Food of the Kurds

    Kurdish food was actually something that really caught my attention. Fruits and vegetables are the most common foods that are used during their cooking. Lets start with breakfast. Breakfast for the Kurds is very different than the typical American breakfast. Sheep and cow yogurt are probably the two most popular things to eat. Other popular breakfast foods are things such as cheese, honey, and maybe even a flatbread. To drink, it is typically straight black tea.
     For lunch, it is mostly vegetables and rice. Lamb is the most popular meat when it comes to lunch. The lamb, along with the rice is usually put together and made into a type of stew or soup. There`s also a thing called Kubba / Kubbeh which is equivalent to a meat dumpling, something you would possibly get at a Chinese place here in America. Not only do they drink straight black tea, but they enjoy sweetened tea, and strong coffee too.
     Let me tell you some of the most popular dishes for dinner. The first dish is called Kurdish Lentil Soup. The ingredients are: lentils, salt, black pepper, curry powder, olive oil, onions, and vermicelli. Another dish is called Crispy Okra Raita which involves: okra, canola oil, yogurt, salt, sugar, cayenne, turmeric, mustard seeds, and coriander. Last, but not least, Kurdish tea which just involves honey, lemons, and water.
