One of national dishes   in Lebanon - it's meat, fried in white, from a young lamb with spices or daud bash, a large sauce of sheep's juice with sauce, served in large dishes and placed in the middle of the table. In ancient times this dish was prepared from chopped lamb, which was then mixed with spices. Of course, after the appearance of a meat grinder and a food processor, this method of cooking meat has ceased to be used, however, in some provincial villages the tradition has survived to this day.

Despite the huge number of recipes for cooking pilaf, for all of them is characterized by the presence of one small feature, which consists in combining two groups of ingredients: different types of meat (zivrak) and a certain type of cereals.

As for wine, the history of its appearance began in the distant past - it was the Phoenicians who learned the ancient Greeks to produce wine and gave them a vine. According to legend, the teenager approached the hotel of the Phoenician pastor and asked him to spend the night in his house. The shepherd let him into his house, fed him and gave him water. As a token of gratitude for the hospitality the teenager offered the shepherd his food - he poured a glass of red wine into the glass. The shepherd was immersed in the indescribable delight of this drink and asked his guest what it was and why he had the color of blood, and the guest replied that it was the blood of grapes.

The use of crushed or ground rice can lead to the fact that instead of oriental treats you get ordinary porridge.

This young man was Dionysius, the god of wine. It was he who taught the Phoenicians how to make wine. From Phenicia, where the sun was shining from six to seven months of the year, the divine humidity, poured into amphorae, was sent to all countries of the Mediterranean. Ancient Romans considered Phoenician wine to be the best in the world. Today's inhabitants of Lebanon continue the ancient traditions and, like their ancestors, use caves in mountain slopes to store wine.
