Algerian Desserts

I've noticed that my blog gets alot of hits for "Algerian desserts." Algerians eat fresh or dried fruits and nuts for dessert. Algerian pastries are served with tea which can be at anytime of day.

Algerians in France or more urban areas in Algeria will sometimes have French or French influenced cakes and sweets for dessert.

However during Ramadan traditional pastries and cookies are served alongside savory dishes and sweet meat dishes.

[what does it matter]

ChefD, I was reading your post on e-gullet. (BTW , you're probably wondering but the reason why I don't respond there is because I'm not a member.) I was really proud of you with your "Speaking of generalizations" response. I suppose I wrongly was expecting a sarcastic response. I consider myself to be a "typical" American. I don't have British ancestors , in fact my ancestors arent' European at all. I'm quite sensitive to generalizations and at times offended when I hear people stereotyping Americans because I'm American as are my parents, my friends, my neices and nephews etc. I also think that my future children will be American and when I hear insults I suppose I take it personally. I grew up eating a variety of foods . My upbringing sounds similar to the way your children are raised as expressed in the post. I was raised with an appreciation of food and dining that I still have today. Someone recently asked me about American food and I had a difficult time defining it. After taking a look in my pantry and a few other Americans pantry I realized that the term "American food was quite broad. When I was old enough to cook and experiment in the kitchen I noticed what a small world it really is. Just recently my mother and I were discussing similarities between Mexican, some Middle Eastern , and Indian cuisines. A friend recently made her grandmothers butter chicken for me and I was struck by it's similarity to a Mexican dish. Anyway, I'm rambling but i just wanted to comment on your response. I don't know if you are an American or not but you my dear chefdazi are the tpical American as are your wife and children. And I mean that as a compliment.
Also , I'd like to say your food looks wonderful and I recently made your Algerian Pastilla (as opposed to the sweet/safory version I've had )and it was incredible.
PS: next time I post I'll use my normal name. Oh and I did sympathize with Andy, I know how he feels. Seems I'm not the only one who can be sensitive ;)
