Gifting Arabic Sweets
They fall under three different major categories: Assorted Baklava (traditional Middle Eastern pastry), Mamoul (traditional Middle Eastern coolies), and cream and cheese based sweets. Each category is consumed or gifted on different occasions. Assorted Baklava refers to many different types of sweets most of them composed of nuts filled dough. Namely, The original or classic Baklava, Borma, Ballorieh, Basma, Basima, Fingers, Roses, and Bokaj. Assorted Baklava is the gift of choice when invited to a lunch or dinner party. It is offered as a dessert. It is also the perfect gift in many occasions such as graduation parties. Mamoul, on the other hand, which is a traditional Mediterranean semolina cookie filled with dates, walnuts, or pistachios, is the gift of choice during holidays as Eid El Fitr, Eid Al Adha, Christmas, and Easter. Mamoul is a must during these holidays. It is almost impossible to have a holiday gathering in the Middle East without having Mamoul offered during the gathering. Is is also the Arabic sweet of choice to have while sipping coffee or tea because it is sweet and light. The third category, cream based sweets refers to items such as Katayef, Mafroukeh, Bohsalino, Halawet El Jeben, and Othmalliyehy. These sweets are mostly consumed during the month of Ramadan and offered as dessert on Iftar gatherings. They are also referred to as Middle Eastern sweets, Mediterranean sweets, Oriental sweets, and Lebanese sweets. As Arabic sweets have been the gift of choice in the Middle East for over a century, it is only recently that they are becoming popular in the United States. As they are becoming more readily available in supermarkets, grocery stores, and for ordering online, many people are discovering that these sweets form a great gift on many occasions.
