Palestinian National Authority Food and Drink
You know whereThe Palestinians boast a surprising amount of variety in their cuisine, given their country’s small size. In the Galilee area, a closeness with Lebanese cuisine predominates, with stodgy meat dishes and plenty of the bulgur cereal.
In the West Bank, there are lots of meat, rice and vegetable dishes involving taboon, a regional flatbread cooked in a special tubular oven. In Gaza, there's a taste for fresh seafood fished out of the Mediterranean, as well as an abundance of chillies and spices.
Throughout the territories, skewered meat, shish kebab, hummus and baba ghanoush are popular. You'll also find subtle influences from the immigrants who have settled over the centuries, with French, Italian and Balkan touches appearing in restaurants. Typical Palestinian main courses are meat heavy and generously sized.
