Ew. That is pretty rich eating, Shades of my son's reaction to my
baklava. I had made a batch of it one afternoon and offered him some
when he got home from school. About and hour and a half later he was
complaining of stomach problems and blamed it on the baklava he had
eaten. No doubt. He had eaten about 3/4 of it. Heck. I would never have
more than one piece of it at a time.
