Part of my mission with this Feast in the Middle East project is to increase cultural understanding. There were certainly some unique cultural experiences that I had in my upbringing as a first generation Arab American that some people might find a little kooky. Conversely, if you grew up in a Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Jordanian, Armenian, Greek, or even Italian household, some of these experiences might resonate with you, and make you think “Oooh I am not the only one!” So, I hope if you had these experiences as well growing up you will feel validated! If my video below sounds completely foreign to you, hopefully you have gained a deeper understanding of Middle Eastern culture. If you have experiences to add to this list, please leave them in the comments below! I will be uploading a new healthy dessert recipe next week, but in the meantime, hope you enjoy this video:
