In Damascus, traditional dishes, like this one, prepared in the home, are
rarely revealed to outsiders. From ancient times, when new products were
introduced - in this case, the potato - the Damascenes have taken them as
their own. If you like garlic, this dish is highly addictive. It is a
relative of French aioli, but simpler to prepare. Thoom goes well with all
types of foods and makes a scrumptious dip, especially with Arabic bread
(pita).
