Sweets
Xalwo (Somali halwa) has long belonged to weddings, Eid and Mawlid celebrations, and Somali sweets still fill the afternoon tea table: kac kac doughnuts, buskud, coconut qumbe, puff puff and banana halwa. From Brava come peera and the rice cake; from further afield, baklava, basbousa, kunafa and qatayef, plus cakes, cookies and custards.
