One of the prominent features of Anatolian cuisine is the stories, poems, or legends associated with the dishes. The höşmerim story is one of them. According to the legend, the bride sends her husband to war and waits for him to return for years. However, the husband never returns, and the bride begins to think that he died in battle. Years later, the husband returns. When the bride sees him, she is overjoyed and decides to cook a meal for him. However, due to poverty, there is not much in the kitchen. The bride cooks by mixing cheese made from her only cow, eggs, sugar, and semolina. When she serves this meal to her husband, she asks, "Is it good, my erim (partner)?" Her husband responds happily, "Hoş hoş. (It's good)" Due to the story passed down from generation to generation, it is named "Höşmerim."
