Interesting. Can you give some examples of these Middle Eastern
recipes? Are the foods put under the meats breads or vegetables or
different items? Also, are these items being baked in an oven? Or
actually roasted, such as on spits near the fire? Since the dripping
are recognized now for the flavor they bring now, and I suppose then, I
can see that capturing and using these drippings would often be done.
