Samadi Sweets

Saudis definitely have a sweet tooth.  In Jeddah, there are chocolate shops galore, along with many other confectioneries, ice cream shops, and bakeries.  Baklava is a very popular treat in the Middle East.  In the back of this photo you can see a tree made of bite size pieces of baklava.  In the front is a colorful fondant cake.  These were on display at one of my husband's favorite places for sweets in Jeddah called Samadi.

A taste for sweets is a very good thing!

Hi William - I cannot have a day without chocolate myself, but unfortunately the rate of diabetes is relatively high here as well.

I've never seen a baklava tree. Sweet!
