Why do we, the Lebanese, have special foods for special occasions?

Favorite Answer

We have different traditions I guess.
What's 7adef :P? The Ramadan specials in Tripoli are: khebez el mewe, kellage, karbouj :P
My mom makes moghrabiyeh and mloukhiyeh during the weekdays because they are easy to prepare..
But I love moghli and I am having snayniyeh soon :D...Show more

In my opinion, we lebanese are like the italians of the middle east (we are very food orientated!!)

I come from a family that lives strongly for the two F's... Family & Food.

In most cultures, when a baby is born... they will maybe all knit a blanket for the child (or whatever they do). But we Lebanese, take so much pride and love in food that FOOD itself actually becomes an ideal way to celebrate occasions. I think food is important to the lebanese culture therefore it only seems right to have extra-special dishes for extra-special occasions.


i wouldnt have it any other way :D


edit: its sort of like other versions of cakes on your birthday. we just incorporate food to a million other occasions hehe...Show more

If it truly is for a particular day then Mosto ball soup. as well that, Moroccan fish is the most acceptable, couscous is likewise sturdy, and hamin(or cholent for Ashkenazis). different Jews practice dinner those food in yet differently, i in my opinion imagine Moroccans are the most acceptable cooks so I somewhat propose that you get a Moroccan to practice dinner this stuff for you or to a minimum of supply you the recipe. Btw are you cooking for your gf? it really is soooo sweat, for some reason I see you burning the foodstuff lol. Nah in basic terms kidding have thrilling :)...Show more
