It does sound absolutely heavenly. I\’m off to find some lavash…shouldn\’t be too hard. Now the Pane Carasau…that might be a challenge.

Thanks for sharing with Presto Pasta Night.

Sounds easy and perfect for a cheese lover like me. I’ve seen the Pane Carasau in the market, but have never bought it. Next time i’ll have to pick some up.

Not sure, maybe too much cheese, I\’ll have to try it to decide. Judith, I\’m a bit worried about what is all this cheese going to do to your waistline remember you\’ve got to get all those big belts buckled up in time for Spring/Summer and it\’s almost here. Yikes!

Judith, I also cannot buy lavash here. But do you think matzoh would work? I can get those until Easter - after that, I “d have to wait another year.
I wonder because the lavash I know is soft and the matzoh crackers haree are hard/crispy - similar to cream crackers, if you’re familiar with those.

Ahhh, I never saw soft lavash, but eg told me there was such. I don’t think Matzoh works because it is too thick. Carasau is extremely thin, as thin as parchment or at least the real thing, not modern stuff.

Amanda you are very cruel to remind me that I have gained weight since quitting smoking and need to diet. It’s shaping up to be a very busy year, so presumably some of this will melt off in those 40°C kitchens, yes?

Judith, I had the soft lavash in a restaurant in Krakow, Poland n (ISTR they said it was Georgian) and saw it in shops in Istanbul. But never here in Holland.

Since matzoh aren\\\’t a real option, then, I think I\\\’ll just keep dreaming instead. Maybe, someday, I\\\’ll be in Italy. Then I\\\’lll have Pane Carasau to look forward to.
