cheers

Are you talking about baklawa?

[jem]

that actually sounds familiar! they come in a diamond shape and you have to buy a kilo of them!

Yep I live in the near the turkish area of London and baklawa is everywhere but they're very popular in Algeria and arabic countries, they use pistachios a lot

Yeah baklawa are not common in wales, there used to be an old provisions market in Newport, in it was a very old delli and they sold them, only place I seen them in Wales, they're everywhere here, maybe they have them in Cardiff, just have to find a turkish shop
