Yumm, Halal Salami.


Meg needed some sumac, and we don't carry it at work. The internet told us to check out Shine's Market in North Dallas. It's a nice little market run by Argentinian Turks. They have all kinds of great spices, jarred foodstuffs, things in packages that I couldn't identify, and hree large coolers full of imported meat and cheese (yuk.), much of which was Halal certified (just in case you're of the Islamic persuasion). They also have a very nice cafe area with all kinds of Middle Eastern prepared foods. I had some veggie dolmas, and they were excellent. They were unlike any grapeleaf rolls I've ever had. They had rice, currants, pinenuts and spices. They were slightly sweet instead of being sour like I'm used to. I really liked them. They also have the BEST homemade pita chips I've ever tasted. If you like the arabic fare, (and especially if you're not vegan) they have some super tasty looking food to eat there. Shine's Mediterranean Market carries my highest endorsement.
