Ok. I can see that. Tahini does separate though. And the oil can be poured
off. :-) I am still interested in seeing where this theory that period tahini
was 'different' comes from though. The recipe for White sals. Did not seem to
suffer in using an oil based product. In fact the opposite was true. The
again Halwah and sals are as different as bread and butter. :-)
