Quote
| - The Salsi shawarma is a perfect illustration of the unity and diversity Sierrans share as a people, who come together from all walks of life to create something wonderful for all humanity to enjoy. What started off as traditional dishes from Arab and Mexican cooking bloomed a dish that was a unique, new take that speaks boldly of the adventurous and open innovation of the Sierran people. Salsi shawarma is quintessentially Sierran.

Due to the health concerns raised from frequent consumption of Salsi shawarma, the dish has gained the derisive nickname as the "heart ticker". Health-conscious versions of the salsi shawarma has been developed, including vegetarian or vegan variations. National food chains including Richie's Hot Boxes, Del Toro, and Fifi's sell mass-produced, commercial salsi shawarma.
