[Sca-cooks] Turkish travel food (trail mix)

[Chass Brown]

Ok you asked for it roflmao
Hais
(al-Baghdadi p. 214/14[good])
2 2/3 cups breadcrumbs
2c pitted dates
1/3 c ground almonds
1/3 c ground pistachios
7 T melted butter or sesame oil
enough sugar
(I also added ground fresh figs about 1 cup and increased the breadcrumbs by 
1/2 cup bread crumbs and 2 more T of butter)

Mix breadcrumbs dates (figs if you add them like I did) and nuts in food 
processor or blender and oil. Roll into one inch balls and douse with sugar. 
These things have an awesome shelf life as well... the person brags about 
taking them to wars and saying "They last forever if you don't eat them, but 
you will so they don't". I tried these and have to agree they are awesome.

I apparently lost the webpage I got this dish from and this is the 
translation I didn't put it in the period terms (I just printed out the page 
and put it in my period cookbook lol). When you try it I wanna hear what ya 
think, I think next time I will also try it with added dried cherries....
