Welcome to Coming Home, a series that explores the relationship between home and food. This week, we spoke with Marouf from Beirut.
“The longest I’ve traveled outside of Lebanon is ten days. So when I come back when I come back I’m usually not craving anything.
“But if I do go and I do crave stuff it’s always a manouche because my brain – it’s like Lebanese food: manouche, let’s go for it!
“[When I come back, the first thing I eat is] whatever food we’ve cooked at home. Which typically is like mujaddara (lentils and rice), or riz a djej (chicken and rice), or like the simple yakhnes (stews), like the stuff that doesn’t involve a lot of cooking.”
