    Blessings to you and your sister. This was a fantastic episode. I am drinking my coffee with cardamom and date syrup as I often do today, and wishing you the best.
    Maybe you should do a "What do you put in your coffee" episode?

    Something I am often wondering: in cultures where hospitality is showed through food and where food may be scarce, how does one gracefully "return" hospitality? I would love to know how to interact with that in a way that doesn't further impoverish someone in a gracious and respectful way.

    It's really a shame Palestinian food was not mentioned and all. There's a lot of Palestinians who ended up in Jordan as refugees and have definitely contributed to the food culture there

    I wonder why middle eastern rice dish portion is so HUGE like it's made for 10 people. It does make sense if it's actually for 10 people like the mansaf that Beryl eat but I've seen 1 person portion of any middle eastern rice here in my country and it's huge. It's like 3 person portion size.

    First thanks to you and your sister for your love and care for the world and all its people. Sharing what I know- Mensef is the dish of the bedouins. The people of Palestine, Lebanon, and Jordan use this a celebration dishes. And mukdus is all shared in the above countries, in Palestine we fill will roasted garlic. I have to say the Syrians are the French of the Arab world since the Ottomans used Damascus has one of their capitals.

    I am confused and possibly a little hurt

    I left a post yesterday praising your Jordan episode and also suggesting a native Nova Scotia blueberry dessert recipe called blueberry grunt.

    I was going to edit it; and it is gone.

    Was it removed? Why? Am I overlooking it? I scanned through the comments several times and do not see it. 🤔

    Note: I looked for it again and still cannot find it. I have to assume it was deleted which is strange because the comment came out of love & support, and interest in your channel.

    I have personal trauma & PTSD from being excluded; so my love for your channel is starting to sour.

    I forgive you. If it was not deleted then I apologize to you: but I cannot find it.

    Peace

    Amazing! Thanks so much for this video, it's so important to see how others live and bring up the challenges some of them are still living. Great to feature them explaining their culture through food.

    I love that you immersed yourself in the entire cutler, including eating with your hands at their dinner table, what would be considered inappropriate in America is celebrated in Jordan and I love it!! 🙂 <3

    Beryl you have such a blessed life ❤️

    Thanks for sharing. I was especially touched by the coffee experience. We are getting so far from the land. It's these types of daily habits that keep us connected. I absolutely LOVED the tent setup.

    Hello Beryl! This is a beautiful documentary and I particularly loved the joy the women had in cooking those dishes🥰.
    Is there a way to know what your next video will be? I'd love to send recipes from my part of the world, Nigeria but I don't know how to go about it and which recipes to send. I'd love if you can help! Much love❤

    Thank you, I love your content. Indeed, education is very important to improve the lives of refugees.
    Although we are not a war-torn nation, most schools here in Morocco do not even have the slightest equipment and facilities of what this charity-funded school for refugees does. Hopefully there will be an improvement in our education system in the future.

    I had most of these when i visited Jordan just before covid. They are so good, especially mensef! Mensef as a cool story since it exists as a nagging to israel since meat and dairy are mixed. I loved learning how to eat it with hand (yet so different from the indian way), and locals had fun teaching me and laughing at my attempts, all in good fun. LOVE JORDAN SO MUCH. So glad it was my last trip before lock down, i am still reliving it regularly through memory, i encourage everyone to visit there.

    Well done, Beryl! I didn't even know the 20th was Refugee Day and I am married to a refugee. He didn't know either! I can definitely see one of your future episodes tieing together food and displaced people. My MIL has spoiled me with her wonderful cooking for many years and there is nobody who can cook as good as she can, as far as I am concerned.
