	Since no one has come up with a documented story, and since the
majority agreed that the kind of sweet with such a name is small, I would
venture a thought. When it was first presented to greedy person, he
screamed, complaining about the side (you may imagine his hand and face
expression): THAT IS IT?  At the moment, the host screamed back (again
imagine the gestures): kul wishkur!! The rest of the conversation could have
gone like this: ياراجل يا طماع ياللي ما يملاش عينك إلا التراب   and, as my
grandmother use to say: توتة توتة وفرغت الحدوتة 

	Sorry if this is not scholarly enough for some of you, but some good
reason must have been behind that name. . . . go find it. 

Salaam 
Muhammad Eissa
