"What I Eat in a Week in Amman" by Destiny Magnett
Food is one of the most important parts of the culture in Amman and throughout the Middle East, and love is often shown through food! One of my favorite parts of spending time in Amman so far is the food my host mom has shared with me (she’s a great cook!). In the States, I am vegetarian, and I have tried to still eat meat-free dishes for most meals in Jordan but have been flexible so that I have the chance to try non-vegetarian foods that are culturally important like mansaf. So, here is everything that I ate in a week in Amman through photos.
