    CELEBRATION OF FOOD - On my first day, actually first evening in Beirut, Lebanon, we tried over 25 different dishes - it was indeed a celebration of Lebanese food! For a long long time now, I’ve been a huge fan of Lebanese food. Even as a kid, I would go out to eat Lebanese food with my parents, and we’d some of the most common dishes like hummus, tabbouleh, baba ghanoush and shish taouk. So already with a love for Lebanese cuisine, I was thrilled to be in Beirut, Lebanon, for the first time, to try the real food!
    What is Mezze? - Mezze is an entire culture of eating small dishes served as appetizers and salads. Along with a full mezze spread, it’s common to drink arak, a traditional Levantine spirit made from grapes and aniseed.
    Abou Hassan Restaurant (goo.gl/maps/X9PMsa54MHgekLrg9) - Maya brought us to Abou Hassan, a well known mezze and Lebanese food restaurant in Beirut. I loved it from the moment I walked in and saw all the different mezze appetizers and salads lined up and waiting to be ordered. It was without a doubt a festival of foods, flavors, colors, a true taste of Lebanese eating culture.
    Here are a few of the dishes we ordered:
    Tabbouleh - Salad of parsley, bulgar, tomatoes, onions, lemon
    Warak Enab - Stuffed grape leaves
    Lebanese Toum - King of dips, pure garlic blended with vegetable oil
    Shanklish - Aged Levantine cheese
    Lamb Brains - Sautéed with garlic sauce
    Tagine - Tahini (sesame paste), roasted nuts
    Chicken Hearts - Caramelised in pomegranate molasses
    Al Halabi Restaurant (goo.gl/maps/rkYpWgqZSsJFqPWr7) - Next, my friend Kamel () brought us to Al Halabi Restaurant, an iconic restaurant in Beirut, known for mezze and especially for the Lebanese raw meat platter. Raw meat is commonly eaten in Lebanon, and it’s a delicacy and it’s incredibly delicious. We had raw lamb fat, meat of various textures, kibbeh nayyeh, and raw liver. Additionally, after another spectacular Lebanese meal, we were ushered to another table that was filled with dessert - a bounty of never ending fruit and sweet desserts.
    Thank you again to USAID Lebanon Enterprise Development Project for supporting my trip to Lebanon.

    Mark, how clever of you to make it to Lebanon! One of my favorite countries ever! I went to the American University of Beirut couple of years ago to study Arabic and the history of the Arab world and I ended up falling in love with Lebanon. What a beautiful country! The mountains, the cedar forests ( a UNESCO heritage site), the amazing and ancient history of Lebanon known as ancient Phoenicia where the Alphabet was invented in the lovely city of Byblos, the land where Europa was born. She was born in Tyre, less than 40 Km from Beirut..
    Lebanon is amazing and safe ! I’m so happy you get to live and see the wonders of that country and taste its unparalleled gastronomy . Although, the best food is generally eaten at people’s homes. The Lebanese cook like nobody else. And on top of that, they are so kind, generous and hospitable. I must go back. Greetings from Norway.

    Such a beautiful city, I never knew just how beautiful Beirut is, sadly I started watching more of Beirut after the explosion, it’s heartbreaking to know how much damage was done...the people of Beirut are so amazingly beautiful, certainly not the place I’ve heard so many things about esp during the war, I hope to someday visit (after my visit to Jordan Amman, when it’s safe to go no less) I can’t wait, there is so much of the world to see, I lived in Texas for 22 years, born and raised in Canada, we think our food is amazing, far cry from other parts of the world

    After more than 50 different dishes and 3 to 4 hrs at the table with lots of Arak, the Main Course of much different Fish has been served. I fell in love with Beirut and Lebanon at the first bite.
    I was fortunate and blessed to return many times, sometimes for the weekend only. :-D
    NB: It is unfortunate what happened to Lebanon afterward.
