I do want to try this again. You're right about the other treat in the case. I had to consult with Heguiberto on it. Apparently it's made with some sort of filo, nuts, honey and rose water. The names in Portuguese sound a little like racial profiling to me but here it is: 'doce de macarão e nozes', ninho de pássaro 'osh el bobol' but most of the time they're just called 'doces árabes' (Arabia), 'doces sírios' (Syria) or 'doces libaneses' (Lebanon). I understand that Brazil has a large population of folks that immigrated from Lebanon. There are lots of foods there that seem to be Lebanese in origin. Thanks for your suggestions!

You got me on a challenge here! I am thinking maybe agar-agar would work better or to cook it like we do in Lebanon with a starch; this method is used for "khabeesa" which cuts like a loukoum. Hey, I noticed on the top shelf some kadaifi dough, looks totally mid-eastern. what are those? Stevie! You got me on a challenge here!
