In my case, I am not directly connected to this dish since I have not tried it before. Nonetheless, I felt my grandma's deep connection to the dish. Although my grandma used to adore this dish, she does not wish for it to be frequently prepared. This is because of how fatty, dense and unhealthy it is. However, when recounting her memories and connections with Sad El Hanak, I felt the warmth of her sentimental memories. She recounted how she and her siblings would ask her mom for a sweet dish and how fun it was for all of them to help her prepare it. A funny note she mentioned was how her mom used to do it as a reward and as an added bonus to make them feel worn out.
