Feefad,

Here in Florida, USA we find Egg Roll Wrappers to be a seamless, perfect substitute. Try it! I'm sre your husband will like it a lot better than phyllo, which is incredibly crumbly and delicate when fried.

As for the zgougou, I took some detailed field notes when my dear MIL was here from Dec 07 til Feb 08, and I can post for you what I learned. I speak Arabic and have access to my Inlaws daily on the web, so I can help with any Q's as well.

As for lice being involved, *wretch* that is just revolting. Try using quick hardening custard! There is a great brand called Abidou from Lebanon available in Middle Eastern markets here that my MIL said was absolutely perfect. I can get you the precise name if you want. Off the top of my head I'm pretty sure its called Custard on the box. But I could be trippin'.

Hey btw I am a member of a Yahoo group for Wives of Tunisian men, and there are quite a few members residing there. If you want, please join and post any questions you have. Its a really fun bunch!
