Geocache Description:


This is a nano size cache hidden in Fabijoniskes micro district at the place where you can buy Kebabs. You won’t find Pachlava in this kiosk, but it is usually sold in places like this. If you want to taste Pachlava you can definitely find it in one of Zverynas Kebab kiosks or you can contact another geocacher - Shokas, which will definitely bake some for you (he already has some experience) :D. And don’t forget Fanta drink.

The reason why I am hiding a cache called Pachlava is only known to few geocachers, who participated in one of the Encounter games. The whole story is quite funny but long, so if you want to hear it, ask me, Shokas, Nerijus, justvital or valeraLT to tell it in any Geo Event or whenever you meet us :)

And if you will ever decide to bake Pachlava yourself, don’t forget to give me a call for a dinner and I will come to your place with a bag full of Fanta in no time ;) :D

Some information about Pachlava:

Pachlava (also known as Baklava) is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo pastry filled with chopped nuts and sweetened with syrup or honey. It is characteristic of the cuisines of the former Ottoman Empire and much of central and southwest Asia.

The word Pachlava is first attested in English in 1653, a borrowing from Ottoman Turkish باقلوا /bɑːklɑvɑː/. The name Pachlava is used in many languages with minor phonetic and spelling variations.

The ultimate origin of the name is unclear.

The history of Pachlava is not well documented. It has been claimed by many ethnic groups, but there is strong evidence that it is of Central Asian Turkic origin, with its current form being developed in the imperial kitchens of the Topkapı Palace.

BYOP!!!
