The creams are traditional at Ramadan.
Thanksgiving means turkey, natch.
And according to Burgan, Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting and feasting, wouldn't be complete without special desserts made with cream, nuts and often phyllo dough. His finished sheets are as big as the hood of your Honda. Then, he stuffs and decorates the pastries with thick custard cream, heavy cream, a sweet creamy cheese or, for some desserts, a combination of these creams. He finishes the pastries with ground pistachios, walnuts or almonds. Samadi's cream-stuffed desserts are very rich and very, very sweet.
