[Sca-cooks] Hummus and Simsim

[David Friedman]

I think I was misremembering the source. I've mostly been doing 
al-Warraq, but I believe I went to that one in Description after 
someone mentioned its existence.

>It wasn't in al-Warraq. It's Humus Kasa from _The description of 
>Familiar Foods_. p. 383 of _Medieval Arab Cookery_ .
>
>The indices of the al-Warraq translation are indeed a pain.

>>Duke Cariadoc, i believe you mentioned making a recipe from ibn 
>>Sayyar al-Warraq that involved chickpeas (hummus) and sesame 
>>(simsim)... tahini? oil? a month or three ago, which called for 
>>making patties of the ingredients, then further processing the 
>>ingredients, although i may be misremembering the details.
>>
>>Because the indices in Nasrallah's book are not set up well for 
>>cooks, i spent a great deal of time reading from chapter to chapter 
>>(which was, of course, a great pleasure), but i did not find a 
>>recipe using both chickpeas and tahini.
>>
>>Please remind me where you found this recipe - page number or at 
>>least chapter would be helpful.
>>
>>Thanks,
