there are many variables of what you are talking about. not sure if its a traditional arabic dish or something they have come to make over the years though. sounds nice regardless.
Ha, that's what I figured. It was a very local, hole in the wall place. No English spoken. I was hungry and just wandered in and politely asked what it was everyone was eating. They huddled together and conferred for a little bit. Then one of them turned to me and struggled to say, "Palestinian Pizza". I said "Shukran habibi" to their delight and ordered a bunch to eat. Nonetheless, it was delicious, hot, fresh, steamy. I am rather fond of Middle Eastern cuisine so I take to these types of dishes very quickly.

Crap, now I'm hungry. Luckily I have some olives and kefir I can munch on with some toast. Oh, I have some dolmeh too. Maybe I'll put on my gelabaya too while I'm at it.
