Arabic food

July 5, 2007

This picture below is the one when I visited my Arabic friend. He cooked it for us. He is a good cook. He often cooked delicious Arabic food for us taking a long time. These are rice , baked chicken, and baked potatos with cheese. Arabic food is put on a big plate and put on the floor. We ate food with our right hand. I heard we couldn’t use our left hand. I always use chopsticks or a spoon or a fork, so It’s a little bit difficult for me at first, in addition, Arabic rice is smoother than Japanese rice. It’s difficult to gather them, but eating them with our hands made food more delicious. Try it!

This picture below is Arabic tea. I also drank Arabic coffee. I’ve never tried Arabic tea, but I’ve tried Arabic coffee at a party which took place at a class after a final examination. Coffee which I drank at the class was very astringent. The second one was more easier to drink for me. The tea cups were very small, and the way to pour tea into the cup was interesting. He held the tea pot and the cup in his hands and poured tea from high place into the cup and made small sound by hitting the tea pot and the cup last.
