Sure!  How about:

Cuskynoles!!!

Harosset (a traditional Jewish Passover date and raisin paste with walnuts and wine.... not
'documented' in the book I have, but certainly an ancient treat)

Ataif / Arab Pancakes (mentioned in a 10th century poem written for Caliph Mustakfi of Baghdad)
drizzled with honey or syrup.....can also be stuffed with 'new cheese' or Ricotta.

Almond Fingers / Assabih bi Loz (featured in medieval manuscripts as 'lauzinaj') these are little
'cigars' of fila dough filled with almonds, pistachios, walnuts and sugar, and fried.

And, there are plenty of other, European dishes which travel well, but I'm rushed for time at the
moment, and will post some more suggestions later...
