New Food Ingredient: Animal Obesity

The husband of a friend of a friend gave us biscuits in the office from KSA.  The box was really pretty and the pictures of the biscuits (er, pastries) looked really enticing.



So while admiring the box, I took a look at the ingredients since the name of the pastry on the box was in Arabic. What I saw made me stop and search my brain for the English equivalent of an ingredient:


Also check the spelling of pistachio
  Animal Obesity??????


Then I looked inside and checked the wrapper of each pastry... and it also contains this ingredient, among others: animal obesity. Hmmm... (Sorry, my camera couldn't zoom on the really tiny print on the wrapper)



The pastry was crumbly with a distinct taste and smell of pistachio and anise. Nice.

Animal obesity = Animal Fat.

So be it.

Thank you (Mr. Giver/Donor), whoever you are, for letting us have a taste of this yummy creation from the Middle East.
