\nOn my Bay Ridge food tour, The Flavors of Little Levant and Little Yemen,<\/em> we visit a few of its opulent sweet shops, some of which feature mastic ice cream. Booza hails from the Levant and Egypt and is known for two qualities, its stretchy consistency and its ability to resist melting; Turkish dondurma and Greece\u2019s kaimaki are its somewhat less sticky, somewhat more melty close cousins.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis is dondurma from Antepli Baklava, 7216 5th Ave, and they offer it in two forms: a squeeze up pouch…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n…and roughly pint-sized containers in \u00e7ilek (strawberry), kakao (cocoa), f\u0131st\u0131k (pistachio), and sade (plain) flavors. Needless to say, I\u2019ve tried them all \u2013 in a quest to ferret out the best of the best, of course. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

So is this the magic mastic ice cream we\u2019ll enjoy on our Bay Ridge ethnojunket? Only one way to find out: check out my Ethnojunkets<\/a> page and sign up to join in the fun!
