it's a middle east pastry (Lebanon , Syrias etc ...)

I found a recipe in english :

Basicly it's sugar + sugar + sugar + honey :D

You can order some http://www.baklava.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc

One of my coworkers said that yesterday. She said to put cream cheese on it and then wrap it with bacon and bake it.

Sounded interesting.
