I posted to the CH mailing list the recipe for green Z'chug which is what you refer to as "harif". Harif simply means hot in hebrew. We call it harif at falafel shops because it is not fit to be called Z'chug - its typically diluted in water. The recipe I posted is for a good gree Z'chug. If you liked better the red staff, I will look for a good authentic recipe. Its more complicated because it involves tomatoes, other vegetables, and varies very widely. It is also being confused with the north african hot staff such as Arisa (ah-ree-saa) and Matbukha (maa-tboo-khaa). -----Original Message----- From: ralph feldman <ralph@theoryg.chem.pitt.edu> To: Dan Bar Dov <dbardov@amil.co.il> Cc: Chilli Heads <chile-heads@globalgarden.com> Date: Tuesday, May 19, 1998 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [CH] Cheese >Dan Bar Dov wrote: >> >> Well, in addition to being a CH, I'm also a CL (cheese lover :) >> Does anyone know of a cheese mailing list ? >> >> Also, I just received a nice collection of Spanish cheeses.
