Most Popular Dishes in Jordan: Part Six!

Writing Challenge: Day 11
Sunday, April 11th, 2021


16. Zarb (The Bedouin Cuisine):
Fancy a night with the bedouins in Wadi Rum?
The zarb meal will definitely be in the package! A mix of lamb and chicken, rice, carrots, onions and potatoes are placed in a hole in the ground, which is filled with flaming hot coals. It's a dish that Jordanians look for when they visit the southern part of Jordan, and it's usually followed by the bedouin tea which is brewed over coals.

17. Makmorah:
Heading up north, makmorah is a very popular dish among farmers and villagers, especially in the olive picking season during October and November. This pie is prepared of thin dough layers, and chicken or meat cooked with onions in a fresh-pressed olive oil. Finally it's covered with aluminium foil, and baked in the oven.

18. Kabsih:
Kabsih is a very common dish in the GCC countries, but it found its way to the Jordanians' dining tables easily, and became deeply rooted in the Jordanian cuisine.
This is a very spiced-rice meal made of tomato sauce with mushrooms and carrots and prepared with lamb or roasted chicken. Kabsih is given its special flavor by the galangal root and black lime.

Another spiced-rice meal is the Ouzi rice. What's not to like about a rice cooked with carrots, peas and minced meat?

Both, Kabsih and Ouzi are covered with fried almonds and pine nuts when served.

19. Seneyyeh (Baked Chicken or Meat Trays):
"Seneyyeh" means a tray, and it refers to any oven-baked chicken or meat in a tray. Vegetable slices like onions, sweet peppers and potatoes are added to the tray. This is considered by many, especially working moms, an easy meal to be prepared beforehand, and kept in the fridge until it's baked right before lunch time. It's either served with rice or bread, and eaten mostly with a salad or cold yoghurt.

20. Kibdeh, Ethal and Kalawi (Eid Al-Adha Cuisine):
Lamb or cow's liver, spleen and kidneys are pressured-cooked in the morning of Eid and served as a breakfast or brunch. This unusual breakfast isn't considered heavy on the stomach during the Feast of the Sacrifice or what's known locally as Eid Al-Adha, which follows the pilgrimage season.
Jordanians wake up early on Eid days and sacrifice a sheep or a cow, or both for those who can afford it. They do hard work on cutting the meat and spreading third of it to the poor, third to their friends, and keep the last third to themselves. After a tiring manual work, such meal comes in handy to those who worked all morning and gives them extra strength to go through the day.

So I should start meals' names in capital letters? Even if they didn't come first in the sentence?
I'm sorry that I ask a lot ;) I just like that I can learn from my mistakes.

Oceandrive, is "yoghurt" just a variant spelling of yogurt? Or does it really have another meaning?
Because I use both spellings thinking it's the same thing :D

It seems to me like a proper noun, so I believe so. However, for generic objects, this isn't the case.

For example:

We're going to eat corn tonight. -"Corn" is generic, and not a name, so it's not capitalized.

We're going to eat Southern caramel cake tonight. -"Southern caramel cake" is the name of a specific recipe, so it's capitalized.

It all depends on whether you're naming a specific proper noun or not. For this entry, I assumed that all the recipe names were proper nouns.

I had to look it up, because I'd never seen "yoghurt" before, but apparently it's the common way to spell "yogurt" in the UK. There are slight spelling and pronunciation differences between different countries, but it shouldn't impede communication too much.

Oh, I see your point now : ) I read a little about proper nouns after I got your reply, and you were right!
