  Sesame paste aka tahini proves 3/4 of those points objectively wrong!

  …I know, I know, “objective” when it comes to tastes is an oxymoron. But seriously, tahini is awesome: flavourful, won’t get stuck in your teeth, and it makes a lot of dishes go from “meh” to “wow”. Still a bit messy, as it’s a paste.

  Bonus points if it’s halawa (dunno the English name), a sweet made with tahini and honey. I seriously love that stuff.

    I think the English word is pretty much ‘halava’. There’s no equivalent word so we just use that.

  No flavor‽ Sure if there’s 6 of them on top of a burger bun you won’t taste it. There’s a Greek restaurant near me that serves bread covered in sesame seeds and it’s a very noticeable flavor improvement. Have you ever had sesame sticks? They’re delicious.
