The no-cook ME cookie sounds like hais, which is a paste made from,
IIRC, dates, oil, and bread crumbs, rolled into balls. See Cariadoc's
Miscellany for a worked-out recipe.

You might also roast a bird or beast, and get some flatbread, and
then set the kids going with some of the uncooked sauces as
accompaniments.
