Trying All MIDDLE EASTERN/ARAB Food Items at TRADER JOES! What to Buy & Avoid

[@Fatima-qu3ml]

This video is from 2 years ago but I would love more video content like this instead of just shorts and recipes maybe trying Middle Eastern food from different shops or restaurants or even like countries and actual videos ❤

[@momodias1997]

As someone who is often tempted by Trader Joe’s, I really appreciate these honest reviews!!

[@justina8783]

This was a fun video to watch! Thanks for posting , and I would love to see you post a gyro recipe !

[@Moribyan]

Ahh thank you for watching! Means the world 🥺 definitely going to post that soon!

[@Yazzy204]

I love the shakshuka and like to have it on hand for a quick breakfast. I also bought the Knafeh this weekend because I've just had knafeh in the brain and my brain sis a dance when I saw it. I'm going to try it this weekend

[@lareinainchicago1197]

Shakshuka is so easy to make I don’t know if I cld bring myself to purchase at TJ’s lol 😂 or frozen from anywhere

[@saralodhi5459]

you're so right! the messier the shawarma, the better!

[@esthelacarvajal4530]

Thank you for the Za’atar tip! I liked the flavor of the TJs one but even using a ton felt like it was lacking some depth... I think TJs snacks and food are good for when you don’t want to cook but want some of the flavor! All of the Mexican/Latin food deff doesn’t come close to what I can make, and neither do their Indian items, BUT I always keep some on hand for those days I have 15 minutes for lunch or it’s been a long day 🤣

[@forratedrstuff]

You have an engaging personality! You should make more such videos that are beyond recipes, like more get to know me types. Or maybe Trader Joe’s seasonal items review as well

[@jasmineparry9494]

Can you do a video on things to try from Trader Joe’s?

[@Moribyan]

Love this idea!! Definitely have to do it 🤍

[@imadmatar6941]

OMG I cannot thank you enough for doing that or even thinking about doing that As a Lebanese myself where we take so much pride in our food I get offended every time I go to Trader Joe's and I see that tabouli or kibbe the two main national dishes of Lebanon the tabouli didn't even care to try it because it looks anything but tabouli it looks like more of a barley salad The only thing I give trader joe's a credit for is their garlic paste the toum

[@catecruz5367]

Yes please to the gyro recipe please and thank you!

[@naheedmoorad4560]

Love to watch uour videos girl. You and your recipies both are a treat. Thank you

[@kckillakrack9714]

War'a dawali to me ias always done in tomatoe sauce and ,warm. I keep a pot of that, malfoof, and tabouli stay in my house weekly lol. Maqluba and shwarma to spoil myself. All store bought food has to much In it. I came here from palestine when I was 4. I love arab food to much to buy it. Great video though its nice that arab food is becoming popular in stores

[@rachael4512]

I'm just surprised to see these items in a regular US store (rather than a middle eastern store) you wouldn't find almost any of them in a UK supermarket but looks like it's probably best left to the middle eastern stores and restaurants anyway.

[@mariz6631]

We have the first one in the uk

[@rachael4512]

@@mariz6631 Yes, you can find dolma and falafel but kibbeh, shawarma, tabbouleh, börek etc you wouldn't find. Fortunately I live in an area with a lot of Turkish/international supermarkets so I can either find these things or the ingredients to make them 🙂.

[@rholloway717]

Games ! What happen to the harissa ?

[@angieochoa6522]

Love your channel!

[@LaBucci]

Trader Joe’s is just my favorite place! I love their worldwide selection of food items

[@Nerderator]

Have you tried making tabouli with pomegranate molasses? Like WOW even in fattoush, my MIL does it with lots of salads and it’s actually my addiction

[@Moribyan]

Haven’t had tabouli with Pom molasses YET but I always put it in my fattoush and you’re right, it’s amazing!!

[@rachael4512]

Is it not usually made with pomegranate molasses? The Turkish version (kısır) is always made with molasses.

[@Nerderator]

@@rachael4512 to be honest I’m not sure but the pomegranate molasses is *chefs kiss*

[@Nerderator]

Why is the knafeh like that 🤣 I prefer the ashta version too!

[@amnawarsi4304]

I love their kanafe!!😱

[@MiraKlein]

The kenafa reaction kills me haha. The best Kenafa I've ever had is Nabulsi Kenafa in Palestine.

[@kausarkhan6743]

Is Trader Joe’s stuff halal

[@thinkingoutloudpoetry]

You gotta make a video for your mothers recipe for spanakopita with cream cheese. 🙏🙏

[@MakeupGenie21]

If you bake the kunefe less, it tastes better. I like it a lot lol.

[@anidencheva6584]

Hiii , please make more videos in KZbin , your Tik Tok has so muchhh videosss

[@waqzh6128]

Best thing to do avoid any bought store items it has to be fresh made and authentic taste

[@katalinitoscano6150]

So glad I found your channel I love Middle East food! My favorite dessert is kanafeh could you post your recipe on your channel pls! Do you have any Middle East recipes posted?

[@NoraOmar-f2t]

Did you mention Libya!! Or I just imagine 😅

[@LaibaBarg]

Are the chicken items halal??

[@mercedesparra2509]

You forgot to review TJ Harissa which they carry.

[@dinaskouzina]

You better return that Zataar and get your $2 back 😂😂😂 also the kibbeh is so nasty. I’m surprised you liked the shakshouka But you’re right so much easier to make these things at home

[@Moribyan]

Hahaha on my way back to TJ! I liked the shakshouka for it being microwaved sauce and eggs but otherwise hated it haha

[@maxinemuhammad5979]

Love 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿🫶🏿💯💯💯💯🎁😍😍❤️❤️❤️

[@ayca_2000]

Can you make stuffed grape leaves for me

[@farah_nm162]

That spinach cheese thingee is very much like the samosa!! Triangle shaped and stuffed...I get such things in the frozen isle too in the fancy grocery store.

[@markspagel4228]

MashAllah 💚

[@ChrisBartleyLeo]

The round spanakopita is so much better and it's made in Greece.

[@mariagillinson8527]

Trader Joes need to sponsor your videos or consult with you…

[@sanasamir7129]

Is it just me or she resembles Camila Cabello?

[@thequantum-plator]

She kinda does

[@machinegunkimmy]

I like the kunafe…. Lol the rest… nah… zaatar is overpriced and prob old and not fresh

[@ekajnaabi22]

But is it halal though?

[@LaibaBarg]

I have the same question!!

[@instrider]

👌🏻👌🏻❤️❤️

[@GBraidi78]

As a Lebanese, the Tabouli looked weird and the Chicken Shawerma. Not edible at all!

[@username25256]

Lip fillers?

[@j.miguel6193]

you are talented and beautiful, what more does a man want ;)

[@MuhammadAli-ev5jc]

bruh are these even halal

[@Asif_Mustafa]

You are so beautiful🌹...

[@shasmeenismail19]

Early

[@Moribyan]

Hiii!! 🤍🤍

[@shasmeenismail19]

omg hi I love your videos!

[@maik1690]

why are you wearing hijab when you can still see your hair? What's the point?

[@gateway2hell]

because it’s a cultural symbol as well, not everyone wears it for religion exactly. stfu

[@Bigred338]

Non of your business

[@naheedmoorad4560]

How if you can't praise you surely will criticise. Jealousy people.

[@overfiend5334]

What do you expect about the dolmas having mushy rice??? It’s been sitting inside an aluminum can for who knows how long. Of course, it’s not fresh. No canned food is fresh. I don’t know why people complain about canned food. You won’t be complaining if it’s the end of the world and you’re forced to eat canned food. Don’t review food if you’re too high class for canned goods and premade stuff. Just appreciate the face that you have food compared to the millions of starving men, women and children in Pálestíne and any third world countries. Next time you complain about food, just think about the babies and children in Gázá.
