Coated In Sesame Seeds

J Collicott McGuigan@redheadpei (72)2414d

I’ve eaten bread sticks but don’t ever remember eating sesame sticks. They sound much more appetizing than plain old white bread buns that are served with meals in restaurants.

I’m not familiar with seeing sesame sticks being served at restaurants here on the Island. Maybe a high-end one would have them but I haven’t been hobnobbing there. Besides the seeds would lodge between my teeth.

Sesame seeds have good nutritional values but store bought sticks may have a high content of salt. Salt makes food taste good but like sugar, a little goes a long way and too much can cause health problems.

Sesame oil is often used in Chinese food and I have some in the cupboard. I think the best-to-date has long expired. I love Chinese food but when I made it I always forget about the small bottle of sesame oil I bought because a friend said it is an important ingredient in Chinese food.

I seem to have a lot of reasons not to buy or eat sesame sticks but I would like one now to dip into my hot chocolate drink.

I like Chinese food, and understand sesame oil is an important ingredient. Although I have eaten sesame sticks, I don't consider them a part of my diet and don't buy them.

Sesame sticks are like nosh food, just little cracker type things, can't remember the name of any of the more popular types of these foods. Addictive like the others too. Now you know.

Howdy redheadpei! I like sesame sticks but don't have them often, it's been a couple of years but you did a great freewrite on them!
@zeleiracordero(69)· 2413d
Greetings, @redheadpei. What a nice chat between friends you have here. I love it too the toasted sesame seeds and the sweetened sticks are a delight.

Popcorn is possibly the worst food in the world for lodging between teeth. Seriously, movie theatres ought to provide dental floss with their buckets of popcorn.
@papilloncharity(83)· 2414d
No idea about sesame seed Lady Jo, but I presume that they are those little brown seeds that they stick onto the buns. Blessings!
@birdsinparadise(68)· 2414d
hehehe, sesame seed delima...in the teeth or the tummy :) Great free write @redheaddpei!

In my case, I have eaten sesame in many ways and in almost anything. In my country it is called ajonjolí; We consume it in two different ways too: In a blender, you put sesame, water, and any sweetener. It has a refreshing and nutritious drink called Horchata and acquires a spectacular flavor if you add milk.

I have some sesame oil in my cabinet as well but never thought to look for an expiration date, which I'm sure is past.
@ireenchew(73)· 2414d
Sesame oil is somehow a must in every Chinese home; even if we don't use it. But the smell of cooking with sesame oil makes the dish more fragrant.

Hmm, I'm not sure that dipping the revolting things in hot chocolate would improve the taste at all.

Sesame sticks are sold in our local stores, a little expensive but would imagine should not be difficult to bake your own, they are tasty, keep a toothpick close to hand it helps....

It's been a while I didn't get the chance to have such snacks. It's a very popular snack in Bangladesh. Great to hear your experience!

I lov sesame seeds. Delicious and healthy
@jayna(75)· 2414d
I love it, @redheadpei. All the news that fit to print about sesame! Sesame is one of those words for me that can lose meaning if I say it over and over. I’m not sure why. I also have sesame oil in my cupboard but I actually run out of it once or twice a year, because I do love to cook with it. If you have some leftover rice it’s really easy to make fried rice with some sesame oil, garlic and ginger, some vegetables (I’ve used peas, carrots, green onions and cabbage in any combination), plus some soy sauce and a scrambled egg.

Lohhhhhh i love the sesame sticks when we eat soup and the kids love them and eat their soup without me telling them to win-win hahahah
@free-reign(67)· 2414d
I love the flavor of sesame seeds, but I wouldn't want to eat them alone, without being on something like bread crust or a roll. TBH, I've never seen sesame sticks either. I, like you, have a bottle of sesame oil that's way over the expired date. :)

I do like the flavor of sesame! Even if the seeds do get stuck between my teeth!
