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. :-)
