Shish Kebabs Meat Platter in Jordan!

Get more Amman travel tips, things to do, where to stay, and delicious food here: migrationology.com/travel-guid...
On Day 4 of our trip to Jordan, we started off in Amman where we had a wonderful simple and local style breakfast of manakish, which are rounds of dough which are flattened, topped with simple things like zaatar and cheese, and baked in an oven. We then took a day trip to As-Salt or also just known as Salt, a historical city about a 45 minute drive from the center of Amman. The highlight of the day for me was the giant shish kebab meat platter that we ate for lunch!
00:38 Manakish - Manakish is something you’ll eat a lot of when you visit the Levant and in Jordan it’s a very popular snack and meal. Manakish is a piece of rounded dough which is flattened out and topped in a variety of different things. We ordered a manakish topped with zaatar, a special herb thyme blend, and also a couple topped with Jordanian white cheese, which is similar to halloumi cheese. They were all excellent mainly because they were baked so fresh and just used simple but delicious ingredients. Price - 1 JD ($1.41) each
04:20 Day to to As-Salt, Historic Old Salt Museum - 1 JD ($1.41) - Out main activity of the day was taking a short day trip to Salt, an ancient and historical city that was one of the commercial and trade centers of Jordan. We started off at the Historic Salt Museum, where we had a tour and learned a little bit about the importance of the city and how it influenced and shaped Jordan. We then took a stroll through Hamam street, the center old market street in Salt.
07:27 Al-Salam Restaurant - For lunch we went to a Jordanian meat bbq restaurant in the center of Salt called Al-Salam Restaurant. The first dish I tasted was the hummus ma lahma, a plate of hummus topped with minced meat fried in lard - it took hummus to the next level - it was absolutely incredible. Then came galayet with meat, a thick tomato based dish with minced meat in it as well. It was delicious with bread. From there, this Jordanian meal just got better and better. Arayes is a dish of bread stuffed with minced lamb and seasoning, then grilled over charcoal. The fat from the lamb makes the bread nearly taste like it’s deep fried because it gets so crispy, yet it’s merely grilled - and it was insanely delicious. But the ultimate winner of our Jordanian meat feast this time was the platter of shish kebabs and lamb pieces. The minced meat was mixed with parsley and seasoning, salted quite heavily, then grilled over hot charcoal. The mix and ratio of meat to fat ensured that the meat had an incredibly pronounced smoky taste. Total price - 25 JD ($35.26) for 4
14:01 Anabtawi Sweets - For dessert we took a walk down the road to a famous Jordanian sweets shop called Anabtawi Sweets, where Fadi ordered a mix of different desserts including hareeseh, one of the famous desserts, cream fingers, and warbat. They were all very sweet, but alright in small portions - I’m not a huge desserts lover. My favorite dessert was probably the warbat, it was kind of a cross between a cheese cake and baklava. What I really enjoyed about eating this dessert is the Arabic coffee that went with it. After having this cup of Arabic coffee, I was immediately hooked.
17:26 Thyme & More - Although it was unplanned at first, we decided to stop by a place called Thyme & More to taste some different and unique varieties of za’atar, a thyme and herb blend that’s very common in Jordan, and something I really loved eating. We tasted some incredible za’atar, and then the owner kindly invited us to have dinner at his restaurant where he served us some pizza and a giant calzone.

I really love the look on the owners faces when Mark tries all of their delicious foods. They really enjoy watching someone love their food so much. Even his friends seems super proud to be sharing some of his favourite foods and places to eat with him. It really is my favourite part of each video. :)

[@williamrcoffey5358]

Mark, have you ever gotten sick from the variety of unusual foods you eat.?

[@kobzster06]

The Jordan series is probably Mark's best piece of work so far. He was specifically invited by the Jordan Tourism board, and he did a wonderful job in conveying the delicious foods that Jordan has to offer. I'd love to visit Jordan just for the food alone featured on these videos, so mouthwatering.

[@noonehnoonza1434]

Jodie Brook I live in this shithole, trust me, you would think it's a good country, stay here for more than a month and go to school here, you'll see what Jordan is really like

[@leenananzeh]

@@luay2805 not everyone's lives are like yours, don't talk in general. Look at the bright side of the things and remember, life's a journey and a story, a story without no hardships or at least little ones is a boring one, I get happy whenever I cross a hardship, it'll make my story more exciting, you know give it its special charm! Think of your story from 3rd petson prespictive, or a novel or a story of life, it doesn't HAVE to be like movies, but it has it's own little charm. Peace from Jordan!

yaassss

[@rimaayoubi3987]

Zaatar is actually Thyme,not a mix of herbs,we add baked sesame seeds to it,but the word Zaatar alone means Thyme,

[@maleknuserat2332]

It have summaq, so that makes it herbs I guess

[@user-xw6nv6co9i]

Zaatar is oregano with toasted sesame

[@ronen124]

what is called zaatar is the hyssop herb (just checked it again to be sure)

[@muayyadalsadi]

Although Zaatar is Arbic for Thyme, the Zatar powder sold is acrually a mix, sometimes called Duggah, it includes summaq, sesame, oregano, and maybe roasted checkbeans

[@ChenShaham]

Isnt zatar wild oregano? I'm getting confused here.. The herb I call in hebrew Timin which i thought was thyme is different than the herb I call zatar or ezov which is wild oregano

No way you have better Turkish coffee than in Turkey and also your food looks good but not as good as and as rich as the Turkish cuisine Jordan was one of the Ottoman Empire province so most of your food is a small part of the rich Turkish cuisine
