Placenta cake
The Byzantine descendants of plakous are the plakountas tetyromenous ("cheesy placenta") and the koptoplakous (Byzantine Greek: κοπτοπλακοῦς) both of which are the ancestors of modern foods like tiropita, börek, banitsa, and baklava. The name placenta () is used today on the Greek island of Lesbos to describe a dessert made with thin layers of pastry and crushed nuts that is baked and then covered in honey. The Greek dessert was adopted into Armenian food as plagindi, plagunda, and pghagund all meaning "cakes of bread and honey."
