Endless IRAQI STREET FOOD for Breakfast in Mosul, Iraq!

With a new day in Mosul, Iraq dawning, I set out to explore the Nabi Yunus Bazaar and have some breakfast.

QEEMA: Our first dish was qeema, a rich chickpea stew with a bit of beef bone marrow containing curry powder, cumin, za’atar, garlic powder, and pomegrate syrup. It’s served with samoon bread and is extremely flavorful!

MAKHLAMA: Next was a mix of beef and intestines with tomatoes and eggs, served with samoon bread. On the side, the vendors gave us falafel, fried eggplant, pickles, olives, fried potatoes, and Arabic coffee.

FALAFEL: The falafels were very soft in the middle, almost like they weren’t completely done, but I loved them that way!

KNAFEH: A delicious Middle Eastern sweet that has a delicious, crispy crust and a sweet, cheesy, creamy filling.

AL-NOURI MOSQUE: A 12th-century mosque that was a symbol of Mosul until ISIS came in and destroyed it. The United Arab Emirates is funding the UNESCO project to restore the mosque to its former glory.

Look how kind and generous those people are..despite all the wars they have faced ..country with civilization will never die

The conflict between Iraq and major western powers was within my lifetime and probably within the lifetime of most of these people and still relatively fresh in their minds. And yet their warm and friendly smiles, their willingness to share and open their doors- much to learn from these resilient bunch and to reflect. David your videos are exemplary as always.

As I stated in the previous Video's comment, it is an amazing thing what you've been doing David. Sharing and showing the world how the people are and what they've been through. Mosul is one of four cities in my list to visit. The food, the history and people's kindness are obvious. Great Content.

Great looking food David. Happy Holidays to you, family, friends and subscribers. Love in the house from Trinidad.

In the western world, we have been brainwashed about people in this region of the world because of conflicts out of control of the casual population. It took years for society to change a bit locally with immigration in my area for people to get to know west asians and arabs (people use to put everyone in the same box) and I’m so happy to see these videos that confirm my interactions with people of eastern cultures. I would love to visit one day.
