My experience with Middle Eastern cuisine
1. My experience with Middle
Eastern Cuisine
My boyfriend’s neighbors are all from Saudi Arabia and from a
Muslim religious background. They cooked a traditional middle
eastern meal for me- Ghozi was our main dish with the addition
of an Arabic salad, Vimto, and Ulker chocolate wafers for dessert.
I had to eat sitting on the floor with my hands. Traditional middle
eastern peoples eat with their hands on the floor.
2. Ghozi
Ghozi, our main dish is a traditional meal
eaten in the middle east. It is a cooked rice
dish topped with lamb seasoned with
traditional Arabic herbs and spices.
3. Arabic Salad
Accompanying Ghozi is typically an Arabic salad
made of tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, and a
dressing composed of vinegar and oil.
4. Vimto
We drank Vimto to wash down the Ghozi and
Arabic salad. Vimto is predominantly sold
overseas, and has a taste similar to Fanta.
5. Ulker Chocolate Wafer
For dessert was had an Ulker Chocolate wafer.
This is the Middle-Eastern version of a domestic
Kitkat bar sold in the United States.
6. My experiences
Taking part in such a cultural event really
opened my eyes to the world. It showed me
how other cultures interact with each other on a
daily basis and how they eat their native food. I
hang with these people a lot now, absorbing
their ways and learn new things everyday.
