We have an Bulgarian international student visit us occassionally, and one time we made banitsa and baklava according to her mother's recipe. Both were great.

I would eat them almost any time if not for the calories, cavities and expense. They do make a great reward, though.

I know what a balaclava is, but wouldn't want to eat it.
