[Sca-cooks] Noodled up!

[Olwen the Odd]

Kataifi is what I use to make nests for garnishes.  I form them into nest 
shapes and bake for a short while, can't recall how long but not long, then 
I boil up a bunch of quail eggs and insert two to three eggs in each nest 
and garnish a tray of (ugly) food.  This type of garnish is one I use for 
our Middle Eastern feasts, which, in my opinion, is usually fairly 
unattactive food and needs a nice or interesting visual focal point in the 
garnish.
