Trip to Lattakia
I just got back from a two day trip to Lattakia with my fiancee to visit some of my relatives. The highlights of the trip were the following:
1- I got to see my relatives in general outside the معمعة of the wedding.
2- I saw my cousin Hanna who I haven't seen for 9 years or so, and currently he is abroad.
3- Swimming in the Cote d'Azur resort. The sea is nicer than anything my memory can help me with regarding this specific location. I got extremely tired after that.
4- Saw some old friends
5- And most importantly, my aunt cooks to point of literally eating your fingers after lunch. All my favorite foods are readily prepared and extremely delicious. Moghrabiyeh, Dobbo, Roasted fish, Kibbeh Mseileeka, and many others (drooling)

Hello! Since I am a food lover, I was intrigued by these two dishes I don't know from before: dobbo and Kibbe Mseileeka. Can you give me a short explanation of what they are like? وشلون بتنتكتب الاسماء بالعربي؟ المسيليكة؟ والله انا مو سامع فيها ابدا !ـ
سامبسا من فنلندا
Dobbo دوبّو: is a dish made of potato and meat big chunks (in this case wild pig meat) in its broth, in addition to some flavoring and it is eaten with فريكة
kibbeh mseilika كبة مسيليقة: is a vegetarian dish, made of no meat kibbe filled with chard سلق and covered with some spicy red pepper paste. very delicious.
Both are home made and I am pretty sure it will be very hard to get them in a restaurant.
By the way, do you have any syrian or arabic origins, or you just travel here and learn the language? Just curious :)
WOW, thanks for the explanations. I didn't even know you guys had wild boar in Syria! And kibbi mseilika sounds lovely, especially because I don't eat that much meat. I really hop I'll get to taste them one day!!!
No, I don't have any Syrian or Arabic genes, but I have travelled quite a lot in the Middle East. I studied Arabic in Kuwait, and now I sometimes work as an Arabic translator. I visit Syria as often as possible; if I manage to muster enough money, I might be coming there in the autumn. Ya rit!
