Talk:Za'atar

Suggested Better Edit

User:Zero0000, I noticed where you made constructive edits to this article today, and which are generally good. However, since Zaatar is used by all peoples of the region, it is better to reword the sentence to read: "This species is also extremely common in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestine, and is used by peoples of the region to make one local variety of the spice mixture," rather than "...and is used by Palestinians to make one local variety of the spice mixture."Davidbena (talk) 14:10, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Another suggestion is to write "Israel/Palestine" rather than "Israel, and the Palestine." Here, we are are taking about a geographical region which was known by, and is still known by, both names. If we start mentioning two separate political entities, the matter becomes very complicated.Davidbena (talk) 14:14, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

I don't know anything about Zaatar, I just put back older text that matched the sources and removed text that didn't match the sources. Some pov-pusher even edited a direct quotation and it can't be allowed. Find better sources and edit away. Zero^talk 14:18, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

That's fine, so with your permission, I will only insert - for better accuracy - that "This species is also extremely common in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestine, and is used by peoples of the region to make one local variety of the spice mixture." Be well.Davidbena (talk) 14:45, 1 August 2018 (UTC)

Zaatar is an herb blend, not a spice blend

It’s not a blend of spices. It’s a blend of herbs with a spice. Lebanesebebe123 (talk) 22:40, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

Done. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 11:37, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

Thyme is not in za'atar

In the main ingediants list, is says thyme, but instead it should be Origanum syriacum, like it says on the page itself. Ilay dj (talk) 09:09, 8 September 2025 (UTC)

You are right, I have amended the article to reflect this. Nehme₁₄₉₉ 11:06, 8 September 2025 (UTC)
