Kicking out Lebanese for Turkish :slight_smile:

103

I used to have Lebanese next-door neighbors (a young couple in their 20s) who always had siblings visiting, and the cooking smells coming from their backyard were always mouth-watering.

On one occasion I was talking to the wife when I was outside, and mentioned that my wife was away for a few weeks. An hour later her husband was at my door with a plate of food; guess they figured I didn’t know how to cook. The food was wonderful. I returned their plate with a cake in it.

I still love it — one of our best friends is Lebanese, and a fabulous cook. Thankfully, I don’t actually have to choose between either IRL :wink:

Nice neighbors!

I’m quite aware. I love cacio e pepe, too. I just don’t see that as American Italian. Just thought I’d throw out the foods that have evolved from those different populations. Know what I’m sayin’?

That was my Armenian neighbors growing up. I was drinking their coffee when I was 3. They always had something good to eat and drink. Wish I was old enough to leech some recipes from Gulu, but she was in her upper 70s then. Ate many a meal from her hands.

I’d say Mexican, Indian, Thai, Peruvian and Ethiopian. Though Filipino food could tie with the latter two

I must say, my experience with Georgian food is pretty limited. Any particular dishes you would recommend?

111

Georgian food has elements of Asian, Mediterranean and Eastern Euro foods, often with sour plums, herbs and walnuts added.

My favourite Georgian dishes include:

  1. Meat Khinkali
