Lebanese pastry


This beautiful display of pastry is in my local cake shop, only about 200 metres walk from my front door. I've never tried one of these.

  5. LOL. We usually buy baklava and similar - to tell you the truth I haven't noticed them before. I went in to ask if I could take a general pic for the blog, and spied them behind the counter. But now....will have to bring you a report.

  6. Research complete!

    Well, I asked the lady and she pronounced the name, which I repested a couple of times - it came out sounding (to me) like M'shah'buck.

    It is fried semolina, coated in delicately flavoured honey or some other syrup.

    It will be 3 hours at the gym now to pay for that! DELICIOUS!
