Cuisine of the Middle East: Middle Eastern Cuisine
The Middle East was an early center for cultivating wheat, barley, pistachios, figs and pomegranates. Middle Eastern cuisine later incorporated influences from neighboring regions including fruits, rice and recipes exchanged along the Silk Road. Traditional Middle Eastern meals are eaten with the hands or bread rather than utensils and emphasize generous hospitality. Popular dishes include kebabs, falafel, tabbouleh and baba ghanouj while desserts like baklava feature phyllo dough. Ramadan involves daytime fasting and is followed by a feast at Eid ul-Fitr.
Greek food
Greek cuisine is based on the Mediterranean diet and uses ingredients like olive oil, fresh vegetables, fish, lamb, and tomatoes. Meals have influences from both Eastern and Western culinary traditions. Dishes are prepared simply and served in a relaxed, social atmosphere at restaurants and taverns. Common Greek foods include dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), exokiho (stuffed pastry), fakes (lentil soup), fasolada (bean soup), and gyro sandwiches featuring roasted meats.
