Hey fellow adventurers! I’m sorry this was posted late. I’ve made some popular Saudi food for today’s post. First, I’ll talk about dining etiquette and then I’ll share the recipes I tried.
There’s not going to be any pork or alcohol in a Saudi dish because Muslims don’t consume those foods. Men and women normally dine in separate rooms. If men and women are dining together, women shouldn’t directly touch food that is being served to a Muslim male (unless they’re immediate relatives). Before meals, you should wash your hands (especially if you’re going to eat with your hands). Before you eat, you say either “Sahtain” (“bon appetit”) or “Bismillah” (In the name of Allah) and when the meal is over you say “Daimah” (“may there always be plenty at your table”). Also, you shouldn’t start eating until the after the oldest male has begun eating. When eating, make sure to try a little bit of everything offered. And like in India, NEVER use your left hand to eat! It’s considered unclean and rude to do so. You shouldn’t even pass food with your left hand. Your left hand should be by your side for the entire meal. At the end of the meal, it is appropriate to thank the host or hostess for a wonderful meal.
Sahtain! I made a vegetarian version of kabsa which is a national rice dish that originates in Saudi Arabia. It was AMAZING! Definitely making this again! Definitely recommend this!
I wasn’t sure what to pair it with because it looks like they eat a lot of bread and meat in Saudi Arabia which are two things that I don’t want to make. Eventually I decided on balila which is a street vendor food item. If you like lemon and garlic, I highly recommend this! It has a strong flavor but I loved it.
Since we couldn’t drink alcohol, we bought non-alcoholic beer, and I didn’t hate it. I could see myself buying it again.
As for dessert, if you’re going to have just one Arabian dessert, I highly suggest it be kanafa. However, I already had that so I made cake. It tastes like a mix between pound cake and cornbread. It’s interesting. Not bad but I won’t make it again.
Here are the recipes if you want to try making any of these dishes yourself:
