Tahini traditional greek food?????

I deleted the following paragraph:

"In Greece and in Cyprus, Tahini is served with pitta (or traditional Cypriot bread in Cyprus) as an appetizer in tavernas, usually accompanied by Greek village salad, olives and tzatziki, or taramosalata in fish tavernas. Tahini is often used with lemon as a dressing for village salads, and is also used to dress souvlaki in pitta."

I don't know who wrote this nonsense.Tahini is presented like is traditional greek food, instead it was totally unknown until a few years ago when they started selling it to the some food stores, and this only because the vast number of recent muslim emmigrants consume it.I learnt myself tahini in the ...UK.

Δεν ξέρω ποιος έγραψε αυτές τις βλακείες.Το ταχίνι παρουσιάζεται σαν παραδοσιακό ελληνικό φαγητό,αντιθέτως ήταν εντελώς άγνωστο μέχρι πριν από λίγα χρόνια όταν άρχισαν να το πωλούν σε καταστήματα κι αυτό μόνο και μόνο επειδή ο μεγάλος αριθμός των προσφάτως αφιχθέντων μουσουλμάνων μεταναστών το καταναλώνει.Εγώ έμαθα το ταχίνι στο ....Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο.

Can anyone tell me where in London I can buy Tahini? I can never find it in my local grocery stores. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.206.146.106 (talk • contribs)

The specialist or health food section in Tescos usually has this sort of stuff. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.20.246 (talk • contribs)

Shelf life? Peanut butter lasts awhile in the closet, what about this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.227.3.15 (talk • contribs)

Many brands have an expiration date (usually 18-24 months after production) but its not generally a hard date. Keep it in the fridge so it doesn't seperate as quickly and keep the lid on tight and it'll keep more or less indefinately. Its not a dangerous thing though, the oil content will start to foul a bit and give it a bad taste long before its hazardous to eat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.36.251 (talk • contribs)

Tahina redirects to this article (Tahini)

I've done some checking, and Tahina does not appear to be the same thing as Tahini. Tahina starts with Tahini, and then adds lemon juice and other spices to it. The two are not interchangable. I don't believe that Tahina should redirect to this article, because it gives the mistaken impression that the two are the same. Which, while similar, are completely different when used in cooking. --Jmccorm 21:38, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. They're the same thing. There might be some recipe also called tahina (though I don't know one), but tahini = tahin = tahine = tahina. Njál (talk) 17:33, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
