>>798672>At least from my perspective.i guess it starts to make sense when you divide them beyond borders to regions when it comes to food (even dialect sometmes) levant, mesopotamian, gulf, egyptians are almost their own, libyan and west-north african. of course they'll feel the same when they got syces picoted lol.
i get the feeling before the carving most arabs identified with their regions and the closest cities, not as syrians and palistenian the countries, but with the region and what local ruler had influence.
>Also I can’t recall ever eating at a middle eastern restaurant that advertised itself as Palestinian-owned.surprisingly neither do i beyond the internet, i did see lebanese and libyan as well though…they do remind me of the balkan in this sense, homogenous food but every people have their twist
