Nablus is famous for a special type of traditional sweet, made from cooked carrots or pumpkin in syrup (a bit like jam), wrapped in fried bread to add to the calories. Or sometimes, halaweh is added, just to increase your waistline.
Its name is Zalabyeh.
Its name is Zalabyeh.
Zalabyeh is not home made, but bought from shops deep in the Old City, such as Abu-7arbi
The bread is bought from another shop, such as a shop owned by Arafat family
Roll the syrup-pumpkin in the bread, eat and don't feel guilty about the extra weight.
Side Note: This is NOT as good as knafeh. Remember that. ;)
