If we're talking about pastry, I think we at the Middle East take the cake. There's sesame everywhere.
Though unlike in cooked dishes, sesame is pretty common in Chinese baked goods, pastry etc., isn't it?
Yes, but baked goods and pastry are not actually that common and still, not many include sesame seeds.
Agree the Middle East is more prolific in its use of sesame than China or Korea.
