I don't like water crackers very much.

Pistachio naan is unbelievably good.

I don't believe it.

I worked at a Middle Eastern restaurant for about a month (before I decided that waiting tables is mot my thing), and they would make pita bread by rolling up balls of dough and mashing them against the inside wall of a round clay oven, and cooking them until they bubbled, then peeling then off with this iron hook thing. It was the best damn bread product I've ever had. Pick up a big piece of feta in that? Oh, man.

Hey what about that Ethiopian spongy stuff? It's the plate and you can EAT IT TOO.

― andy --, Friday, 1 April 2005 20:23 (twenty years ago)

That and beans are the only food I don't like.

Even MATZOH? You're crazy, man.

It's called injera, and it is TEH AWESOME.

matzoh is for balls, imo.

― sunburned and snowblind (kenan), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:26 (twenty years ago)

God likes Matzo, though.

― andy --, Friday, 1 April 2005 20:27 (twenty years ago)

matzoh is fucking great, dude. gefilte fish and horseradish, too.

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Whatevs. I don't like any of those things (macaroons, matzoh balls, charoset, and hamantaschen are a different story though).

I went to a Nicaraguan seafood place last saturday and they had really thick corn tortillas.. I'd never had them before and got stuffed off them... really kick ass.

― andy --, Friday, 1 April 2005 20:36 (twenty years ago)

Tonight I am making chicken tikka masala, and with it will have this frozen naan I bought. I'm kinda scared, but how bad can it be?

The Ethiopian bread always tasted a little too strange for me. I've only had it in one place though, the one in wrigleyville.

― Jeff-PTTL (Jeff), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:42 (twenty years ago)

Only non-Jews like matzah. And my father. You can all have it.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:44 (twenty years ago)

bullshit! my jewish ex-girlfriend made it for me!

― hstencil (hstencil), Friday, 1 April 2005 20:45 (twenty years ago)

Arepas! Like thickish tortillas, oft stuffed with Salvadoran kimchi.

She made matzah from scratch? That might be decent, I've only ever had the cardboard Manischewitz variety.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 1 April 2005 21:16 (twenty years ago)

That picture looks delicious btw.

― Jordan (Jordan), Friday, 1 April 2005 21:17 (twenty years ago)

for some reason, my korean parents always had manischewitz matzah crackers stocked in the pantry when i was little, so my afterschool snack was that with some butter.

Give me that lacy, filligree-delicate Malaysian roti made with coconut milk, baby. Love it, torn into chunks and dipped into curry sauce.

Or garlic naan mmm now I am hungry.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 1 April 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

naan > pita > tortilla > I don't know what the other things are. lavosh is way down there though, too dry.

― kyle (akmonday), Saturday, 2 April 2005 00:32 (twenty years ago)

injera is great too! adam doesn't like it because he's english
