Mezze at Lebanese House

Welcome!...of course I have to take you out for lunch..won`t you join me....

Call whoever you need to now, before we start...you won't be getting up from the table until it's time to roll you out... 

I do hope you are hungry.  We are having a typical Middle Eastern meal called a 'mezze' or 'mezzeh'. 

Among the fresh olives, lemon mint drinks & grilled meats, we have hummus, tabouleh & roquette salad...

Of course there are plenty of fresh baked flat breads and things I can't pronounce or remember the names of.

 
 
Oh and just outside is a spectacular view...terraced farming is practiced by the Jordanians due to the many hills and mountains that make up the geography.

Just outside is a bevy of blooms...Jordan seems bursting at the seams with life and we were there to catch it all.

 

Should you happen to look up, you'll notice as I do the many lamps and lanterns the beautify Lebanese House. 

So sorry to distract you from your delicious mezze.  Please, enjoy some more food why don't you...there is plenty...

If you are a tried and true North American and simply can`t get through a meal without it, well....here is your Arabian ketchup.

  

When in Jerash, Jordan visit Lebanese House for the most delicious meal with a stunning view. Perhaps if you are lucky enough to join Ms.Tara Bradford on her next `Journey to Jordan` then you too will eat lunch at this famous restaurant.

You have made me hungry, my friend. Famished, in fact. What glorious photos of divine food. I feel like I've been on an adventure just reading your post! xo G

I`m glad you feel that way Gigi! You and the rest will get a break from Jordan for awhile after today, I`ve many other things to blog about alas. But I`m sure I`ll return to it, I did photograph A LOT of food. It`s my weakness. That and LOVE.

You will need that ketchup for the french fries that were delivered to our table at every restaurant, even though we never ordered them.

I love lebanese food, especially Hummus, though to have it where it comes from is something I'm dying to do. Keep the posts coming. Its great to live vicariously :)

Ooh, what a great meal that was! Thanks for snapping so many fab pics. And I appreciate the kudos - yes, Lebanese House will always be on my itinerary; smitten from the time I visited it in 1983! xoxox

I love the stunning view in the background and all the delicious food of course!

Well, this looks fabulous and I have a "thing" about Lebanese food, having been served what I was assured was an authentic Lebanese meal years ago by a friend of Lebanese descent, 1st generation. It was quite horrible - seriously, on my way home I had to stop at the gas station & buy Sweetarts to get the awful taste out of my mouth. Seriously! That bad.

But now I see that perhaps he was a bad cook, or not, as the case may be. I particularly remember the uncooked meat he served. So many, many thanks for this - I can toss that memory out the door. This all looks, as I said, fabulous and delicious. :)

lol...rest assured all was cooked well. It was delicious. He was a bad cook indeed! xo

Does that ever look good. I wish I had bought hummus yesterday - I have a craving for it for lunch now.

Delicious and beautiful... you ate well while away, Gillian! :o) Thanks for taking us to the feast... ((HUGS))

I simply cannot imagine putting ketchup (Dolly's, Heinz or any other kind!) on that amazing food. It's a sin!!! When I was in Rome ages ago, as a teenager, some of the boys on the trip wanted ketchup for their meals. The waiters were OFFENDED. Understandably!!

YUM! And I bet the company was just as good as the food.

Gosh, my dinner tonight is looking quite bland next to these photos.

That food looks spectacular, just my favorites. I hope I can travel with Tara to Jordan.
