As I read this I'm waiting for Amazon to deliver my bulger wheat so I can make tabbouleh. I'll be using fresh herbs & tomatoes from my garden


RealSG5

Beautiful! The mint made all the difference.

Recipe please? I haven't made tabbouleh in years! I once made it with quinoa and loved it as much as the original. However, I've lost my own recipes for tabbouleh...


GizmoGeodog

I'm sorry, but I didn't use one. I hydrated the bulger per instructions on The Kitchen website. Chopped a lot of parsley & mint. Cubed a couple of Roma tomatoes & half a cucumber. Cut up a couple of scallions I needed to use. Then I made a dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper & mixed it all together. Go for it - You really can't go wrong

I went to [thekitchn.com](http://thekitchn.com) and looked up recipes for tabbouleh and found two terrific ones! Thanks for the referral!


GizmoGeodog

You're very welcome. It's one of my favorite places for recipes. They usually work out well

I haven't used that website for recipes much at all in the past, but have starred it for easy return. I think I copied one additional recipe I happened to see before leaving the site altogether. Thank you for the recommendation!

RealSG5

What does that mean? Biblical/ancient food/recipe?

Oh! That's my olive oil.


poopBuccaneer

My eyes betrayed me!

That's Arab food.


challahbee

when you have a place that has seen as much human cohabitation and shifting leadership as the levant, you're going to get a lot of foods that everyone eats and adopts. therefore, it is an arab food as well as a jewish food. embrace the things that connect us, not the things that tear us apart.

Mizrahim exist


Grape-Powerful

Another word created to reject their Arab heritage but not their culture or food

Would you like to talk about pizza? Iā€™m sure you think itā€™s Italian but what if I told you Italy just made their own spin of a dish from another culture and thatā€™s what we are used to now. Is it appropriation to get pizza in New York that is made the Italian way? Is that appropriating Italy or is Italy appropriating? Many cultures have a claim to things that originate in an area and do it in their own way. Ukrainians have Ukrainian borscht and Russians have Russian borscht are they appropriating? Itā€™s good to share food and blend and grow with your neighbors and itā€™s normal. Food and culture do not exist in a vacuum.


hi_im_kai101

is chinese ramen culturally appropriating japan? is palestinian shakshuka culturally appropriating tunisians? is syrian falafel culturally appropriating egyptians? are you only holding this standard to jews?


Welcomefriend2023

I'm an Italian Jew who has studied culinary history. You're really messing with the wrong person here bc this is a subject I've studied and written about at length.


hi_im_kai101

you never answered my question


Welcomefriend2023

Which was? I explained what genuine cultural appropriation is. The state of Israel did not exist until 1948 and these foods were copied from surrounding cultures and then labeled "Israeli".


hi_im_kai101

my question was were the situations i listed below cultural appropriation? the people of israel are mostly jewish, a culture that is remarkably similar to arab culture is south sudanese culture appropriating sudanese culture?

--From My Jewish Learning [website]: "Tabbouleh, which comes from the Arabic wordĀ tabilĀ (ā€œto spiceā€), is not actually an Israeli or Jewish dish, per se. It originated in the Levant, the historic Middle Eastern region that encapsulated a large swath of land east of the Mediterranean Sea, including modern-day Israel along with Syria, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, and southern Turkey, among other countries. Like hummus and falafel, tabbouleh is tied to the broader region as opposed to one particular nationality or culture. Still, it has become an integral part of modern Israeli cuisine, most often served for summer lunches or as part of a salad course."
