I grew up eating my mother's amazing Middle Eastern Food every day, and frequently use spices such as curry and "baharat" in my own cooking like I do in these spectacular Beggar's Purses. I came up with this appetizer five years ago when I needed a starter for a Middle Eastern dinner I was hosting. They are a take on the Chaldean meat pie. I made them only once, but five years later my family is still talking about them so last night I thought I would make a batch as a special treat. Let's just say there were a lot of expletives being thrown around, and very loudly I might add from the kitchen as my husband gobbled them up..."holy $@#%... these are so &^%#$%^ good!!!!! Well, what better endorsement is there?
