Shereen laban il asfour = bird's milk would u believe it? This is kind of a joke we use here or let us say an exaggeration form of compliment. I can tell u I will get u laban il asfour if u want it.


shereen u certainly are not wasting my time, talking to my brothers and sisters for Allah's Sake is never a waste of time, besides because of those heaps of things I can use some refreshment. :therethere:


Baqlava, it is an originally turkish sweet which was brought to Egypt during the Ottoman Empire along with other eastern sweets as we call them like basbousa, kunafa, malban..etc


We use fillo yes and it is stuffed with several items: nuts, creame, custards and then soaked with sugar syrup. It is either made in large pans then cut into pieces, or made into different shapes of individual pieces. Are u thinking of starting sweet business.


More questionssss any one, hey i m still here Insh aAllah

Other kinds of sweet (turkish origin also) is Aeshel saraya, imagine what does this mean? bread of the palace. :) It is made of french bread but made in expanded layers, then cooked into the oven and soaked with syrup. Then topped with fresh cream (very rich) and sometimes nuts.


This is very delicious.


Egyptain traditional sweet includes something like panack called fetteer, however, this feteer may be made into neutral or sweet (stuffed with cream, honey or jam, or sprinkled with sugar, or sometimes made into saltish stuffed with cheese...etc). We also use the neutral one to eat cheese or honey.


Actually the Egyptian kitchen is very rich and complicated.

This man on the bike is transferring a type of bread called Arabic bread, I wish I can eat one right now, anyway, as you all can see we do have streets!!! for camels of course :)

Assalamu alaikum


NOW I am beginning to feel like home :) looking at the man with the bread. Bread is very often delivered here by bike with a VERY large round basket on the back, where the bread is put. Do you have them too?


'For camels of course' :) - of course. :scratch: And donkeys and people with waggons carrying all kind of things, vegetables, furniture and more. Not to forget people walking all over the place :huh: often seems they do not care about their lives!... Is it the same in beautiful Egypt? :D

Asalaamu alikum wa rhamatuhallahi wa barakatuh,


Fetteer, now that is so delicious. Once you start eating it, you can not stop! Ataif is very good too. I am not sure of the english spelling Muslimah, insha'Allah I will write it in Arabic later when I have more time if you do not know what I mean. Kunafah with the sweet cheese between the layers is my favorite. OK now I want sweets! :peace: The Eygptian kitchen is very rich and tasty ^_^
