The origin of the strudel is neither Tyrolese nor
German, but Turkish. In all probability the strudel is
a variation of an ancient cake, still nowadays very
common in Turkey, called Baclava, which has preserved
its original recipe in the course of the centuries.
Anyway, when did this product of the Turkish cuisine
enter the cookery Mitteleuropean tradition?
During 200 years of Turkish domination Hungary
assimilated, apart from the Muslim religion, many
other aspects of the Turkish culture and of course its
food habits adjusted to those of the winners. This
historical fact caused the birth of new cookery
traditions in Hungary and the strudel is perhaps their
most relevant and well-known result. Certainly every
culture is never completely replaced or swept away by
another, therefore in the evolution of the Baclava
into strudel there was a new ingredient, the apples,
which were an integrating part of the Magyar
nourishment as large growings of this fruit testify,
while they were almost completely absent in Turkey.
The addition of this ingredient was probably due to
the necessity of increasing the volume of the mixture
and as a result its yield and use. When Austria
conquered Hungary in 1699, it was the first time the
strudel had been in Europe. Nowadays Austria is
thought to be the most important producer of this
cake. The Viennese strudel is very popular and is
served with a cup of hot milk or coffee in all the
cafés.
