One of the few things I remember from my trip to Beirut (I was 3 years old) was the smell and noise of cars, one thing I don't like Haha I don't mind a culinary thread *rubs hands* Ma2loube is basically rice with fried veggies like eggplant, garlic, paprica, potatoe and some put meat/ chicken in it. Love it, asked my mother to make it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lara Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Goddddd you're making me feel hungry!!!! I can't eat Baba Gannouj cos I became allergic to aubergines and I really miss them. OK, so, ur all familiar with Lebanese and Middle Eastern food.... what's ur favourite?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackQueen Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hehehe, count me in for a culinary thread! Syria is amazing in every way. But driving is terrible, that is true: Damascenes call their main square "Oh My God Square" due to what English turists say whenever they have to cross it or take a taxi:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LebAngel Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 "Oh My God Square" great!!! mmm my favourite meals: la7em b3ajin, méné'ish 3al sajj, chawerma, chich tawouk:wub2: :wub2: this is the most common ones that I love the most & missed a loot!! btw I love ALMAZA (always remember the ad: almaza beterfa3 el rass ) & lebanese ice cream are the best:thumb_yello: Well I think if I continue like this, I won't sleep tonight *going to the kitchen* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubitus Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I also read somewhere that the grace kelly video was filmed in mika's parents home in london so the food we see there must be lebanese food it was so colourful typical lebanese.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monshi Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Goddddd you're making me feel hungry!!!! I can't eat Baba Gannouj cos I became allergic to aubergines and I really miss them. OK, so, ur all familiar with Lebanese and Middle Eastern food.... what's ur favourite?? Haha, yeah you get hungry! I looooove aubergines, and other veggies for that matter not that familiar with lebanese/arabic food, know some of them, but I love food that isn't swedish. But when you say middle eastern do you also mean iranian?? cuz, that I know, very well! love to eat it and cook it but my mum is really amazing at cooking, so it is a shame for me to do it, and waste the food... anyway, how are you doing Lara? is it getting any better?

AKateisaKate Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 YUMMY! Hehe, I don't know if I could pick a favorite. I talk about this way too much! I think I've eaten more Dolmas than any other lebanese food, ummm.... I love lehmagenes and guyas (cookies). I don't know if those are really, really lebanese or more armenian. I'll stop now. How is everyone? I've got a half-day at school today so I'll be on later. Ciao! Hope you all have a nice beginning-of-the-weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's what I was thinking, it was one of the first things I asked about in this thread That food on the piano looks delicious, yea typically lebanese Oh I love the idea of Mika sitting down on a big table with his whole family digging in on all the delicious lebfood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBlackQueen Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Hard to say only one favourite, I like almost all Arabic-Lebanese meals:naughty: Perhaps hummus and taboule are a favourite, and also shwarma 'arabi (I've never had a yummier one than those at the tiny spot near Al-Nawfara, behind the Omayad Mosque in Old Damascus, with its tum sauce and all). Also knafe and sesame biscuits... I'm hungry again!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
