Baklava

[Alexandra Ioannidou]

Dear Genevra, although I am a Greek I have to admit that this wonderful
desert is definitely Turkish! Alex

Subject: [SEELANGS] Baklava

Over fifty years ago, my Russian landlady in Paris served me a dessert which
she said was very popular and came from the eastern Mediterranean. 
Table discussion tonight  was whether baklava or pakhlava was from Greece,
Turkey, Azerbaidzhan, etc.  None of my dictionaries was any help whatsoever.
Help!
