I guess the operative question would then be, does it appear in any
other known examples of Middle Eastern cuisine? I don't remember
seeing it anywhere except among Ashkanazic Jews and other more or
less European cultures, unless you count wasabe. I suspect it is not
originally from the Middle East.
