Mansaf, The Jordan National Dish

Jamal invited us to his home for lunch on Wednesday.  It was an "eat till you drop" affair, and the main course was the Jordanian national dish called Mansaf.


Here's what you do:  Tear off a thin piece of bread.  Then fold it over and use it to grab a big of hunk of rice and meat.  Then stuff it all in your mouth.  It's fun, but messy.  Very tasty.

Mansaf can be made with chicken or lamb.  This dish was made with lamb. 


We had to wait for the local TV station to interview Jamal for an upcoming program about his humanitarian work.  The interviewer and camera crew were all invited to stay and have lunch with us.  Of course they accepted the invitation.
