How to eat Kfar Meshki? Well, if you are wondering, what the hell that is; it is a Lebanese dish. Yes, in this post, Imma be telling you how to eat Kfar Meshki. Why? The reason is simple; eat Lebanese like the Lebanese. But, before we get to the eating part, let me tell you a little something about Lebanon. It is a country that sits by the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Turkey and Syria. It is believed that the country gets its name from the Semitic root word 'lbn', meaning "white", which is a possible reference to the snow-capped Mount Lebanon. The country has a rich cultural history and evidence that there are the signs of a civilization dating back up to 7000 BC. The Lebanese cuisine is always exotic that everyone has to try  So, how to eat Lebanese? With a hungry stomach, of course.

The Lebanese cuisine is probably one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. It is rich in flavor and low on fat. Typically, the Lebanese include a variety of food grains, fruits, veggies, seafood and poultry. And, yes, lamb is preferred over beef or pork. To top it all, almost all the dishes are seasoned with garlic, lemon juice and olive oil. Most of the dishes are never really fried. They are either grilled, baked or sautéed with olive oil. Talk about healthy cooking methods! Even butter and cream are sparingly used in desserts. Having said that, Tripoli, the 'sweet capital' of the world is located in Lebanon. I wonder, how they managed to get that name for Tripoli.

Eating Kfar Meshki is quite simple, but making it might not be that simple. Kfar Meshki is also known as Kebbe bil-Kishk. It simply translates to meat mixed with wheat and yogurt. The meat here usually would refer to poultry meat rather than red meat. This dish is usually served as the main course of a meal. But then again, you will find variations of the same dish around the country.

Having said the above about Lebanon and how to eat Kfar Meshki, I'm now seriously considering about relocating to Lebanon for good. Maybe some day, I will. Until then; adiós!
