wow you have made me feel ooh so hungry lol Looks yummy . Thx for sharing these pictures
Helen :-)
Ok - somebody help me out here please?
The 3rd picture has a shaker of some kind. It looks like it is filled with corn kernels. What is it? What does it taste like and what do you put it on? Are the wraps the thing Hearty calls "saj"? They look good!! Spicy? Hot? Oily? I like to try different foods I find if I have a general idea of what to expect......... Thanks! Ruth
The shaker is just salt. There is a covering, however, around the glass only. The saj is thin bread made into a wrap whih can contain a multitude of different things - humous, or melted cheese, zaatar (a paste of olive oil and thyme and sesame seeds), a greek salad mix, and so on. Look out Middle Eastern cookery books - Claudia Roden has some great recipes. I hope that this helps. Of course, sitting in a restaurant downtown Beirut, down from the Place d'Etoile watching Beirut go by, in a restaurant overlooking the Pigeon Rocks and the Mediterranean in late spring, or sitting in the cool pine-scented air in the hills of Broumana make it all taste better. Why not go and experience it yourself? Lebanon is a joy. Hearty :)
hi all,
it was a great breakfast and finkployd was generous enough to post these pictures in an anonymous way and hearty is right u should all try it here in lebanon PS: hearty, what lips are u talking about?in what picture
I will keep my lip preferences to myself thank you! I plan to visit over the next few weeks for a weekend to see my friends and beloveds, (delayed by the noisy interruption), and I am very much looking forward to it. Lots of good food, great wine, good company, and lots of laughs, hopefully. Hearty :)
OK jO - the lips belong to the lord of the rings! When I come over in a few weeks I will keep a lookout for them while I trundle around Beirut late at night, bar-hopping and clubbing, rather tipsy no doubt, but keeping a eye out nevertheless. Hearty :)
Thanks hearty!! I will try to find some of the recipes and try some. I love wraps and the ingredients you mentioned sounded great.
As far as visiting, well, I'd love to visit both Lebanon and Israel. But you guys keep bombing each other and blowing up buses and cars and I'm chicken. Some day though... :) Looking forward to authentic saj - s. (Don't know how to make it plural!!) :)
There are some good Middle Eastern cookery books by Tessa Mallos too, by the way. You can visit - and it is far safer than you think. I feel safer walking all over Beirut or Cairo than I would some neighbourhoods in Manhatten, Boston or Poughkeepsie! It is only a matter of perception. Think about it. I am sure you would have a marvellous time, in both places. Hearty :)
ok Hearty
hoping to bump into you when u come over the lord of the rings!!
I am suddenly even more keen to visit! One eye on my saj the other watching intently my fellow diners' hands and lips. Hearty :)

correct, but you miss the point.
1) the less important point:
technically speaking, you can scan the stub only once, and modify it photoshop also once to produce many stubs to cover the enti [...]

Interesting! however, for me, the time spent on scanning and photoshoping and printing the ticket is worth more than the 500 LL i was going to pay

Is it just me or does the first ad aim to enlarge your Balls ?! Who would ever want to do THAT ?!

Good work. Money seems to bulldoze beautiful buildings in capitals round the globe. So inspiring to see young people involved in this action.
