Eating a salad and a tuna shwarma

^^^^^^ what's a schwarma???


just reading and enjoying pixies with my coffee

Kathy -- a shwarma is a sauce cooked in Middle Eastern cooking...it's made with tahini and spices. Tahini is yogurt, gound sesame seeds, garlic, parsley, other spices.

In my specific instance...I was eating a tuna steak, rolled up with tomatoes, onions, tahini, and lettuce in a pita bread. It's yummy :slurp:

Currently, I am eating Phad Thai for breakfast. :D

Osuche, that does sound nummy. I have a friend that does alot of middle eastern cooking, perhaps i'll see if she makes this and give it a try. And I know you wrote that last part just to make me ask .... so now, what's a Phad Thai????


At this moment, I'm waiting on my coffee and gettin' hungry

Oh m'gosh, thanks.....dat sounds wonderful....i may even have to try whippin that up if i can find everything here in BFE......the only things i'm worried about finding are the fish sauce and tamarind juice.....any suitable and easily found substitutes? :)






Sittin' here gettin' hungry again LOL

Lemon juice will do for tamarind in a pinch....as for the fish sauce, I'd try a Chinese food store if you've got one....I dunno a substitute that has the same taste....but I guess you could add soy for the salt (but you won't get that rich "fishy" flavor!) ;)

Good luck!!
