"We've got a new local dairy (in such a small country, local also means national), that makes some of the best cheeses (and soy milk and soy puddings).

I also like to add some..."

This goes really well with Shoarma Spice Mix marinated chicken breast, Lebanese Rice With Sharia (Vermicelli) (Gluten Free), and a garlic sauce like, Garlic Mayonnaise (Aioli) without the cilantro and a little Balkan yogurt to lighten it up, along with, Middle Eastern Lebanese Fattoush Bread Salad, for a meal like the restaurants only..."

Good with Kuwaiti Curried Chicken (Quwarmah Ala Dajaj) or Saudi Fish Curry (Samak Quwarmah) among others.
