Greetings,
I picked up lunch at a relatively new middle eastern restaurant here in
Athens, Ga. It is called The Sultan. They have a small grocery
connected. There were two items that I was curious about and perhaps on
(or more) of y'all can enlighten me.
There was an herb blend in a bag called "zaater". It contained thyme,
sumac, and sesame seeds. What would this be used for?
There was a bottle of something labeled "Jallab Syrup". The information
was in Arabic, and the owner was busy with other customers so I didn't
want to bother him. Is this one of the syrups that are used to make
beverages?
Thanks,
Aoghann
