I Ate A Home Cooked Meal in Syria

Yesterday, I was invited into a Syrian home, which turned out to be THE BEST HOME COOKED MEAL that I've had in a loooong long time.

The dish they made me is called kibbeh, and I think it's now my #1 favorite dish in the Middle East (behind shawarma and manaeesh).

I spent 5 hours with this amazing family as we went to the market to get the ingredients, then cooked in the kitchen and ate together outside on a big table.

This video was spontaneous. I had no idea what would unfold when I knocked on their door. Maybe it was going to be an awkward day with little conversation? Maybe the food wouldn't be tasty? ... But turns out that it was one of the most memorable experiences in recent memory, and I hope you enjoy this special taste of Syrian food and hospitality!

Is it obvious to you yet that I am loving this country?!
