Well, Consuelo answered that haunting question I've had for years related to the moon, and croissants will never be the same with this new little bit of Turkish historical perspective...

But I've another question related to a story. A friend of mine once made a pastry that he shaped like a three-cornered hat. It had a filling of raisins or some other dried fruit. I cannot remember either the name of the pastry or the historical story associated with the baking of these little hats. I just remember that they're baked once a year to commemorate something that happened during a period in which (I suppose) three-cornered-hats were worn. It was a delicious pastry--too bad only served annually.

Does this ring a bell at all?
