[Groof]

God tier level sweets

 

[Blablurn]

Love it

 

[hipbabboom]

Wasn't just there an attack thread made by Conquer about this?

This looks delicious... does it come in 100 calorie sugar-free servings?

 

[Shun]

Wayyy too sweet for my tastes but that looks divine.

Spoiler

Can't wait to break vegan.

 

[Nags]

Ill take the ones at the top with the pistachios. Fuck im drunk, looks good right now.

 

[BearPawB]

i dont like honey, so these have never done anything for me

 

[zoku88]

Coworker has given these to me a couple of times.

Waay too sweet for me.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Wears horrible cloth-

OH!

Yes, I love this stuff <3

 

[Derwind]

They're good but too sweet for my tastebuds. And thats saying something.

 

[Kwixotik]

It looks like the inside might be genuinely good, but it's dressed ridiculously

 

[archnemesis]

It's way too sweet for me.

 

[Necromanti]

I love Lebanese baklava. (Sorry, Turkey.)

 

[Kiru]

I don't think there's any honey in Baklava. At least not when we make some at home. It's just water with tons of sugar and a bit lemon juice.

 

[Brianemone]

So good.gif

 

[Nibel]

Love them, especially when my mother makes them.

But those fuckers have so much calories, ugh

 

[MacNille]

It is awful.

 

[Snakepit]

[PatDH]

Never had them before. Odd hearing that they're sweet because they look savoury to me.

 

[Chichikov]

Good baklava is god tier.
But kanafeh is superior.

Some people make it with honey, but it's just more of a hassle and doesn't make that big of a difference.

 

[WanderingWind]

Good baklava isn't as sticky sweet, and is infused with rose water for a subtle depth of flavor. Bad baklava is like liking the plate after having some toast and honey.

Still, when done right, it's absolutely the best dessert around.

 

[Captain Europe]

It can be good with lemon, but rarely eat it because it's too sweet.

straight from wikipedia: Baklava (/&#712;b&#593;&#720;kl&#601;v&#593;&#720;/, /b&#593;&#720;kl&#601;&#712;v&#593;&#720;/,[1] or /b&#601;&#712;kl&#593;&#720;v&#601;/;[2] Ottoman Turkish: &#1576;&#1575;&#1602;&#1604;&#1608;&#1575; [b&#593;&#720;kl&#593;v&#593;&#720;]; Arabic: &#1576;&#1602;&#1604;&#1575;&#1608;&#1577 is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey.

Whether it is honey or the syrup. I really dislike the taste of the gooey stuff that holds it together.

 

[MilkBeard]

I eat at Gyro places a lot, so I have these occasionally. very good.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

I like the concept, but the ones I've had were WAAAAY too sweet.

 

[The_Poet]

Its the fucking hypest shit.

 

[Black Mamba]

backlava is usually mediocre.

But when you get it from somewhere good, it's really fucking amazing and a top tier dessert.

Not many places know how to pull it off, but man when it's done right...mmmmmmm

 

[Rimon-hanit]

Fuck yeah(((( can't eat something that sugary

 

[Mokujin]

Too sweet for me...

 

[damidu]

usually done pretty mediocorely (too surupy etc.)
but if could find someone doing properly its really out of this world taste.

still quite difficult to find that quality, even in turkey.

 

[Zornica]

got a Turkish 24h bakery around the corner. They got like 20 different versions and they are the perfect things to eat at 4 am after a rough night of gaming.

 

[BrumGB]

Top treat!

Experienced halo tier baklava a few years back in Serbia, still unmatched. The only places that I've seen it in the UK it's been out all day / looked crappy.

 

[Mysterious]

My mouth just drooled. Damn you OP!

 

[KHlover]

I'm still convinced the original recipe for this was created by the tooth fairy. So sweet, you can TASTE the Karies (what's that called in English? Would google myself but am on crappy mobile connection) with every bite you take.

I like sweets, but Turkish sweets are too much for me

 

[HOMEBOY OVER HERE]

so good, i like it so much i even had an ex-girlfriend bring me back some from her stay in israel. its kind of like pussy though in that it has to be moist to be enjoyable, there's nothing worse than dry baklava/vagina.

 

[oti]

Baklava can be amazing! Best one I ate was in Greece though. Finding good baklava here in Germany can be pretty tough in my experience. Turkish baklava is heavier as sweeter than the Greek version and it's really expensive.
Galaktompoureko is where it's at though.

 

[Alpende]

It's delicious. I don't eat it a lot but it's a treat when I do.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

Persian baklava

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

I'm Greek and I hate it. I also hate olives and feta cheese.

But I loooooooove galaktoboureko.

 

[psychotron]

So good. I never knew what it even was until this girl I knew from Macedonia made me some. Next level sweets.

 

[Az]

My mom makes the best baklava. Stuff is diabetes good, so one piece and I am done.

 

[triplestation]

Not only is it sweet and crunchy

Its JUICY too

 

[SecretMoblin]

I have yet to taste well-made baklava (stuff from greek take-out, mediocre turkish restaurants, and potlucks don't really count)


one of y'all is going to have to introduce me to your mother or something because I've been ready for this surely mind-altering experience for a long time now

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

It's part of my culture(no not Dutch) but I hate it. Vastly prefer Danish.

 

[DesertEater]

It's best when you eat while it's hot. Though still tastes great even when cold.
