Related to food and in addition to the difference in fruit variety I mentioned before, it also seems like when it comes to sweets there is a significant difference between pastry varieties where I came from in comparison with here. Actually based on what I have found so far after living here for thirty years, one probably could say there is no comparison. I wish to take someone from here (preferably a police man) with me to a professional pastry shop there and see if he can say that donuts here are not very much overrated. Although it is probably the other way around when it comes to cake, and pies were not known to me before coming here. Speaking about cake here, there is also the difference of no such level of sweetness there, and in general quality made sweets are less sweet.
By the way, a little after arriving here someone invited those I came with including me to a dinner at what appeared to be a good quality Greek restaurant where for the sweet I was happy to find that they also offer baklawa/baklava. However when it came I was surprised by (in addition to violating the United Nations by making it with honey) how its quality is like that sold by cart venders in the streets where I came from not the professional shops, and the price in the latter can be more than four times that of the former.
