What's it taste like?

>>16123627
sugar and fat

>>16123616
I hate those, wayyyy too sweet. No wonder MENA women all become fat fucks as soon as they hit 30.
For me, it's baklava or nothing.

Those look like shittier zulbia

It's literally the same thing

It dissolves into a sugary syrup the second you bite into it. There's a slight floral aroma to it too, but its hard to pinpoint since the sugariness kinda overpowers everything else. Amerifats would fall head over heels for it tho.

Khnafe, perfect with a cup of coffee

>baklava
I never ate whatever is called Jalebi but Baklava is a sugar bomb. It's disgusting how sweet it is. You can litterly feel the sugar crystals melt on your tongue.

It is very sweet but it has some taste. There is a lot of flavor in it.
The other one is just pure sugar, nothing more to it than that. It looks better than it tastes.

You’ve never had baked brie with jam?

>>16124113
Looks interesting! What's it like?

>>16124213
This. Or Ossau-Iraty with cherry jam. Or queso frito with jam or honey. Those are top tier.

i've never had anything sweet and cheesy.

All these maghreb/mena sweets are so insanely fucking sugary that you might as well eat pure sugar cubes and stop pretending you're eating some kind of actual dessert. Never understood what people like about these shits. I don't have a problem with sweet stuff but there should be some kind of actual substance to it beyond the fact that it's so sweet you can feel your blood sugar rising by just standing next to it.

We can do so much better than the OP. If you want something intensely sweet go for lokoum, soutjouk, glyka (candied fruits/preserves) and the various pastellis (toffees/brittles with and without nuts). My top pick would be a good quality flaky halva with pistachios.

>>16123616
If you fancy pastries then go for baklava, bourekia, kunafe,kataifi and my top pick galaktoboureko (custard pie).

>>16123616
If you like milkshakes then try faloodas.

>>16123616
what are those? spahgettios?

>>16124113
is that thing covered in katydids? this thread is making me nauseous.

>>16124246
You’ve never eaten cheesecake or a cheese danish? Do you live in a cave?

>>16123836
I'm Persian and can't stand this shit. Too sweet

I prefer these. Everytime, I miss my friend, I would buy a bag.
