I'm really interested in trying the breads, cheeses and yogurt. I look forward to finding a nice Lamb or goat recipe.<BR/>TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-914911515031360242008-06-05T10:00:00.000+03:002008-06-05T10:00:00.000+03:00try meshta el-helou, where my family comes from. i...try meshta el-helou, where my family comes from. it has now become a very popular summer resort and there must be good restaurants there. also, there are women making tannur bread on the road leading up to meshta el-helou from Apamea, if i remember correctly. but the best rural food is in people's homes. i remember a trip to doura europos when my mother and i stopped at a house where women were baking tannur bread. they very kindly invited us to join them for lunch. it was so lovely to sit with the women, talk about marriage and children (not that i have any) and just enjoy the simple, yet delicious food. you may be just as lucky on your travels and find such a family to share a meal with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4163876234969175446.post-17216949513178779642008-06-04T18:08:00.000+03:002008-06-04T18:08:00.000+03:00What a great feeling in your words about Syrian fo...What a great feeling in your words about Syrian food. I guess I will now have to try some. But, I will pick the right time and place and try to make it as memorable as it is authentic. I think I will try the country version first. I guess a trip to the Syrian countryside just made it's way onto my travel list. Suggestions?<BR/>TerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
