Don’t try it and you’ll regret it a thousand times.’ Another popular legend about this fluffy sweet goes like this. A confectioner who lived in Kocaeli was famous for his sweet creations. People lined up for miles outside his shop just to try some of his famous specialities. Even traders detoured off the Silk Road to try his delicious sweets. The confectioner, despite his success, had a different kind of problem. He had fallen in love with a lovely but hefty young lady. He tried everything to win her heart, but his love remained unrequited. In despair, he decided to create a brand new sweet and dedicate it to his beloved, hoping to gain her love in return. He worked hard with his helpers and created beautiful, snow-white balls of pulled halva. In honour of his love, he called the sweet ‘şismaniye,’ which means “my fat lady” in Turkish. He carefully labelled it and sent a few boxes to his beloved girl. This time it worked and he managed to attract her attention. Before long they got married and lived happily ever after, for a while at least. Then, his new bride’s jealousy and trickery turned his life into hell. He was heartbroken but he had to leave her. Thus, he changed the name of the sweet from ‘şismaniye’ to ‘pişmaniye’ which means ‘regret.’ "
