entry description
My Middle Eastern Food images are intended to tell people all over the world something about the culture of a region, on which the attention of the world seems focused. The people of the Middle East, which include the Arab world, Israel, Turkey and Iran, might have different religious, ethnic and language backgrounds, but, in spite of that, the traditional foods of their various communities do have much in common. For instance, in the Middle East olives are known as the “sultan of the table” and are highly valued by the all the three Abrahamic faiths, namely, Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These shared traditional foods of the people of the Middle East may make these people closer to each other.back to gallery
