The cuisine of
Lebanon is the epitome of the Mediterranean diet. It includes an abundance of
fruits,
vegetables, starches, fresh fish and seafood. The enduring tradition of
the Lebanese is starters;
Mezza also known as hors d'oeuvres. Traditionally, the
Lebanese food is served with Arak;
a clear licorice flavored liqueur made
locally from grapes. When ice water is added to the Arak,
the color turns into a
cloudy white concoction and the perfect addition to any Lebanese meal.
