Dear MM,
Thanks for posting this. I love taboulleh or parsley salad. We had in during one gathering and I thought it was “tabuli” I even thought it was “tambuli” hehehe. thanks for posting the correct spelling. We enjoyed it ala taco placed in romaine lettuce leaves without utensils. It was really good! where do you get the bulgar wheat aside from Helathy Options?

Just to add to your options… Tahini’s also available at ASSAD, an Indian Grocery on U.N. Avenue right across Unilever.

audball, I think being able to stick to a vegetarian menu is amazing. I can’t do it all the time but I do like vegetables. I think a vegetarian restaurant would have difficulty as some guests can’t hack it… I think a restaurant with heavy vegetarian selection and a meat choice would have a better chance…

Baba Ganoush, Taboulleh, Tzatziki. I don’t know what I like more, pronouncing them or eating them. :)

that was a lovely menu, marketman. hope you don’t mind my asking, but what do you think of vegetarianism? would a vegetarian resto survive in manila? thanks.

Candygirl, they sell tahini at Santis delicatessen in small tubs… They must sell it elsewhere as well… It looks like a thick sludge or thin paste.

Happy Easter, Marketman and family! This mezze spread sounds just delicious, and healthy to boot. Perfect for Holy Week, actually, since you don’t feel at all deprived even if there’s no meat. I’ve just returned from a very indulgent Easter holiday, sacrilegious as that may sound. For 5 days, we ate so excessively and relaxed so thoroughly, complete with daily home visits from the masseuse, that Felipe says we were treated like Kobe beef!

Hi MM! Happy Easter to you and your family! This is quite a feast, my kind of feast! I am vegetarian and I love Mediterranean food. I love everything your friend prepared, not only it is fresh but prepared with love :-) In fact, all these items are staples of my apetizer spread whenever we have company. I also love stuffed grape leaves or dolmades, minus the meat of course, and feta cheese on top of salads. I definitely would have been a good help to polish off that wonderful array of food, yum! Have a good day!
