This is the mendi we ate for lunch on Saturday. Mendi isn’t originally from the Levant, it’s actually from the Arabian Peninsula. Mendi is also popular in parts of India. This one had chicken and the rice had saffron, cloves, white peppercorn, and other spices. We ate it with labn, which is yogurt, and chili sauce. Photo Credit: Allard, 2020
Breakfast has stayed the same since I’ve been here. Of course, everything will depend on the preferences of your host family. We happen to eat hummus with bread and deli meats. There’s also makdoos, which is an eggplant stuffed with nuts and tomatoes. All this is accompanied by tea in our house. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
The coffee in Jordan is my favorite. It’s stronger than typical American coffee and my host mom usually makes it at night. I always take it with sugar. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
Mansaf is the national dish of Jordan. It’s main components are rice, red meat, and jameed, which is a special type of yogurt. This was my first time trying it. Photo credit: Allard, 2020
Manaeesh with za’atar and some cheese is one of my favorites! Photo credit: Allard, 2020
