@martinfeld Those are a similar amount of leftovers from my blended Ashkenazi, Kansas Lutheran, Irish/Italian Catholic family meals! 😁

@Bruce Haha that’s a fair thing to say! Basically it’s any culture that isn’t a typical Anglo one; at least, that’s the case here in Australia.

@martinfeld Oof. I feel ya. My Grandmother was Arab and the amount of food she’d cook for us… she had a lot of French and Greek influences too, so we had vast quantities of very rich food. “Eat, eat, you’re fading away!”

@yorrike Haha they all say the same thing! Quite often we’d hear, ‘Finish your food or Jesus will be angry!’. Did you have a particular favourite dish?

@yorrike We do have stuff like baklava and bougatsa with @NTKF’s family sometimes but I think that was a kind of savoury pastry.

@martinfeld I love the kobeiba, which I think the Greeks call kibbeh - we had It Lebanese-style baked in a dish. I also loved the tiropitas.
