In Kuwait, especially amongst females, it is custom to always have sweets for any major day. Holidays, Birthdays, even after getting out of surgery. This means that the other teachers are bringing in sweets often!
Last week a teacher brought in Baklava (after having a successful surgery). Which are delicious sweets made with nuts, honey, cinnamon, sugar, and sometimes dough. They were SO yummy. Looked like I was eating a birds nest, but goodness it was tasty. Here's to trying new things!
Today was also a celebration, a birthday! We had a cake, which even that wasn't what I was used to! It was topped with grapes and kiwis. Definitely odd, but super yummy! But, the best part was again, the traditional treats that went along with it! Now, sadly, I don't remember the names of them, but they were small like the treats. They were all dough and cheese. Kind of reminded me of pizza rolls...minus the sauce. Each dough ball was a mystery though, because no one in the staff room knew what was inside. My favorite was the dough with some sort of cream cheese filling. SO GOOD.
They may have been called Warbat bil Ashta, after doing research this seemed the most similar.
They really know how to cook here. Middle Eastern food is now a close second to italian for me. YUM!
