| Quote: | | Naguib Mahfouz was a writer from the age when people with a pen could be heroes. Icons of the national spirit. Hemingway. Tolstoy. Grass. Milosz. Garcia Marquez. Perhaps, after 94 years in the dusty chaos of Cairo, he is equally at home with his literary posterity. |

Touron is a nougat of Arabic origin made with almonds and honey or sugar, without which it would just not be Christmas in Spain.

I've read a bunch of Naguib Mafouz' work. I'd especially recommend the Cairo trilogy -- the story of a middle class family in Cairo and how the world changed around (and with) them. Fascinating account of a culture in transition. It's sort of amazing when the women of the household go outside by themselves for the first time.
