excerpt:
Next to a table laden with hamburgers and hot dogs was another buffet set up with Kurdish dishes — biryani flecked with vermicelli, carrots, peas and noodle-like strips of chicken; cucumber and tomato salad; kutilk, eye-shaped fritters filled with chicken and crusted with a thick layer of rice; and eprax, stuffed grape leaves nestled in a pot of rice with silken pieces of cabbage.

Hardly a surprise that there was no alcohol.
By the by, is there any particular reason why these refugees have settled in Nashville? Was there a longstanding Kurdish community there already?

Thanks for that. Interesting article. Evidence there that refugees want to settle where there’s already a community. FWIW, my metro region is home to about 5000 Kurds.
