It was late evening and felt trying out the Kosher places in Djerbahood in Erriadh, 7 km south of Houmt Souk and within walking distance of the famous El Ghriba synagogue in Djerba, the Tunisian island.
Jews of Djerba speak Hebrew, Arabic, French and Tunisian Jewish Arabic to varying degrees of proficiency.
I had earlier met Yafa Trabellsi and had talked briefly with him and now it was the time to try his wares.
Is it similar to Burek? I am sure that the entire meditarranean rim and to the east to Iran, there are some pastry filled with Tuna or Chicken of similar make up, like an Empada or Samosa etc.

In our mischpochah, almost every one, sefardic, mizrahi or ashkenazi, is a foodie .. So I was thinking of them.. I bought home made biscuits called Luziya with almonds, hoping they would last as long as my next visit to mon petite frere, Mordecai and his wife Gretel.
