hey guys, I wanted to know if egyptians were fond of kibbeh and akowi? B/c i love them both . I cant find a pic of akowi, but its this white cheese that goes on top of bread, like a pie.

yeah! the first time i had kibbeh was at a turkish restaurant (they called it something else) and then i spotted it in a lebanese restuarant and i hit it up whenever i go to an arabic restaurant (actually i havent in a long time, apparently its a fat-attack).
noooo, its like, the most magical cheese in the world. Like- something like mozarella, but when its heated, it stays soft and chewy longer.

there is another great cheese called arish, that is usually left outside to age in a ball and then kept in a jar of olive oil. Then they roll it in phyllo like a little spring roll and cook it. I think its called rakaka or something. This is popular in Syria and Lebanon, but I don't know about Turkey or, for that matter, Egypt. Egypt, no, I think not. I love kibbe. Cooked.

Yes he is. His father is Persian, and mother Mexican. Our kids went to school together. his father is my dentist. Gives me 50% discount. But most of the time I'll get 3 like 3 things done, and pay 50% for the cheapest. LOL It is near impossible to pay ME peoples for things. Even when you owe them. LOL
I think they said it was a hero from poem or something. I like it. Really a pretty name. Especially when it's said in native tongue. Really a pretty sound.
That's where I learned to make Baathm juun and theat rice with dill, limas, and tachini. Don't know the name. lol

please dont read my posts and interpret them as correct arabic- i dont know what im talking about.
Lazeez means delicious, so i dont know why they stick a tarmaboota at the end and make it lazeeza. either way- it means delicious (Actually its ladheedha, but oh well)
and khalas - im mixing arabic and english. Khala (aunty) + = aunties .
khala is urdu too.
actually, so is lazeez.
