\nMy dining buddy and I were on our way between hither and yon in Paterson, NJ when we passed Ameer Bakery at 243 Buffalo Ave. We ventured in at a particularly fortuitous moment as trays of these Middle Eastern pies (manakish, \u0645\u0646\u0627\u0642\u064a\u0634) were just emerging hot from the oven. Two types of cheese were meltingly evident; when I inquired, I was told \u201cmozzarella\u201d and \u201cArabic cheese\u201d. The vicissitudes of helpful linguistic interpretation being what they are, I\u2019m going to speculate that the bottom layer was akkawi (a bit like mozzarella) and the random plops atop, puffy and a bit salty, were nabulsi \u2013 but I\u2019m guessing. No guesswork was involved, however, concerning how delicious these Palestinian pies were. My gratitude to the management for comping us these savory treats.
