A favorite dish in many Indian households is halwa, a sweet made from wheat semolina, butter, sugar and spices. In the Avadh region there is a special halwa made with germinated wheat extract, Samnak, which has a sweet smell. Maybe that is what your friend is referring to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-90091127594443345402007-04-06T07:38:00.000-07:002007-04-06T07:38:00.000-07:00uuuh, what susan said :-) I dont do perfumes or es...uuuh, what susan said :-) I dont do perfumes or essences..

Best I can make out (and this is hardly scientific) can go two ways: if it's culinary ittar (generic for essense, like an infusion/extract) then he can probably go to the Indian section of the city in Murray Hill (aka Curry Hill) and poke around the many Indian businesses there. Could be, though, he is Islamic and looking for spiritual ittar. If that's the case, he may still find it in Curry Hill, although more Indians are Hindu rather than Islamic. For the record, the reason why it's edible is that the proper distillation contains no chemicals, not even alcohol. This doesn't necessarily mean all flowers used in ittar are edible. If you need map coordinates for Curry Hill, will be happy to provide. I could send you an email, Trig, w/ more details on the area and ittar. I could expound on this even more, but I'm cluttering up the comment space enough.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12044784.post-37558746628889865762007-04-05T09:10:00.000-07:002007-04-05T09:10:00.000-07:00Whoops, sorry.
