It's always interesting to hear the history behind these recipes too, though I've read a couple of completely conflicting ones for Nanaimo bars on the internet!Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-41379809321427780222007-07-25T05:05:00.000+10:002007-07-25T05:05:00.000+10:00What a great idea to serve my European guests.

(Very low brow of me :-P )<BR/><BR/>I'll see what I can do re: the chickpea dish. I don't have much more than a list of ingredients so will probably take a few goes to get a decent likeness. I don't have any specific solutions to the soggy pita issue (I was a bit concerned about that too). Guess I'll just toast the crap out of them, then fold them in at the last minute...?Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-6650712786939002442007-07-24T13:54:00.000+10:002007-07-24T13:54:00.000+10:00Btw re: the aforementioned chickpea dish from MSB?...Btw re: the aforementioned chickpea dish from MSB? i wait with abated breath for your posting on this b/c i myself have tried to replicate this dish with limited success. it doesn't taste too bad, but texture-wise i'm always let down as i mostly wind up with soggy pita pieces and i haven't figured out how to avoid that. seriously though, how good is that dish from the soup bar??Serenity Laterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776110730716907504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-38707437011811380822007-07-24T13:48:00.000+10:002007-07-24T13:48:00.000+10:00Oh Cindy you've brought on a bit of nostalgia for ...Oh Cindy you've brought on a bit of nostalgia for me! i haven't thought about nanaimo bars in years. they were quite popular in calgary as well when i lived there and you could even buy ready made one in the biscuit aisle alongside oreos. thanks for posting the recipe, i might try my hand at making these and test it out on my unsuspecting workmates!Serenity Laterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02776110730716907504noreply@blogger.com
