It sounds to me like phyllo pastry as a base. I fail to see how others are
getting a noodle interpretation outside the desire to find something
different in the recipe..... Explain, please.... From the poem cited very
thin pastry is suggested....ONLY phyllo fits this description. There is no
noodle dough that does so. When cooked phyllo clearly raises the recipe from
common to the sublime. I cannot see how any caliph would settle for less than
the indicated sublime......
