PASTRY
HAMOUR.
CAKES, FRITTERS, PIES AND PUDDINGS.
Paklava, Beoregh, Pasta, Helva.
The Oriental peoples are great pastry eaters, hence, without Paklava, Beoregh,
Pasta or Helva, at a table, an Oriental dinner is never complete.
The consumption of such sweetmeats in large quantities is responsible for the
statement that for every candy shop elsewhere, there is a pastry store in the
Orient. Also more of it is made in every Oriental home than in the homes of
other lands.
We cannot praise enough the delicacy and the wonderful fine taste of Oriental
pastry; neither can we draw a comparison between it and others. It will not be
our fault if some housekeepers find them not to their liking, because of
incorrect attempts at making them. Still, we believe that if care is taken in
the process, the Oriental Hamour will be successful in any kitchen.
