Te coffee rituals of lebanese households
are a pleasure to experience, especially with the
delicate cups sans handles, and drunk in sweet, medium
or bitter forms. Sweet dishes like bahklawa are often
served at this session, rather than after a meal. This
is also the time to serve delicious pastries, cookies,
etc.
Though fresh fruit like grapes, figs, dates, etc. are
very widely popular, vegetables like potatoes, beet,
cane, etc. also are consumed widely. Among leguminous
foods, the chickpeas or garbanzo beans are the most
widely used, and lebanese dishes like the dip,hummus,
etc. made of them are in constant demand globally.
Tender grapevine leaves are widely used to either scoop
out dollops of dips like hummus or tabouli, or canned
and used for dishes like steamed rolls, etc.
Many ingredients similar to the eastern world are used,
which may have different names and maybe a slight
different procedure.
