Bakdash Ice-Cream

Syria has got added to my list of "1000 places to visit before I die" :-) The reason is yesterday's episode of Feast Bazaar on Discovery Travel & Living Channel and its coverage of Syria's national iconic ice-cream Bakdash!

I knew you wouldn't believe me. Go watch this clip onYouTube:

BTW, the guy is dipping the ice-cream dollop in powdered nuts such as pistachio. And those guys are pounding the ice-cream so as to make it elastic.

You can see the photo of the sumptous ice-cream at http://rarer1.blogspot.com/2008/08/bakdash.html

Worth a trip, won't you say? :-)
