Eating and drinking in Syria for me is a real feast!!! Sweet and savory, food and drinks. Here you see, we were only just out of bed and bought these sweets. They don't taste very nice, but the look of them just makes you want to buy them!!!!
Everywhere you can buy fresh juice. They will juice oranges, pomegranets, mullberries, strawberrys and what else, for you in a pretty glass, ready to enjoy on every cornor of the street
In spring time fresh vergetables are no problem!
As Syria is very close to Turkey, Turkish coffee with cardamom is a common drink.
Outside, enjoying Roman remains in the middle of a shopping street
This is my absolute favorite! Baba ganoush! Very different from the baba ganoush we have here in Holland or I know from Marokko. It is roasted eggplant, finally chopped with a knife, mixed with springonions, bellpeppers, nuts, and pomegranate. And ofcourse olive oil. You eat this with flatbread.
Ofcourse Hummus.
In Damascus you will eat in a restaurant like this. There are so many of these old damascene houses that are restored and in the courtyard there are restaurants. Most of them have a roof over the restaurant. Warm in winter nice and cool in summer. This one has an orangetree in the courtyard.
And this I had never had before. It is lemonjuice mixed with fresh mint. Amazing!
