Yes, Souhair, but cookbook authors such as Paula Wolfert and Claudia Roden
attempt to make this clear to their readers. Roden was born in Cairo and
Wolfert, has spent years traveling in the Mediterranean and Middle East,
visiting village and city women, to learn about the dishes. For American
readers, she translates recipes and ingredients into words they can
understand, and has even caused stores to carry those ingredients.

And she agrees with you on the cooking of Aleppo, she loves it.

Some of her traveling has been done under the auspices of the Oldways
Preservation & Exchange Trust (http://www.oldwayspt.org/html/meet.htm <A
HREF="http://www.oldwayspt.org/html/meet.htm">Click here: Meet Oldways</A> ),
an international food-issues think tank, which attempts to fend off the
inexorable globalization of fast food.

You will never eat Syrian food in New York (or Paris or London or Melbourne),
but Syrian-style food, even when prepared by a grandmother who just flew in
from Aleppo with some of the ingredients 3 hours ago. The other ingredients
and water are different. There is what the French call "gout de terroir," the
taste of the land, which makes produce from one village taste different from
that of another, let alone continents.

All any of can do when attempting to recreate a dish is attempt. But that
doesn't keep us from trying.

And I hope you try that cookbook translation. We need more translations from
Arabic.

By the way, Wolfert says of za'atar blends, "The taste of a za'atar mixture
can be herbal, nutty, or toasty. In the Middle East there are shops where
za'atar mix is the only item sold. There are secret blends, some of which are
quite wonderful. I purchased one in Aleppo but was never able to duplicate
it; you can buy blends in most Middle Eastern markets.

'Israeli' is a pale green blend of pungent herbs that includes the biblical
hyssop, along with toasted sesame seeds and sumac. The 'Syrian' blend, the
color of sand, has a decidedly toasty flavor. The 'Jordanian' blend is dark
green and very herbal, with some turmeric. All three blends can be purchased
by mail order."

Can you enlighten us as to what is in the Syrian blend you like best?

All best, Kaye

<pre>hello,


Syrian Arab News Agency said the Syrian production of olive increased
from 117 thousand tons at 1971 to 650 thousand tons at 1996, at the
same period, the Syrian production of olive oil increased from 19
thousand tons (1971) to 125 thousand tons.
The Syrian population stood at 16,673,282 (July 1998 est.)
Each Syrian consumes around 8 liters of olive oil per year.

The European Union (EU) is, by far, the largest olive oil producer and
consumer in the world. Olive oil consumption in the EU in 1996/97 stood
at 1 620 000 tonnes, out of a world figure of some 2 320 000 tonnes.

The producer Member States are, in decreasing order of importance,
Spain, Italy, Greece, Portugal and France. In 1995, the area under
olive groves in the EU was almost 4.5 million hectares, of which 50%
were in Spain and 25% in Italy.

Olive cultivation, which is widespread throughout the Mediterranean
region, is important both to the rural economy and to the environmental
balance of the producing regions. The EU has approximately 2 240 000
producers, including 850 000 in Italy, 780 000 in Greece and 500 000 in
Spain. Portugal and France, as smaller producers, have 90 000 and 20
000 respectively.

World production in 1996/97 is expected to total some 2.8 million
tonnes with 70% of this being of Community origin. The remainder comes
chiefly from Tunisia, Turkey, Syria and Morocco whose combined output
is around 730 000 tonnes. Community production is at the forefront,
therefore, of the fluctuating world olive oil market.

The fact that the EU is self-sufficient in olive oil, however, does not
mean that it does not engage in trade. Imports in 1996/97 stood at
around 150 000 tonnes while exports were 250 000 tonnes. The other
major exporters are Tunisia (115 000 tonnes), Turkey (40 000 tonnes)
and Morocco (35 000 tonnes) while the main importers include the United
States (140 000 tonnes), Japan (26 000 tonnes) and Canada (19 000
tonnes).

The question are :
Why the olive oil consumption is decreasing in Syria ?
Price , competition from other oils ,
Is Syria able to export its olive oil or olives ?

Regards

souhair

| From: "Phil Brambly" <bramleyp@one.net.au>
|
| All this talk about 'Arabic' food makes me want to hop on a plane
| back to Damascus.
|
| The traditional 'mezze, served throughout Lebanon, Syria and many
| other Arabic countries, precedes a main course of mainly meat (
| kebabs),chicken(grilled and basted with olive oil), fish (grilled
| with olive oil). The'mezze is so sumptuous and varied that we
| generally could not make it to the main dish. Ark (Ouzo, Pastis) or
| beer is served with the 'mezze,if required.

I will add that Arabic or Mediterranean food does not exist . The
differences between Syrian/Lebanese , Egyptian, Greek, Turkish are
important ; with French , Italian , Maghreb (Moroccan, Algerian,
Tunisian, Israeli ) , they are huge.
Let say that the Syrian/Lebanese cooking is by itself a cooking that
present variety from one town to other nearly the same way French
cooking does. I favour the Aleppo ( Syria's north ) for some of its
very subtle recipes.
Tea is also served with the meal.
As always, "standardised" food in restaurant differs from home cooking
.( refer to the fancy French chef recipes ) .
I found that local restaurants in Syria are bending the recipes to suit
the supposed 'Mac Do' taste of their guests. ( Syrian children are
also affected by TV ).

| For inspiration try Claudia Roden's "A new book of Middle Eastern
Food'.Penguin,

Unfortunately , the correct books are only in arabic for the usage of
the local readers. May be good translation in english is overdue.(
Unfortunately , my english is not good enough . )

| go out to the nearest Arabic restaurant in your neighbourhood for a
taste sensation.

It will be only a small sample of the syrian/lebanese cooking .

Sincerely,
Souhair
