    I also have the suspicion that there must be some overlap between the cuisine of Middle East (and possibly Central Asia) and that of South Caucasus, namely Georgia with their love for spices and hot foods. Which would then mean the existence of a dish in the spirit of shawarma, but hot and spicy. Haven’t encountered such a thing yet, but I’m guessing Armenian cuisine is the place to look, since they definitely use lavash flatbread for something.

    Not entirely same, of course, but shawarma and burrito are imo similar templates that can be used with various fillings. You can have shawarma with beef or chicken, etc. You have some cheap local vegetables: where I am, it’s typical to see tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, maybe peppers, cabbage, or carrots. Of course, rice, guacamole and salsa are unlikely in a shawarma, but mayonnaise and sour cream can be used, the latter of which is afaiu encountered in burritos. And for myself, I’ve been making a fusion dish of shawarma with rice, chicken, and various local vegetables.

    Likewise, foods using pita or leavened lavash, e.g. gyros, can be seen as templates similar to tacos.

    Personally I’m surprised that lentils aren’t used more often in shawarma and similar foods, given Middle-Eastern liking for fava beans and chickpeas — although reportedly falafel can be found in shawarma in some regions. Then again, I’m pretty sure I’ve used sautéed peas or beans when making my mishmash burwarma.

    Apparently the al pastor method of meat preparation is directly derived from doner kebab, having been brought to Mexico by Lebanese immigrants — although it uses pork instead of lamb or beef, since Christians didn’t have restrictions about it.






  • keep in mind that linux started and still is a server os primarily. DEs started out for the developers to have the ability to have some GUI on the side as well

    Absolute nonsense. Unix GUIs and workstations predate Linux. The X Window System was first released in 1984, the Motif widget toolkit in 1989, and both were alternatives to existing proprietary GUIs. The workstation landscape was a Wild West before Windows prevailed.

    I’m saying that the word list is probably specified by the instance admins in the settings of the instance server, and isn’t accessible to users. Lemmy.ml is known to be rather opinionated. However, I’m not familiar with the settings of a Lemmy server firsthand, so can’t say for sure.
