Coping

One aspect of Lebanon I am enjoying is the food - particularly the abundance of man'ooshi stands. Man'ooshi is a flat piece of bread with either cheese or zaa'tar (thyme) and any combination of vegetables.  I take mine with tomatoes, labne (dehydrated yogurt) and fresh mint leaves.  They are made on a concave heated surface known as a 'sage.' The best part is that they are cheap - around 1500 Lebanese lire ($1) each, so I eat plenty of them. Here is the gent making me my breakfast on my way to class in the morning.
