Default ZATAR and Is there more than one kind of Tyme

Zatar is not just one spice but a mixture of several herbs, etc. There
are at least three varieties of thyme that I know of and probably more.
One ingredient of zatar is sumac. I would look it up on the web and you
should be able to find the proper mix and/or a place to buy it. Most
Middle Eastern stores or deli's carry the stuff.

Does anyone grow the spice Lebanese call zataar?

What is it.

I understand there is more than one variety of thyme.

Can you list then and maybe describe them?

What type is sold as a spice?



Thanks in advance for any info
