so, theoretically, pita pockets seem like a really good idea. you can stuff them full of things you might not put in a sandwich (today i have tabouli salad, for instance, with tomatoes and feta cheese).
but when push comes to shove, so to speak - pitas are misleading. about 5 bites into them, and your desk is covered with tabouli. they completely disintegrate, and that helpful looking pocket blows open.
they're still really good, though.
Pitas are good with grilled chicken breasts and swiss cheese and honey mustard.

That sounds good.
Can we get some mayo instead of honey mustard and maybe a slice of tomato?
but the tomato is where it becomes dangerous.

That's true for sandwiches and burgers too.
The tomato fucks everything up with its succulent juices.
bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches with mayonnaise are legendary in their Falling-Apart-ness.
If god had intended for tomatoes to go on a sandwich he would have made them out of meat.

You need to de-seed tomatoes before putting them on a sandwich.

is that girl on the left nailed by her stole to the doorway, or is she alone standing in a really brisk breeze?

haha. that's not part of the costume. she brought it back with her from the bathroom. :D
Nishi- I've discovered if I warm the pita a little first before putting in the succulent goodness it works better. Kinda like steaming a tortilla before making a burrito.
That said- I usually just cut the pita up and use it to scoop up hummous and tzatziki.
If you coat the interior of the pita with hummus first, then add some tabouleh, then a couple of falafels, and drizzle with tahini, you may get better results.
Why ruin a perfectly good pita by putting hummus on it?

Because if you don't eat hummus, then the terrorists have won.
