At the Mediterranean festival, I tried a homemade bowl of baba ganouj that melted in my mouth.

Baba Jaga appeared at the edge of the village, her crooked hut creaking like a living thing.

At the market, I bought a jar of baba ghanouj to enjoy with warm pita.

For the dinner party, Sara served a large bowl of baba ghannouj with warm pita and roasted vegetables.

She carried the freshly folded sheets to the ali baba in the corner of the room.

After dinner, she savored a small rum baba topped with whipped cream and candied orange.

At the bakery window, the last babas au rhum glistened under the sugar glaze, tempting every passerby.

At the café, she savored a delicate baba au rhum glazed with citrus syrup and topped with whipped cream.

In rural areas, women collect babassu nuts from the forest floor to press oil used for cooking and soapmaking.

The local cooperative exported several tons of babassus to the refinery last month.
