woa oh oh) Scream it out loud
(Woa oh oh) Silence is the enemy
(Woa oh oh) Scream it out loud
(Woa oh oh) Silence is the enemy
You gotta show them silence is the enemy
Scream your heart out. You are the chosen
You gotta show them silence is the enemy
Tweet it out loud, we are the broken
We gotta show them silence is the enemy
(Woa oh oh) Scream it out loud
(Woa oh oh) Silence is the enemy
(Woa oh oh) Scream it out loud
(Woa oh oh) Silence is the enemy
Scream it out loud!
