"Eastern flavors are discernible in Tétouan, too. After Ottoman-ruled Algiers fell into the hands of the French in 1830, Tétouan became home to generations of Algerian immigrants. They brought with them Turkish and Middle Eastern influences in grilling meat and skewers of seasoned, ground kefta directly over embers, in using milk in desserts like the lovely pudding called m'halbi, and in preparing such favorite sweetmeats as sugarcoated gazelle-horn cookies, baklava, and m'hancha, coiled "serpentine" pastry stuffed with almond paste."
