Heaven on Earth

If there is a bit of slice of Heaven on Earth, Then this place is truley it.

Just put your feet up and let the cool lebanese mountain breeze come to you.

Is this the Swiss country side?...HELL NO!

Your in Lebanon my friend :)

Telefrique

One of the TOP 10 things to do in Lebanon.

Grab a ride on the Telefrique.

Start from the City of Jounieh and ride it all the way up over the mountain side to be closer to heaven at Our Lady of Lebanon, Harrisa.

3arous II

Eat your heart out McDonalds!

3arous

Nothing like stopping on the side of the road during your "Shem el Hawa" drive around the Lebanese country side to make yourself a canon of a coal fired Chicken 3arous with toom!

Falafel

I died with a falafel in my mouth. It was *THAT* good!

Probably the most famous of all Lebanese foods. A rival for Tabouli and Hummous in terms of Western popularity.

Stubborn Bezai'

These are the ones that were too stubborn to come out and the tastier part of the snail was stuck back inside. The Fat!

These stubborn snails you collect as you eat. You dont work on them while theres still some snails left on the table. You guard these with your life until all free snails on the table have finished.

Once the freebie have finished, you may begin work unlodging these brown nuggets of gold. There are two methods.
1. You grab the shell in one hand between your thumb and index finger, and you smash your hand against the palm of the other hand hoping to dislodge the stubbon peice.

if that doesnt work, try method 2.

2. Grab a knice and using the handle of the knife, you lightly tap the bottom half of the shell until you can see and reach the stuck peice. Using the toothpick that you were using early to pluck the smails out of their shell, lightly scrap and simultaneously gently push the remaining peice towards the opening of its help. Hopefull you can dislodge this stubbon peice and consume its aphrodisiac goodness!

btw...dont forget the taratoooooor

Gerarank

Some people call them Gerank, some Ganerek, some Gerarenk and some get it totally wrong calling them Khowkh. But what ever name takes your fancy, you cant help but unleash your tastes buds on these little green balls.

Bezai'

Nothing better than going back to lebanon after 18 years away and to have you grandmother preparing you one of your favourite foods. BEZAI'!!!!

Fenjen Ahwe

The Lebanese Placebo.

For 5 minutes 5 times a day, this little cup of liquid black gold has brought about the cessation of wars, time out of husband and wife's daily domestic hostilities, Is a magnet which attracts your closest lebanese neighbour early in the morning, mid afternoon and evening for a drop over and a fine balance of how many youve consumbed which can lead to the soothing of a headache or the creation of one.
