If you’ve never visited an Arab country, there are many reasons to do so, and the food is just one of them. In the Arab world, you can find some of the most delicious (not to mention cheap) meals you’ll ever eat in your life. If you like trying new things, start packing your bags!
Just like any other nation, Arabs take pride in their culture and culinary skills. It's very personal though; we're almost married to food.
Warning: If you happen to be our guest, we don't take no for an answer when it's lunch time, and we don't spare you even if you're on a healthy diet to lose weight. It's out of our hands, ma3lesh!
Long story short, here's why we love food so much!
1. It's poetry
... and love all at once!
"I see in food what Qais sees in Layla"
Qais & Layla are our very own Romeo & Juliet <3
Though burgers may not be ours, we love them all the same, and we're definitely past the friend zone.
3. Food inspires happy endings!
"That piece of chocolate at the bottom of the ice-cream cone, that last shawarma bite - that's how happy endings are made possible."
4. Food fixes every problem
EVERY PROBLEM!
5. Just look at the kid before and after eating!
Akl is happiness. Simple!
6. This!
"When you offer me food and I say no, don't take me seriously, ask me again!"
This is crazy but so true, we tend to be shy at first ... but it only lasts for a few seconds!
7. Aiming to break world records with our food is just 3ade to us
... and there are more than enough people to feast after any food record is broken!
Whether it's the largest falafel in Jordan, the gigantic hummus serving in Lebanon, or the biggest qatayef in Palestine - we're definitely in!
8. We pamper our loved ones by fighting over the bill!
9. Aaaand ads like this one just sum things up!
Marketing done right!
