    I once walked into a Mid Eastern restaurant in Los Angeles by mistake. The owner said if I didn't like the food, I wouldn't have to pay for it. That was the first time I had saffron rice. It was amazing. Bright yellow gold in color. I told the owner how much I enjoyed my meal. The owner wouldn't let me pay. He said he was just happy to introduce Mid Eastern cuisine to me. That was over 30 years ago and I still remember that rice and owner.

      Most of the most welcoming, kindest, and generous people I have met have been middle eastern, particularly in regards to food. They just get so much joy from sharing their food and their traditions, and if you are open to their generosity, it grows even more. I can never repay the wonderful meals they have given me, aside from further spreading that generosity and learning as much as I can about how to prepare that food for my family and others.

    I missed Dubai so much!!! Have been there twice. There's so much to do for everyone. People said there's no "culture", but you've shown in this video there's clearly history and architecture and rich food scenes as well. People need to get over their assumption of a country and be more open-minded in what it has to offer.

    I think the reason why they spice up the camel meat so much is because camel notoriously have a gamey odor, it's an acquired taste and often to strong for those who isn't used to eat game meat

    • @TsunamiWombat
      @TsunamiWombat Před 2 lety +5

      came here to post this, Camel is a working animal, it ain't exactly raised for meat and they're onery and long lived (compared to farm eat animals). It's tough and gamey and all heck, so eating one is mostly just a novelty in the modern era (and even back in ye aulde it would've been something you did to not waste meat when a camel inevitably died, not something regularly consumed)

You must already know very well that Dubai is a hotpot of cultures & hence all these nationalities contribute to the state culture. And Mikey guy isnt a fool. He's travelled the world and prolly has seen his fellow's videos so he must have taken this new route to explore the city so whats wrong in it? Either way imo it was a good video & the guide wasnt bad.

      Nope, they are called sambusa, although they are like a samosa. The English word samosa derives from Hindi word 'samosa' (Hindi: समोसा), traceable to the Middle Persian word sanbosag (سنبوسگ) 'triangular pastry'. Similar pastries are called sambusak in Arabic; Medieval Arabic recipe books sometimes spell it sambusaj.
      In Central Asia they’re know as samsa.
