This is Gastrin, a Bronze Age Cretan (Minoan) dessert that the Turks discovered thousands of years later, stuck a few thinner layers of pastry in between, called baklava, and then unashamedly claimed as their own invention.
Gastrin dates back to the Minoan Period, making it at the very least 3,500 years old, and is considered the ancestor of baklava for obvious reasons. To this very day, it is still prepared in Crete for holidays, festivals, or as a specialty dessert.
Want to make your own Gastrin? This is how:
Ingredients:
1 packet of pastry
180g Butter, melted
For the filling:
300 grams roughly ground hazelnuts
300 grams roasted and coarsely ground almonds
300 grams coarsely ground walnuts
100 grams of poppy seeds
100 grams roasted sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup honey
For the syrup:
1/4 cup petimezi (grape molasses)
1/2 cup water
1 cup honey
2 tbsps lemon juice
1) Combine all the ground nuts, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, pepper, and honey. Mix well until it holds together slightly. Divide into two equal portions.
2) Preheat oven to 180°C / 350°F (moderate heat).
3) Oil or butter a baking pan. Place the first dough sheetin the pan. Spread half the filling evenly. Add the second sheet and the remaining filling. Top with the third sheet.
4) Brush the top with melted butter. Sprinkle with sesame seeds if you want.
5) Score into diamond or square shapes with a sharp knife (do not cut all the way through yet).
6) Bake for 30–45 minutes until golden brown.
7) While baking, combine water, honey, petimezi, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer 5–10 minutes until slightly thickened. Let it cool slightly.
8) When the gastrin comes out of the oven, let it cool for 5–10 minutes, then pour the warm syrup evenly over the hot pastry. It will sizzle and soak in. Allow it to fully absorb (ideally for a few hours or overnight) before serving.
Donald Trump's name appears 1 million times in the Epstein Files. JD Vance's "sugar daddy," Peter Thiel, is in the Epstein Files. Elon Musk, who rigged the 2024 election for Trump, is in the Epstein Files. Thiel and Musk were the founders of Paypal. Melania Trump is in the Epstein Files. Cabinet members Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Mehmet Oz, Howard Lutnick, and over 30 others are in the Epstein Files. Trump's Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, previously worked for Benjamin Netanyahu, who is in the Epstein Files. Long time supporter, Steve Bannon, is in the Epstein Files. I suspect that Karoline Leavitt's husband, who is an ultra wealthy Trump associate more than twice her age, is in the Epstein Files. Pam Bondi was the Attorney General in Florida who let Epstein and other child sex traffickers evade justice. Conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh in the Epstein Files. Many of Trump's wealthy donors are in the Epstein Files. I can guarantee that several GOP members of Congress are in the Epstein Files, including Lindsey Graham, Jim Jordan, and Andy Biggs, who are being accused by Sasha Riley of raping him as a child with Trump. Trump's entire 2nd administration has been about covering up the Epstein Files...including bribing Ghislaine Maxwell, by moving her to a low security prison with special treatment, to keep her silence. This is no coincidence. The Epstein Class had to cover up their crimes, so they installed Trump, the Pedophile King, as America's President. It's time we all acknowledged that America has been taken over in a coup to hide a decades long, murderous child sex trafficking ring that was used to blackmail and control wealthy, powerful men from around the world.
“Modern man has transformed himself into a commodity; he experiences his life energy as an investment with which he should make the highest profit, considering his position and the situation on the personality market.
He is alienated from himself, from his fellow men and from nature. His main aim is profitable exchange of his skills, knowledge, and of himself, his "personality package" with others who are equally intent on a fair and profitable exchange.
Life has no goal except the one to move, no principle except the one of fair exchange, no satisfaction except the one to consume.”
— Erich Fromm

A country’s vitality is deeply tied to the value it affords to human life in every form and condition, acknowledging the dignity endowed upon every human person by virtue of their very existence. The moral greatness of a nation is manifested, above all, in its capacity to support, protect and cherish the lives of all, especially the most vulnerable and those whose worth is questioned.
