WATCH: Americans Eat Syrian Food for the First Time
In this hilarious video, several Americans are given Syrian dishes to try and their responses are overwhelmingly positive. These are Americans who know little or nothing about Syria, yet enjoy their time learning about the food and trying the traditional dishes. They also practice their Arabic in the video, making it that much more fun to watch. They start by drinking arak, then move onto eating masareen, kishik, kibbeh, maqloubeh, halawet el jibn, and kunafeh. Everyone falls in love with the sweet and savory dishes, even though they are quite different from American and other ethnic foods. Watch the video here:
