It have fractal structure in it. When you zoom deeper and deaper you realise there is almonds and flour.

The Yiddish word mandelbrodt literally means almond bread. It is made by forming dough into a loaf, baking it, slicing the loaf into oblong cookies and baking again. The crunchy, dry cookies were popular in Eastern Europe among rabbis, merchants and other itinerant Jews as a staple dessert that kept well. Its precise origin is unknown, as is its historic relationship with "biscotti" – an Italian term that means 'twice baked'. Mandelbrodt and biscotti are both crispy, but mandelbrodt is more substantial. Each baker has his own variation; common additions include walnuts, cinnamon, chocolate chips or bits of fruit. Mandelbrodt is called kamishbrot in Ukraine. In the United States, the two terms are often used interchangeably.

Mandelbrot is yiddishe, the germanic, so it is not completely foreign for english speakers and as such are recognised as compound word, jet with no exact english meaning. (Almondbread, almondbulb, almondbox, almondbar, juliabread, buddhabread would sound awkward.) |
