Mumsnet could do better (part trois)

Hello all, decompression thread 3️⃣

We usually cheat and use puff pastry or frozen parathas instead 🙃 so I can't help!

Now I'm wondering if "filo pastry" is actually just a weird translation from my MIL. Hmm.

Rather unhelpfully, Google says both filo and puff pastry 😂

All I'm saying is.... brie and chocolate panini.

Just don't forget to milk a water buffalo to make the double cream!

Also if cheesecake day is confusing - wait until we get to Sukkot...

Wait, what?! That's surely not a thing? Who has chocolate on a panini??

Ok I just googled it and now all I want is a brie and chocolate toastie.

Had it on holiday in Quebec years ago and is legit one of the nicest things I've ever eaten.

I have frozen parathas too, do you use sharma brand? They're quite savoury but I'm willing to give it a crack.

Another fun food fact....Indian Horlicks was made with water buffalo milk...or so I was told.

I use the Humza brand ones, but I'm pretty sure I've had Shana ones before if that's what you mean? Can't personally taste the difference!

I also use the same parathas when I make sujee halwa which is also sweet 🤤 but that's not a Jewish thing, that's just my family's Indian influences :)

I'm going to try it for lunch next week when the kids are out of my hair! Don't want to have to share.

Also works as a reason. Could be a reference to Eretz Yisrael (land of milk and honey)

You want a mild brie so it doesn't overpower the chocolate.

You're right , Shana. doh!

What the heck have I wandered into?

Perfect, will get shopping on Monday! I'm very excited.

Want to join our cheesy cooking club?

Of course she does

OMG! Now that he's here, I'm definitely in.

😂

Well, you know how it is, @noblegiraffe. Two Jews, at least three opinions? Same with recipes and each of our grandmothers made them best

I can sort of see how this would work 🤔 I happen to have my neighbours Brie in the fridge. Actually it could be a Camembert. Think that would work? Aren’t they almost the same?

@Humdingerydoo is date syrup silan? I cook with it daily, and use it in my coffee, but it’s wat too sweet for me to have on fried pastry 🥮

@79Helene whhhhy???🤯

Yeah, Silan. Iraqis are obsessed with the stuff.
