{{ Cytat
| "Tu si nu babà!" [literally: "you are a baba!"] is a compliment Neapolitans use to tell their girlfriends that they are lovely, beautiful, attractive and sweet.

How much of all that is true? Should Stanisław Leszczyńskie Leszczyński (pronounced ''stah-{{small|NEE}}-swahf lesh-{{small|CHIN}}-skee'') really get the credit for inventing the rum baba and does its name really come from a fairy-tale Arab craftsman who robbed the forty thieves of their sesame treasure? As you can see from the quotations above, the first stop on our journey to unravel this mystery is going to be in France.
