  • Owners Abdul Elenani and Ayat Masoud opened their restaurant Ayat serving up hearty Palestinian dishes that are large enough to feed a family. Ayat, who grew up in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, always dreamed of introducing her community to the traditional Palestinian dishes she ate within her home. While Middle Eastern street food flavors - such as shawarma, kebabs, falafel, and hummus - are popular in their neighborhood, some of the more traditional Palestinian and regional recipes she loves are less well known. The nostalgic recipes, which she learned from her mom, include dishes like mansaf - made with lamb that is cooked in a fermented yogurt and served over saj bread and rice and garnished with almonds and parsley.

      It doesn't sound like something that could be done on an industralised scale either, so it'll probably be higher quality meat.

    • @HassanAli-rb5hq
      @HassanAli-rb5hq 2 ปีที่แล้ว +23

      Halal meat is basically predicated on mercy- to reduce the animals suffering. The knife has to be sharp and cut very quickly. The animal can't even see the knife or the blood of other animals before its death, bc it'll get scared and then its not halal. An animal that is too young, sick is not halal. If someone like today in the factories, abuses an animal that animal is not considered halal. The animal must be treated well during its life. The reason you say Allah's name is bc, it's like taking permission from him to kill this animal, bc it's for the purpose of consumption.
      This is a good video that explains it better.
      m.th-cam.com/video/Nc6VpMPsDmk/w-d-xo.html
      That's why I don't think halal can ever be industrialised. Bc the conditions alone will render it haram.

    Middle Eastern food is some of my favorite on earth, but I was not aware of any traditional Palestinian dishes until this episode. I would never live in the concrete jungle that is New York, but it, and LA, are American birth places for the masses to learn about a wide variety of cultures through great food.
    Food, music, and dance are the single greatest contributors to bringing all folks, from all walks of life together, but food is the clear winner. Some folks don't like certain types of dance or music, but rarely is there a moment where folks don't want to try new flavors. New textures not always, but flavors tend to open folks up to a wealth of worlds.
    On a slightly somber, but important note, Palestine is being invaded and there are UN recognized illegal settlements on Palestinian land. That should be dealt with if we even remotely care about freedom to live the way they wish to live.
    That last bit was brought to you by an atheist. I have zero dogs/gods in the fight, but facts are facts. If we are suppose to care about what the UN thinks, then Israel is out of line with the agreements set forth by a wide swath of countries. If we don't mind disregarding the UN, which is fine by me, then we accept that might is right and we hold democracies in higher esteem than that of countries/cultures that suppress women's rights, have little to no freedom of speech, press, religious freedoms, etc. Freedom to be ones self is paramount in my eyes, but if rules are rules, then they are being broken by one nation and we should call them out on that front. That modern absurdity is complicated to no end.

    This is great, worthwhile content. With all due respect you can keep the stuff w/ famous people trying to break down the 'flavor profile' of a fancy $50 "hamburger" with foie gras and caviar make more of this.

    This question has been lingering at the back of my mind for a while but first we feast when you were making this series was there a partial inspiration from the late Anthony Bourdain?
