^^^^^^ 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

Currently, I am eating Phad Thai for breakfast.

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!!
