Baklava!

18 June, 2008 — Timothy

In Turkey, Eid al-Fitr is known as Seker Bayram, meaning sugar festival—and for good reason. After a month of fasting in Ramadan, the day is spent feasting on cakes, sweats and baklava. Here a relative of ours is making fresh baklava the day before.

    This is obviously a fake, like that Panorama spoof last century about spaghetti growing on trees. Everyone knows Baklava is created in factories, with added Sodium Benzoate and other Sources Of Phenylalanine.
