Not suprisingly I have chosen to begin with an account about food here. Jordanian cuisine ...flat bread, hummus, baba ghanoush (dip made from smoked eggplant and tahini), kibbe maqliya (deep fried meat balls) and tabouleh salad.
Mansaf is made from lamb served atop a bed of rice and yogurt sauce. We have lamb in common as our national dish.
Dessert is an Arabic specialty with baklawa (baklava) made with delicate layers of fllo dough covered in nuts and honey. Konafa is a shredded dough filled with goat cheese or nuts then baked in syrup.
After a meal, it's traditional to order a nargileh, a waterpipe or hubble bubble. Shared between several smokers, the pipes burn a mild, aromatic tobacco, often apple flavored.
