Hummus, tabuleh, sharwma, bread, raita, falafel... food I had never really eaten much of before coming to Jordan. It's heavy, like Puerto Rican food, but the base of it is totally different. Where we use plantain and pork for almost everything, they use chickpeas, yogurt and lamb. I have to admit that I didn't like it much at first. But now, it's grown on me. Moussa took me to this place in Jabal Hussein. It's like the Arabic version of La Bombonera in Old San Juan. It was affordable and delicious food. I wasn't able to have dinner afterwards, though. Very heavy stuff! But yummy!
