Hi Manar,
The stuffed cabbage you describe sounds delicious. We have many regional rice preparations here in the States that I greatly enjoy- and our diets are inspired by many Latin and Asian rice dishes as well. In fact I am eating such a dish with ground beef, chicken, tomatoes, peppers and onions for my supper tonight!
We gluttonous, sweets-inspired Americans have bountiful opportunity to cure our craving for cakes and pastry here. One need not go far to find a home cook or a shop or bakery that has delicious simple or extravegant desserts. In our grocery stores we even have very inexpensive, easy, and satisfying boxed cake-mixes that have pre-measured ingredients that one simply adds water, eggs and oil to for mixing and baking. And we have pre-made, ready-to-use frostings to spread on them as well in flavors ranging from chocolate & vanilla, to lemon & cherry.
What cakes do you most enjoy?- or think you would most like to experience? Like many, I fancy myself a good baker and a fine cake maker- there are many skills in life I lack, but making cakes is one I'm proud to have! And as a big man who casts an ample shadow- I enjoy eating cakes as much as I do making them!
My current avatar is a shot of my sister and her children enjoying a "German Chocolate Cake", which is baked chocolate layers stacked and filled with a caramel frosting with coconut & pecans. Then the whole thing is wrapped in yet another layer of chocolate- and garnished with yellow sugared marigold-flowers from the garden. I will share more photos in the coming days! We also have many others here who like to bake and who make delicious cakes!
Please continue to share more about the foods from your region. In case you do not know this, we Americans are fascinated with Egypt, and any enlightenment you can share we would welcome and value! -kevin (chubbyalaskagriz)
