I had it before in Detroit at one of those ethnic festivals they have in the
summer and it was pretty good. We tried to make it and well, it did not
quite come out as good but it wasn't bad for a first try. But now it has
been several years since we have had it. It is popular in a lot of Middle
Eastern cooking.
