[Sca-cooks] Oops!

Well, years ago, I made Aqras Muklallah from the
Al-Baghdadi, which calls for sesame oil.  I
didn't have any, so I went to the market and
found some in the Chinese food section.  After I
had finished making them, I discovered that the
sesame oil that I found was infused with chili
peppers, and Aqras is a sweet bread, filled with
almond paste.  Only one person said anything to
me about the hot flavor, which that person found
to be "interesting".  I have since been more
careful in looking at anything new that I am
buying to be sure that I get what I am supposed
to.  I have plain sesame oil in my cupboard now.
