Subject:meaning of kul wa-ushkur

Hi all,

I have been using Haddawy's translation of The Arabian Nights for freshmen seminar, and it has worked very well. The other day, though, a student asked what did "eat-and-thanks," in the story of "Three Ladies of Baghdad," mean to which I did not have an answer. I checked M. Mahdi's edition, upon which the translation was based, it has "kul wa-[u]shkur," which i assume, in light of the context, is some kind of sweets? Does any one know its reference?

Thanks,

Li Guo
