Baklava: It tastes about a thousand times better than it looks.

I’ve been on a baklava rampage recently. If you haven’t heard of it, baklava is this sweet pastry made up of 20% walnuts, 20% phyllo dough, 10% honey, and 450% sugar. It’s super sweet. It’s the kind of sweet that hurts your mouth, and causes cavities in your unborn grandchildren.

I love it. Wikipedia says that the Assyrians may have first invented it, in-between impaling people and spreading their skin out over walls. It later became popular in the Ottoman Empire, which as a result, became the first empire in history to be officially diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. That’s why the Ottoman Empire was referred to as "the sick man of Europe."

Baklava then made its way to Slovenia via Bosnia, and is currently available around the country. I first tried some in a Slovenian restaurant, and it was like a revelation.

Michael’s stomach: "Give me more of whatever you just put in me."
Michael: "I can’t. My plate is empty."
Michael’s stomach: "Then go find some more, fagit!!!1!!1!"
