Discover the cultural and culinary customs of the blessed and beautiful Hijaz

[al-Hasani]

such a racist thread !! yummmmm....

Racist? Or have I misunderstood something? Probably I guess.

اليغمش <-- that's what I was talking about!

Btw, u forgot to add Al-baik in it..it's not traditional Arabic dish but STILL it can be consider as one .

I normally dislike fast foods but Al-Baik is a exception. Really something and unlike any other fast food.

yum yum

You are welcome.

A few photos of more Hijazi cuisine:

Hijazi pizza:

A thing that I have not yet covered is the amazing seafood which Hijaz is also famous for. Especially cities such as Jeddah, Yanbu etc.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Some of the food kinda resembles ours... anyways.. only the kebabs etc look nice..

No one can deny Al-Baik's magic, I have seen people parking their cars across the street and crossing roads and what not ONLY to buy Al-Baik..

They should open a franchise of Al-Baik in Pakistan, it would be 'heaven' for me : P

 

[al-Hasani]

Everything looks and tastes wonderfully. Hijazi cuisine is really something. A very diverse cuisine.

Hijazi version of Kabsa:

Hijazi meze (similar to the nearby Levantine)

Falafel:

Shawarma:

Local fruits and vegetables:

The seafood and all the Hijazi fish dishes can wait for tomorrow. Not in the mood for fish, LOL, unless of course @Arabian Legend will cover it.

@Imran Khan are you familiar with some of those traditional Hijazi dishes or is Al-Baik more famous for you? I ask because you have lived in KSA for quite some time if I remember correctly.

You should really try some of the dishes.

You must especially try this dish because it is funny to make.

@Imran Khan this is why you need to get invited by local Hijazis who can show you local dishes that you have never seen before and how to prepare them.

Whether in Yanbu (the famous fish dishes there), Jeddah, Makkah, Madinah, Ta'if etc.

KSA is not a so-called Gulf country or Khaleeji. Only Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar and UAE is that but they all differ from each other. Only Khaleeji part of KSA is the coastal areas of the Eastern Province and that's where most of the Shia population live. They also have very good fish dishes btw.

Lastly, although not the thread, but you really need to taste the cuisine of the southern provinces of KSA and most importantly Yemeni cuisine. I think that you would love it since Yemeni cuisine is the most spicy Arab cuisine and very excellent.

Please feel free to discover this thread and all the dishes I and others have posted.

@al-Hasani

I know its little off-topic, but speaking of food, do you like kalle pache? lol

Some of my Nordic friends, they will not even taste it, because it looks disgusting for them. Especially when seeing the lamb head LOL
One of my vegetarian friends threw up a little, just at the mere sight of it. hahaha
For me, its one of my personal dishes.
