I’ve often said if you want peace in the Middle East, send them COOKBOOKS.
After suffering through several Ramadan “feasts” as an invited guest of Muslim neighbors, I suddenly understood the hostility & crazy.
It all boils down to the food, if you could call it that.
(The last dinner was so bad, everyone migrated to my house for Chinese take-out, including my Muslim hosts)
I recall dining at a Lebanese restaurant up in Boston in the mid-90s... and it was AMAZING.
