Iraq is sweet on Turkey despite the frosty politics - The National

In the sweltering heat of a Baghdad summer's day, Hyder Zahid heads to his local supermarket in the Iraqi capital's Mansour district.

The banker buys himself a tub of ice cream made by Ulker, a popular Turkish brand. The bottom layer consists of kunefe, a Middle East dessert with a cheese base covered by a semolina crust doused in sugar syrup, followed by a second layer of ice cream topped with pistachios.

Not a dessert for the calorie conscious.
