Hey @alomshaha.bsky.social thought this may interest you:
I invented a new sandwich that I wanted to share with you.
It’s tofu which I roll in Shawarma powder, then corn starch, then fry in olive oil, on bread with toum as a condiment and little cucumber slices. Very very great sandwich. Had it two days in a row.
