JORDAN-CULTURE-FOOD-TRADITION-MANSAF

Jordanian writer and researcher Hasan Mubaideen speaks during an interview about "Mansaf" (lamb cooked in dried yogurt and served with rice and nuts) and other traditional Jordanian dishes at a restaurant in Amman on March 16, 2023. - The kingdom's national "Mansaf" dish was in late 2022 inscribed on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage, highlighting the "deep sense of identity and social cohesion" it evokes. Thousands of years before it became a symbol of peace -- traditionally shared to mark the end of tribal feuds -- mansaf was born on the eve of battle.
