I love using tahini. I make a potato salad and replace the mayonnaise with tahini. It is great eaten as a sauce for fish and of course with hummus and baba ghanoush! Yummy lens!

Well, I have to say, this was an interesting lens. Most of it is in the video form which I didn't think was what lenses were about. Ik thought it would have been interesting in narrative form.
In my Greek/Armenian culture tahini is a staple. Hummus is the product of the tahini and the chick peas, and it's no big deal if one doesn't add tahini to the hummus. I should write my own lens!

Egyptians add equal parts of vinegar and lemon juice to their version of tahini. I like both the Greek and Egyptian versions very much. Great lens!
