this restaurant occupies a prime location just off trafalgar square across from canada house . walk - in visit on the 3rd of june 2018 . this the worst thai restaurant that i and wife have visited worldwide . food and service were appalling and the staff were lacking in . . .
trafalgar square is home to art galleries , museums , historic buildings and of course the mermaid fountain . it makes perfect sense to visit restaurants near trafalgar square for a spot of lunch or dinner and recharge your energy . so why not visit one of the best restaurants in london , regularly frequented by politicians , stars , locals and tourists alike .
came in for dinner and the pad thai was amazing - such good flavours . the cocktails are also quite good too
a group of us dined here and it was the best meal i ' ve had at any thai square restaurant . made a telephone reservation as it was friday night . was very busy when we showed up but service was good . there were four of us . the guys went . . .
blaxland thai restaurant started in 1997 as a family business in the town of blue mountains . later in july 2006 , the first thai square restaurant was founded in redfern . and in january 2007 the 2nd restaurant opened in hazelbrook , back in the home region of the blue mountains . it was then expanded throughout the blue mountains from katoomba through to blaxland as well as western sydney in the suburb of mulgoa and erskine park .
this is a solid thai place ! the food is authentic and the prices are fair . to note , their thai iced tea is $ 2 . 95 and their floating market noodle soup is $ 10 . 95 with your choice of either thin , vermicelli or my personal fave , thick noodles . they recently updated their decor to accommodate more patrons and reflect thai culture .

this is one of the few authentic thai restaurant . in the neighborhood . portions are good size and can be share between 3 - 4 people . my favorite dishes are the crispy duck , beef pad see yeuw and garlic tofu . dont forget to get the thai ice tea . parking can be challenging : (

our trafalgar square branch is located right in the heart of central london , a stone’s throw away from the historic nelson’s column and the four lions statues . this iconic location is perfect for our flagship branch which has hosted numerous high profile events and won many awards .
superb thai food in an unpretentious atmosphere . your not going to find millennials ubering for the trendy atmosphere - another great reason to go . the whole fish and laarb alone are worth the trip .
for the last 20 plus years , this has been our go to legit thai place . even having moved away , we will drive the distance when craving thai . sad to hear it changed owners last november ( but happy for the owner who retired ) , yet we still ventured out . although the waitresses assured me the kitchen staff and recipes
stayed the same
, you can taste that hint of
je ne sais quoi
that is missing . the meal was still good , just not the thai square i ' ve been accustomed to all these years . however , the crispy basil squid is still a must order . the floating market noodle soup i used to always order was on the bland side today and the crab meat fried rice , although good , was missing the char from the wok that made it what we love . the steak salad was flavorful and a healthy portion .
first time visit after a huge renovation . love the decor of the restaurant made me feel like i were at hometown again . love in the fact that they have thai menu for thai people to chose from . we had ordered a couple of dishes that was difficult to find at any other places . all dishes were tasty and delicious . service was incredible , warm welcome and very attentive staffs . will definitely recommend and come back to try something else .
the food taste are really not my favorite and the service is rude . i did not feel comfortable in this place . my favorite one in this area is thai curry , the taste is the best and they have friendly staffs as well .
the search for the perfect thai place in nova continues but this is pretty solid option close to home . i ' ve been here a handful of times and have ordered the pad see ew with tofu . i ' ve had some inconsistencies with the noodles . some days are fluffier while others are flatter and more broken . arlington is really deprived of a 5 star thai spot but this one does the trick when it is on point . i ' ll definitely be back but expect some inconsistencies .
updated review . my last visit was awesome and i can ' t wait to try more of the menu . we ordered : pad thai chicken yum pla dook foo honey crispy basil duck the pad thai was standard , not amazing or anything but a good sized portion . would get again but will try the other noodle dishes first . the crispy catfish salad was amazing . i want an entire one for myself . fresh , light , very crispy catfish adds just a hint of funk . the salad is composed of iceberg and traditional papaya / mango salad ingredients . crispy duck is so good . fried perfectly , great crispy basil , touch of sweetness from the honey . served with rice . takeout is quick and easy . parking is difficult .
you can expect the highest standard of both food and service from our flagship venue , experience for yourself first hand why we are a multiple award winning thai restaurant group . our chefs are constantly adding innovative and authentic mouth - watering dishes to our vast menu selections . we also offer two and three course sumptuous pre - theatre set menus for you to start your theatre night out . remember to check them out in our special offer section . it is guaranteed one of the best london restaurants deals .
came here for to celebrate my mom ' s birthday so we ordered dishes to share between a party of 5 . out of everything here , the most memorable dish was the fried squid . it was so good ! i ' m usually not a fan of squid but the way they prepared it here made it so addictive . it ' s battered , deep fried , and then tossed in a sweet and salty sauce . i kept eating it like candy . this is the only thai restaurant i ' ve been to with this dish so i will definitely be back for it . the pad thai was good , but a tad too sweet for me . if it was a tad more sour , i think it would be great ! the crispy flounder was amazingly cooked . you know it ' s cooked right when the outer fins and bones are super crispy and edible . we asked for the sauce on the side so that it doesn ' t make the fish soggy . overall , we had a great time here . service was good . restaurant is a bit tight and gets crowded fast so i suggest to call and reserve for dinner !
this was the last of the three thai places that are less than a mile from my bfs . we had to try all three so we know where the best place to go would be . this one is a little smaller than bangkok but bigger than thai curry . theres only street parking so be careful . theres signs everywhere in the restaurant that says youll be towed in you park in the boston market shopping center and upon arrival they ask you where ' d you park to make sure you dont get towed . how nice of them . the decor is minimal here but the place is clean and staff is friendly . i ' m glad we got seated near the window because i loved the natural sunlight . we ordered the crispy spring rolls , pad see ew , and chicken red curry . they spring rolls were plump and very crispy hence the name . be careful though because they come up piping hot . the pad see ew wasn ' t as sweet as other places but i enjoyed the charred taste to the noodles . the red curry was great too . it had the right amount of heat and i enjoyed the bamboo shoots in it . * crispy spring rolls * pad see ew * red curry
stop by on easter , very busy but luckily we got a table with no reservation . this time we tried something different , keaw jub , moo yang , kai yang , pla dook foo , som tum ( both thai and poo krapi ) , flounder with seafood and tamarine sauce . food was quick and delicious . kids enjoyed the sticky rice with moo yang and kai yang . whole flounder was very crispy ( no oily ) served with steam rice and sauce on the side . staffs were very nice to check on us at all time . we really enjoyed the food and had a great time today .
the food here is awesome . please note : read signs very carefully before parking ! if you park in the wrong spot , your car will get towed . within minutes your car will be gone . it ' s $ 160 to get your car back , ask me how i know that . with the towing experience aside , our lunch here was great . our server was friendly , attentive , and quick . there were only 2 servers during the time we visited , and they really held down fort . both worked so well together and super attentive . the dinning space is on the smaller side . if you want to roll in here with a larger group of people , i highly recommend making reservations . our food came out in a timely manner and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish . i can ' t say we liked one dish more than the other . they were all hits , seasoned well , good portions , and made with quality ingredients . only thing i should have asked for is less ice in my thai iced tea . the drink was mostly ice ! i ' ve worked as a server at a thai restaurant before and our boss always told us to fill the cups with mostly ice , i really hated that . other than that minor thing , our meal was amazing . our server was so sweet and compassionate . she heard us calling for a cab and the towing company . she gave us a free dessert , what a sweetheart and i am so grateful ! overall , the food here is memorable and we will be back . this time we will make sure we read the signs around us a billion times before leaving our car : p

we were recommended this restaurant by friends so it must be great in occasion , but we were really disappointed in our visit . we ordered the mixed platter for starters which was ok . the chicken satay was nice but the prawn n chicken toast , prawn dumpling . . .
we called in for dinner in hope of a quick meal before the theatre . the staff were very obliging and the food was quick and very tasty . we wish we had more time to sit back and really enjoy it more . very happy ! !
nice settings , good full bar . they offer a la carte menu as well as lunch boxes what gives you an opportunity to try some variety at reasonable price and quantity . very busy at regular lunch hours .
had attended an event nearby and popped in around 9pm for a late meal . friendly and helpful staff . limited wine choices , full bar available however . good range of food choices . we usually just order steamed rice , but recommended by friends to try the coconut rice , . . .
i just read some of the other reviews , and like many other customers , we found the service totally dismal ! we arrived very early after an afternoon play to an almost empty restaurant . as we entered we saw the waitresses on the second floor talking amongst . . .
we came in fairly late and rushed - having been undecided on where to eat , spotting this place and upon entering being quite entranced with the decor from entry hall to restaurant . service and waiting time were both bad , but little did we care as . . .
service was slow and unfriendly . plate given to us hot but by time food came out they were cold . kept having to ask for our water to be refilled . food was okay , crispy duck was £16 but the duck had been blended in a food . . .

tasteless sukiyaki ( seafood in a soup ) . fishy crispy powdery catfish appetizer ( just crispy powders can ' t find where the fish was ) . pleasant nicely decorated simple neighborhood eatery . ok service ( if rude at one point :
you don ' t like the sauce ?
- - should be
did you try the sauce ?
or something more positive ) . stay away from sukiyaki ( the soup version ) . terrible . tasteless . just some seafood ( bland seafood ) in boiled water . soup had no taste . green curry was just ok . not good but not bad . nice design of tea pot ( combined with tea cup underneath ) . beautiful and smart .
this place has taken a fall and is not worth the price , drive or difficult parking . the larb was bland . the whole rockfish was dry and very small . the crispy duck had very little meat . bottom line - cutback on food portions at a high price . service was decent . the manager was very rude . better options on block away - rincone and bangkok 54 .
good food at a decent price . place is small but cozy . curry duck , crab fried rice and calamari were top notch
crispy duck basil - full of flavors , crispy and juicy . floating market noodles - very authentic and very flavorful . papaya salad - very spicy but very delicious . love this place

not quite sure why this place is getting so many rave reviews , nothing i had from here was spectacular . tried the crispy basil squid - it was good , but not for the price , and really just tasted a little bland . could ' ve used some sweet chili sauce or some heat . green curry flavor was on point , the portion was pretty small though . not much chicken in it , and chicken felt a little overcooked . pad kee mao ( drunken noodles ) were underwhelming , not much flavor , just spice . also not a huge fan when all the noodles stick together so much . the beef with it was chewy and dry . if i ' m on columbia pike i ' ll go to b54

damania airways was an indian airline headquartered in mumbai , that operated from 1993 to 1997 .

it was promoted by the damania brothers , parvez and vispi .

damania airways

parvez damania , of the erstwhile damania airways fame , is finalising plans to set up a pilot training institute in maharashtra .
nepc airlines , one of india ' s fastest - growing private carriers , has bought rival damania airways for some $ 33 . 3 million .
damania capital markets ltd . stock price , share price , live bse / nse , damania capital markets ltd . bids offers . buy / sell damania capital markets ltd . news & tips , & f & o ; quotes
damania last month visited grounded southern regional carrier air pegasus which has . . .
the government had way back in early 1990s suspended the flying licence of damania airways for about 10 days after two passengers got into a brawl ( one of them got inebriated ) after being served liquor on a mumbaigoa flight .
damania claimed that air pegasus did not have a business proposal that he found feasible to invest in .
nepc is the fourth major private airline in the country to suspend operations since the union government announced an open skies policy in 1992 . east west airlines and modiluft suspended their operations after facing huge operational losses . the ailing damania airways was sold off to the nepc group . the khemkas took over control of damania in which it picked up less than five per cent equity stake and later made a public offering to pick up 25 per cent equity from the public .
jet airways is also planning to lease a further six aircraft to add to its seven 737 - 200s and three f27s . the airline is likely to opt for the 737 - 400 , say local sources .
the government had handed out the first few licenses to private operators , as
air taxis
. a dynamic civil aviation minister , madhavrao scindia , opened the sector to competition by modifying the air corporations act , 1953 . damania airways , which debuted in 1992 , ushered in a legion of pretty young things in short skirts and courteous service . the seats began filling up soon .
damania capital is in the finance - investments sector . it is listed on the bse with a bse code of 511678 and the nse with an nse code of damaniacm .
damania , which operates on main routes in western india , is believed to have fallen behind recently with lease payments to portuguese - based plm leasing , from which it leases two of its four boeing 737 - 200s . damania has not acquired additional aircraft , despite the government giving the go - ahead recently to purchase a boeing 737 - 400 .
heir legacy as the pioneers of the aviation boom version 1 however endures in today ' s private airlines like jet airways and kingfisher who along with spicejet , paramount , indigo and go air command over 80 per cent of the civil aviation sector and fly 39 lakh passengers every month .
in came the private players who dominated the skies as the aviation sector opened up in the nineties . brands such as damania and modiluft redefined the joy of flying altogether . the best standards were picked from across the globe and offered to the indian traveller . damania even went a step further and brought liquor into the india flying experience . i do remember early 6 a . m . breakfast flights having people demanding and getting their shots of breakfast whisky .
eventually , damania ' s smartest move was in reading which way the wind sock was blowing . he sold the airline brand and its five 737 - 200 aircraft to nepc ' s ravi prakash khemka in 1995 , less than three years after his maiden flight when
the numbers didn ' t add up
. the buy - out was doomed and both nepc and damania passed into the crypt of the first wave of aviation entrepreneurs inscribed with brands like east west and modiluft . t
it is unclear whether damania will remain a separate company , or be merged with nepc , which operates five fokker f27s on feeder routes in southern india . merger seems more likely since , under indian civil - aviation guidelines , private airline or air taxi licences are not transferable .
in the year the government threw open the doors of india ' s moribund public sector economy , one enterprising poultry farmer from karjat had a bright idea . wouldn ' t it be great to launch an airline that offered great service and actually cared for its customers , parvez damania , then 32 , thought . in the days of whimsical flight schedules , when matronly indian airlines air hostesses and terrible food epitomised the stifling government control over the civil aviation sector , good service , a given today , was practically unthinkable .

nepc airlines and its subsidiary , skyline nepc , have been grounded . the international air travel association ( iata ) has suspended them for non - payment of dues following which they have been taken off the computerised reservation system ( crs ) .
the cash - starved , chennai - based airlines owed money to indian oil corporation ( ioc ) , which impounded their aircraft for non - payment of dues .
last month , the pilots of both the airlines went on a strike following suspension of some of the aircraft commanders . this had led to further losses for the airlines . the airlines fleet consists of nine fokker planes and five boeing 737 - 200s .
nepc , however , refused to confirm the grounding of its fleet . ravi prakash khemka , chairman of the food - to - wind power conglomerate , was not available for comment .
the airlines generated rs 350 crore revenues in the previous fiscal and was expected to achieve a turnover of rs 400 crore by the end of march 1998 . r p khemka had claimed last year that he had pumped in around rs 110 crore in his airlines business which included acquisition and leasing of new aircraft .
the group created a major stir last year when it made an open public offer to pick up 48 per cent equity ( about 3 crore shares ) in modiluft in a hostile takeover bid for the airline . the group offered to pick up shares at rs 29 per share which would have cost it around rs 87 crore . however , the bid turned out to be unsuccessful as it did not conform to sebi regulations .
at one time , the group was also planning to acquire up air a joint sector airline , which flies on feeder routes in uttar pradesh and gujarat air , a company promoted by the suchantis who also control pressman advertising . both gujarat air and up air own two fokker aircraft each .
the group was also negotiating with air india for leasing out some of its aircraft in the domestic sector to carry passengers from various cities in the country to international airports .

by 1992 , they were carrying over two lakh passengers even though they accounted for just 2 per cent of traffic . but the dark clouds were fast filling up and scindia ' s resignation was only the first of their woes . capital was hard to raise and trained manpower difficult to recruit . making money was not as easy as the players had thought . they were further hobbled by harsh government rules on not advertising their flight schedules or hiring pilots from state - owned carriers .
here is something that rajiv gandhi forgot to do as prime minister . he talked about taking india into the 21st century , but forgot all about the present one and the opposition it may have in the future . p . v . narasimha rao , and his finance minister , manmohan singh , got it just right . on the one hand , they sang praises about nehruvian socialism . on the other , they took the country by the scruff of the neck and said move , or we all die . the fact that they drew practically no flak is an indication of how well the duo played the game . the industrial policy proposals were explosive . for one , they heralded the end of the licence raj . barely had parliament recovered from the industrial policy on july 24 , when it was presented with a budget that showed deft political footwork .

what ' s wrong with the airline industry today in india ? once upon a time we had the best happening here . now , it is a complete breakdown of service standards .
nalini , i share your pain . i am a fellow traveller with you in this pain and i have seen it unfold , pain point by pain point .
india and its airline players have been through the ups and downs . air india , the international player of old , was considered one of the best in the really old days . apparently in the days you and i had yet to take to air travel . and today , we do see a significant difference .
and then there was a rejig . the current dominant players that include jet in its many avatars , kingfisher and spicejet and indigo and more are the ones that have attempted all the changes . changes that have redefined flying experience . some good , some bad .
the key point is one of profitability . as every airline vies with one another to get those profit margins , there is indeed a cut in service and service standards . many things have vanished . the candy on a tray , the cotton wool for all to take home in cute little packets , pens and headphones and even more .
while that is all fine , there seems to be no free lunch on an airline as well today . many players in the low - cost space have done away with it altogether with obscenely priced in - flight menus that keep many a passenger hungry till landing . an empty stomach is really not a great start to building a positive brand .
even if one can bear this , in total and true understanding of the cost - saving mindset that is necessary to run a good business , what is inexcusable is the quality of service offered by the ground staff . while the in - flight staff is still a well - trained and polite lot , the ground staff seem to be losing touch with the customer . a ruffled customer on the ground is not happy customer in the air for sure , never mind how good the in - flight experience is .
even if one is to bear the on - ground experience as one that is all about cost savings again , what is crucial is the situation on flight delays and how it is handled . as low - cost flights delay and cancel flights at will , the “operational reasons” excuse is just not taken well by the passenger at large . and this is causing one more pain point that needs managing .
nalini , there sure is a lot of pain . blame it on better cost management practices . blame it on the airline wanting to make better money as well . better money to keep the airline flying to take care of your future flying needs . the airline is a service , but the airline is a business as well . managing both these dimensions without trampling on the service requirements and standards of the passenger is the challenge at hand . sadly , few are managing this well .
comparisons are odious , but the indian traveller is still getting better service and better everything at large than the guy in the uk and the us and most certainly in europe , for sure . but i agree , nalini , we must aspire to the best . at this point of time , this is a matter of worry and the airlines just don ' t seem to be bothered to listen .
in my company , there is a lot of emphasis on networking . i force myself to network , but don ' t really enjoy this . is there a solution ? and what is this networking all about ?
rohit , i really hope you don ' t get into trouble with your company for asking this question . but it is a good one . a real one .
networking is what networking does . and networking is what networking becomes . a disease at times . a disease that robs us of our sincerity . a disease that robs us of who we really are , and something that at times makes us what we really don ' t want to be . insincere beings .
the guy smiling at you in the post office queue is not a sincere human being . he is an amway salesperson out on the prowl . ouch !
the guy who gives you his card and gets back to you even before you have reached your hotel with a friendly e - mail is really not doing it just out of love for a fellow human being . everything today in the space of networking is highly returns - oriented . the genuine feel and flavour of life is really at threat .
my take is a simple one . i worry as many of us are progressively traipsing the path of the frivolous and the insincere , as against the solid and the real . many of us are really caught in the vortex of the insincere . many of us really find ourselves in what i call the insincerity trap . a trap that makes you as unreal and hollow as society wants you to be .
can we then attempt to throw networking out of the window , at least for a while ? take a networking break ? could we then interact and exchange calling cards only when we really want to ? not by force of habit . not by force of the networking disease that wants us to harvest another soul onto my network .
and let ' s smile when we want to . let ' s recognise people who we really know , come across all the while , never mind their value to our networks . let ' s just get real . at least for a while ? rediscovering ourselves is really networking with ourselves first , before we attempt to network with others .

the first time i tasted halvah was on manhattan’s lower east side after a long night on the town . i wandered into a corner deli offering hundreds of potential dessert options , but i was drawn to a marbled halvah bar for sale at the counter . the turbaned , mustachioed sultan on the package beckoned me toward one last magic carpet ride for the evening . i couldn’t resist .
the first bite was an intoxicating mix of sesame , vanilla and chocolate with an initially crumbly texture that smoothed into a slight chalkiness that wasn’t unappealing . in contrast to the snickers and butterfingers i could have been eating , it wasn’t too sugary . i finished the bar before i made it outside and have been a fan ever since .
derived from the arabic word halwa , which means sweet confection , halvah’s centuries - old origins are widely debated ; nearly every middle eastern culture claims it as its own . some scholars have suggested it originated near byzantium , now istanbul , some time before the 12th century , while others believe it dates back all the way to 3000 b . c . e . evidence exists that it was originally a somewhat gelatinous , grain - based dessert made with oil , flour and sugar .
the first known , written halvah recipe appeared in the early 13th century arabic kitab al - tabikh [ the book of dishes ] , and included seven variations . a cookbook from moorish spain in the same era tells of rolling out a sheet of candy ( made of boiled sugar , honey , sesame oil and flour ) , sprinkling it with rosewater , sugar and ground pistachios , and covering it with a second layer of candy before cutting it into triangles .
ultimately , halvah spread across the middle east , the mediterranean , central asia and the subcontinent . in each new locale , its name and ingredients changed slightly . egyptians called it halawa and mixed in pistachios , almonds or pine nuts , while indians shortened the name to halva and flavored it with regional products such as ghee , coconuts and dates .
one of the sweet’s most prominent enthusiasts was suleiman the magnificent ( 1520 - 1566 ) , the ottoman empire’s longest - reigning sultan , who had a special kitchen built next to his palace that was dubbed the helvahane [ house of halva ] , where some 30 varieties of the confection were produced . one , made with sesame tahini , was adopted by ottoman - ruled romanians who passed it on to ashkenazi jews in europe . it was this version that made the transatlantic journey to america in the early 20th century .
stateside , the ancient candy’s biggest promoter was nathan radutzky , a young jew from kiev , ukraine . in 1907 , the budding entrepreneur produced his first batch of halvah in his garage on the lower east side , which he then sold from his back door and pushcarts around the city . when business took off , he opened a small factory in brooklyn . in 1940 , he moved his company—then called independent halvah & candies—to a larger building in the borough , from which it still operates today . “the eastern europeans who were buying halvah when we started were looking for hearty , long - lasting foods , ” explains richard radutzky , a third - generation family member in the halvah business . his grandfather’s take on the old world classic was a hit in the new world . “halvah became much more popular in america than it ever was in europe , ” says john mariani , author of the encyclopedia of american food & drink .
in the 1950s , rudutzky changed his company’s name to joyva and adopted the smiling sultan as its logo , playing up halvah’s exotic image . at the same time , joyva began enrobing some of its halvah bars in chocolate . “we love to chocolate coat things , ” says gil marks , author of the encyclopedia of jewish food . “that’s a u . s . obsession . ” in another decidedly american twist , joyva also began to sell a king - sized bar . “we always maximize foods , ” adds marks . “look at the cinnamon bun and the bagel ; both are much larger than they’ve ever been in history . ”
“people either love it or hate it , ” admits radutzky ; in the united states , it is still most likely to be found in specialty stores such as jewish , persian and greek markets . halvah can also be found in health food stores : although its high levels of fat and carbohydrates prevent halvah from being considered “healthy , ” its sesame seed base endows it with nutritious minerals , including copper , manganese , tryptophan , calcium and magnesium .
halvah continues to win over new fans and cross boundaries . korean american celebrity chef david chang , for example , has come up with a new method of halvah consumption : his customers can now order crumbled peanut butter halvah as a soft - serve topping at his wildly popular momofuku milk bar in new york . what more could one ask for after a meal—or a night on the town ?
[ … ] is a dessert that is known in many cultures , carrying a unique flavor that some may say is very sweet . stemming from the middle east region , [ … ]
i heard somewhere that halva is the first know . candy . if a recipe was discovered 3000 . bc that could be true .
there is also a irutu kadai halva shop in tamilnadu in india . . city named tirunelveli… . . if u eat halwa there u will never go to ur country… . . ! ! !
there is a recipe in this morning’s nytimes ( 10 / 7 / 15 ) for homemade halvah ! of course it doesn’t have chocolate or nuts , but i think i can figure out that part . it’s on my “to do” list ! look for it on the ny times cooking site on line if you don’t get the actual paper .
i knew about halvah from my classmate’s presentation . her name is nana kawakami , she is from japan . on her presentation , she brought us pieces of ‘halvah’ made from sesame by seed + mill . it was delicious and memorable .
i live in upstate ny and i saw this giant candy bar sitting on a grocery store shelf and ate it before work , chocolate cover . halva , it was the delicious . i am a huge fan . that is the reason i searched for the origins of this great food and found this little story and website . awesome

nce upon a time , far in the east , ali baba stood before a sealed cave & shouted :
open sesame !
. . . & as the sesame fruit opens up to let the seed spill out like gold , so the cave opened up & all the riches of the world were laid out before him .
hese treasures , symbols of the beneficial properties of sesame for man ' s health , were safeguarded in the traditions of all ancient civilizations .
the indians considered sesame to be
the king of seeds
. the assyrian gods would drink sesame wine before heading out to battle . chinese & japanese used it in remedies , hippocrates & galene used it as a medicine & in weddings in ancient greece they offered a mixture of tahini & honey , a kind of halva .
