Although their tastes and flavors are different from your homegrown dishes, their presentation is almost similar to some of your dishes, like kebabs, which is similar to your barbecued meats threaded on skewers. They love meatballs, which are usually a combination of bread crumbs from stale white bread, egg, flour, spices, herbs, lamb meat or beef meat or a combination of both. They also love eggplants, which are soaked in salty water to remove the bitter taste before roasting or grilling and are stuffed with lamb or beef meat mixture. These are only samples of what you will discover as you go through this book. Keep on reading. Enjoy!
