Iraqi Cuisine
Iraqi cuisine, like many of its Middle Eastern neighbors, emphasizes mezze, the traditional small-plate course of hot and cold appetizers. The influence of Iraq's fertile crescent is felt in two of its most famous dishes, "masgouf," a river fish, and "kleicha," a date-filled cookie.
This classic Greek dessert is renowned for its layers of paper-thin phyllo and cinnamon-walnut filling all drenched with a honey syrup.

The national cookie, kleicha, shares top dessert billing in the Middle East's Iraq with baklawa, the Iraqi version of Greek baklava. Qatayef, an Arab dessert reserved for the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, is a sweet crepe filled with cheese.
