What a delicious read! My son’s girlfriend is Armenian & her dad grew up in Beirut. She comes to Rome for visits with a suitcase full of Sujak & sumac (I love fatoush) & the best dried apricots in the land!

Joshua, I always love your newsletters, but I think this might be my favourite-ever edition! I LOVED reading about the monumental amounts of food you ate, the eternal debates it set off about which truly are the best versions of the best shawarma or salad (Team Tabbouleh, all the way) and also how vividly you remembered this trip to Lebanon. I hope we're lucky enough to get a recap of your next one!
