be finely ground down to powder. In this latter condition, cummin should be kept
in a tight box.
Cummin is retailed, in its raw condition, at 35 to 40 cents per pound.
SHREDDED FLOUR PASTE. (KADAYIF.)
It is made of thin flour paste, which is put in a specially made receptacle in
the bottom of which is arranged ten or twelve small holes on one row. The paste
is caused to run through these holes over a hot iron board placed on a slow
fire. The baking of this shredded flour paste is done in two or three minutes at
the most, when it is gathered and put to a side for use for pastry purposes.
"Shredded Wheat" may be taken as a good substitute for Kadayif.
BALKAN CHEESE. (KHASHER PENIR.)
It is a strong and hard cheese, often used with macaroni or spaghetti and fried
eggs in grated form. It comes in round form 2 to 3 inches thick and 12 to 15
inches in diameter. A product of the Balkan peninsula. Retailed at 45 to 50
cents per pound.
Note.--Parmesan cheese, grated, may conveniently be used for spaghetti or other
purposes, instead of the Balkan cheese.
