Tabbouleh everywhere!

[kjs1976]

Or maybe it just seems like it.....

I was just reading the new menu for Sunshine Terrace and was surprised by the variety of different foods. I noticed that Tabbouleh, which I've eaten once before, but still not 100% sure what it is, is offered with a lot fo the meals. We also noticed this at the ABC Commissary at MGM. Just wondering if anyone could give me a clue as to why the Tabbouleh is a big hit all of the sudden or why it's being offered more. Are they trying to diversify their menus? I know I like to try new stuff, but DH doesn't. I guess many people (ok, Americans) like to go the grilled chees, hamburger, fries, chicken finger route with their food and was wondering if they'll do less business because of it!

No more Tabbouleh for me...once was enough!

I think Disney is trying to add some healthier choices. I like tabbouleh, though Disney's version isn't the best I've tasted.

Uh, sorry, my fault.....

I was the one who kept complaining to WDW about lack of veggie choices.... blame it all on me!

Tabbouleh, to answer your question, is a grain salad composed of (this is my recipe btw, mileage, as they say, may vary) Bulger Wheat (just cracked wheat that is not refined although it is milled, Parsley, Tomatoes, sometimes cucumber, lemon, olive oil and garlic. It is a veggie choice and very delicious. It is Middle Eastern in origan, probably Persian origanally but don't quote me on it since that is a guess based on my general food knowlege. Some versions read like a parsley salad, which I do not like as much. I prefer the bulger to be dominate but that is mostly me.

Try substituting some fresh mint for most of the parsley...yummy!

 

[kjs1976]

and it's pronounced taboo-lee, correct?

 

[Forever42]

Yep, that's how it's pronounced.

I like a good tabbouleh, but I can't stand Disney's

I agree - Disney has waaaaaaaaaay too much parsley..... too bad, because it puts people off.

It is also served at the Moroccan fast food eatery at EPCOT.
