[Sca-cooks] My upcoming feast...

[David Friedman]

I used lavash, as the thin bread that seemed 
closest to what the recipe called for. Worked 
pretty well. The one problem I had was that 
drenching with rose water resulted in a stronger 
flavor than most people liked.

Of course, I don't know how strong al-Warraq's rose water would have been.
