Tajine is still a popular dish in the maghreb countries and especially in morocco

I thought cutlery was a european thing, my impression was almost all of us ate with a flatbread or with our hands

In the Middle Ages, I think the Middle East was the most developed civilization.
If Baghdad hadn't burned down, humans would have gone into space 200 years earlier.
I sometimes cook and eat Muslim food. I'm Japanese and not Muslim, so I eat pork.
In Islamic cuisine, chicken is more delicious than pork when using meat.
I feel like the seasoning is also probably combined with the meat and the climate.
In my country, the water is soft, so it probably tastes different from the food made in the Middle East.😊

Hey, Can you give the links to the cook books so we can purchase them?

Ah spices, the true rulers of history!

Side note, it's a good thing beef was frowned upon while chicken wasn't because thermodynamics. It takes like 25kg of feed to make 1kg of beef, meanwhile 3.3kg of feed make 1kg of chicken. And that's not even bringing in the land or water usage!

Edit: I misremembered the number, according to ourworldindata it's actually 25kg not 16kg and 3.3kg for chicken not 4kg. so beef is even worse than I remembered!
