I am lebanese and i follow this channel so i was ecstatic to find you making a video about lebanese food . Having said that, i have several comments about the video : 1- the first Kibbe dish doesnt look like the kibbe we do. It has a strange look. Plus we never serve kibbe with ketchup. 2- we never serve falafel with ketchup. Falafel is served with tahina sauce and eaten with lebanese bread. 3- it seems you cant find lebanese bread in Pakistan as the bread used for the shawarma is not the kind we use in Lebanon. As for the ingredient i couldnt tell if the sauce was the tahina sauce used in lebanon or other kind of sauces usually used in different countries that serves shawarma which makes the taste way different from the Lebanese shawarma. 4- hummus is Lebanese . Dont let anyone tell you otherwise. Its usually eaten with lebanese bread and not a spoon. 5-its weird to mention that we have a big community of skateboarders as i a lebanese never heard about this fact in all my life living in the country. Great channel. Keep up the good work!!!
They are slowly turning into Americans because of all the hamburgers they eat. They learned about ketchup that way and apparently like it as much as Americans (putting it on everything)😂 The bread they used is probably a matter of choice. They have many more flat breads than you have in Lebanon and pita bread is not that difficult to make yourself. Many of their breads are more or less equal to that. The earliest mention of hummus is Syrian by the Aleppine historian Ibn al-Adeem. So it's neither Lebanese nor Israeli in origin. So that's a fight you can lay to rest. The word does seem to have an Aramaic origin, which does make it semitic.
@@telebubba5527 Hummus is lebanese of origin even syrians acknowledge that but lebanon as a country is recent . In the past all this region was called “bilad al cham” or syria.
I’m surprised he recognized Libya 🇱🇾 but not Lebanon 😂 i would love to see their reaction to our traditional Libyan food 🇱🇾🇱🇾🇱🇾 reshta/ bazeen/ couscous / mbaten. Sending love from Libya 🇱🇾💓
@@farahhafez8482 I don't know where you get that information from, but it's completely untrue. The whole world is aware of Lebanon and in many countries there are even Lebanese communities who moved there in the early 20th century. So you need to change the source from where you get this rubbish from.
am Lebanese i enjoyed watching. we eat falafel with vegetables , tarator sauce and bread. also the hummus we eat it with bread. For the kibbe we don t eat it with ketchup i personally like it with yogurt. but am still happy they enjoyed.

I am Lebanese, and I adore their reactions 😂 however, why serving the dishes with ketchup and mayo? It makes me sad seeing a falafel dipped in ketchup 😢
Israel claims a lot of things that aren't theirs 😂, even the hummus. I haven't seen a video from here in a while, so it's very nice to see! But I see now I have some catching up to do! Will binge watch those now!
@@voidmstr this is about Israel stealing culture from Lebanon. But you can talk about what you want. It seems you're a little offended, based on your comments on videos of this channel. But if you want to be that way about mine, feel absolutely FREE, like Palestine will be. 🥰🍉😉
@@voidmstrWhat an odd comment 🤔 First of all, the original comment wasn't talking about Jewish people, but about israel. And secondly, I don't think anyone would claim that Islam invented chickpeas. Are you claiming that Judaism did? Or are you just being your usual argumentative self? 😂
What a great episode! They definately all picked up on the 'healthier' aspect of the Lebanese food. I really enjoy how Mama Mustafa describes his food. Please do another school update Reactistan~ I would love to see how it is progressing. Have a wonderful week, and thank you for sharing your world with us all.
Tabbouleh is my favorite Lebanese dish. My best friend is part Lebanese and her Mom used to make it. I also love Baba ghanoush, among the foods these gentlemen tried today. I like Lebanese food very much. ☺
shawarma is my favorite food of all time. Very happy to see the guys get to enjoy something so lovely. The fact that they unanimously liked it warms my heart :)
Served as a peace keeper in Lebanon in 1989. Got to love the country, the people and culture, espescially the food. More of this, please, as even Mama Mustafa enjoyed it....
I LOVE kibbeh! My grandfather used to make it from scratch and eat the raw meat as he was making it. When we lived in Iran for awhile he and my grandmother came to visit and he ended up shipping home a beautiful morter and pestle. My parents bought one also. I remember my mother soaking the cracked wheat and then seeing my father founding the soaked wheat into a paste and then pounding the meat into it. Mom would make up dozens of Kibbeh for frying and then also make a tray of baked Kibbeh. She would serve it with gallons of home made hummus, tabbouleh, fattoush, kaak and a nice maamoul for dessert.
Because Brazil received a lot of Lebanese immigrants, we have kibbeh as a Brazilian food too. You can eat quibe (as we call it in Brazil) in any bar or restaurant, and we even do it at home as normal daily food.
@@danisteffen-translations ahaha thank you for correcting me. i dont know how to spell them since i only hear them spoken by my brazilian family members.

@@LassisvulgarisMy guess is the chef made kibbeh, falafel, shwarma, hummus and bread. All new foods to him/her involving a lot of work and presented to the best of their ability, as maybe tahini is not readily available where they live. Yes more roti wold have been good but as one Lebanese commentator pointed out the shwarma bread is different to bread for hummus...... too much work. Chef did a grand job.
Lebanese food is delicious, Shwarma is the best,Falafel is made from chic peas, instead of wheat Hummus is made from chic peas too. Also I never knew they skateboard there , |I skated for 20 years, yes I broke many bones 😄
I am amazed to say that some of the best Lebanese food that I've ever had is right in Waterville, Maine. Not exactly what I would think of is the home for Lebanese cuisine. I feel like these guys are going to love it though! The spices and textures and things I would think are all very familiar
Kibbee and Falafel are served with Tahini sauce or yogurt, not ketchup 😮 Hummous is a dip served with bread, not meant to be eaten with a spoon - it's just too rich like that due to tahini (sesame butter) having so many fat calories you get full too fast 😅
I once made the mistake of going into a Lebanese restaurant because I saw the flag in the distance and thought it was Italian. Best mistake of my life. I had lunch there anyway and the food was fantastic.
You mean literally not figuratively, right? Aren't Palestinians just Jordanians, Egyptians, Lebanese, and Syrians who happened to move into that area? Arafat, he was born in Cairo, Eqypt, so he was Egyptian correct?
Kibbeh! Back in the late 90s, there was a (sadly) short-lived Egyptian restaurant in our college town. Being adventurous, my roomie and I went, and I ordered Kibbeh, not knowing what it was. And I LOVED it. I never found it again at a restaurant, so I ended up having to learn to make it myself. Not easy, but it certainly was what I remembered all those years ago.
Hello Ismail!!!! You have been hiding but we forgive you because you are found! I am surprised Mama didn’t like falafel! 😂 maybe it was too many rolled snacks! Love to all! Thank you for another lovely episode! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don't think I've ever seen Mama Mustafa enjoy food so much 😁. And I agree with him - absolutely love Lebanese food ❤ It was so lovely to see all the guys again. Thank you for the video 🌹
Nice to see the older guy smile and lighten up. He used to be almost defensive and never seemed to like the foods he tried and would take a tiny bite and push the plate away in the older videos but I guess he was being cautious with this all being so new to him. Now he is having some fun and what a nice smile.
My city (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) had a big influx of Lebanese immigrants during the Lebanese civil war, and they brought their delicious foods with them. I love all the food in this video, and now I'm hungry! Damn it. 😅
Lebanese food is good when you start mixing the flavours and toppings. A hummus by itself is nice. But with multiple toppings, and dipping bread, it becomes a really tasty meal.

The personalities of these men are wonderful.
Oooh, the Chef got DOWnN today in the kitchen!!! 🤩
Fantastic insights, loved the vid!
Very interesting in see them try hummus, one of my favorite foods! Of course, it's always interesting to watch them, no matter what they're trying!
YOU BUTCHERED EVERY DISH. Our lovely reactors deserve REAL lebanese food.
Hummus is Egyptian dish originally and Falafel is originally from Egypt made with fawa beans & later adopted by levent people using chickpeas

Lebanese food is one of the best cuisines in the world. It is also one of the easiest to get totally wrong...as is evident here.
Man with the white turban. He looks surreal, it's like he's a time traveler from the olden days. What a work of art ❤.
I am from Afghanistan and my husband is from Lebanon❤. I love Lebanese cuisine and his favorite dish is Qabuli Palu❤
eating hummus with a spoon is killing me from the inside, jokes aside, good video!!
That Shawarma is a Gyro. Shawarma should be thinner, thinner bread, tightly wrapped, no lettuce or tomato, just meat and pickles.
it's funny nobody else noticed that! Lavash and pita are most commonly used for shawarma!
great episode!!
Lebanese food is good when you start mixing the flavours and toppings. A hummus by itself is nice. But with multiple toppings, and dipping bread, it becomes a really tasty meal.
This was an entertaining watch, cuz I do enjoy Lebanese cuisine myself!
Can you make a react to Kurdish food video next?
That food looked so unauthentic. Who the hell made it Sally from cooking class?
They would probably cry if they had actual Lebanese food. But I am glad they liked whatever food that was. That was for sure not kibbeh
Was that shawarma on pita? If not, it should have been. Or Lavash.
as an Egyptian who has a lot of Lebanese friends this video crack me up 😂🤣
0:17 he mistaked Libya and Lebanon 🤣
Tell Ismael never be afraid to try, you could miss out on a wonderful thing 🤙🏼🏵️💚🌼
This is pretty much Levantine food in a nutshell
It's been years since I've had a spit take, but reading that Israel responded with a 4000kg hummus now there's water everywhere.
Mama Mustafa surprised me. I thought he wouldn't like the food!
My father is Lebanese - This is a wonderful video!
Why is everything served with ketchup and mayo? Why not garlic sauce. Hummus, sesame sauce?
I love them they are all such a. vibe
flafel made from beans is egyptian but those made from chickpeas are shami
ASTAGHFIRULLAH , I FEEL BAD FOR THE LEBANESE PEOPLE , MAY ALLAH GUIDE THEM .
I am Lebanese, and I DO eat kebbeh with ketchup. But it is not a traditional thing nor the norm. I may be the only one 😅
that's good to know. I am a Pakistani living in Beirut since more than a year now and am just in love with the food, culture, and people.
Why would they serve kibbeh with ketchup isn't a traditional food or do lebanese people eat it that way?
I know on playstation 1 long ago i had to collect 10? Shawramas? Great game.
I think Hummus is a kind of Food that everybody on this Planet would find delicious and can eat without a Problem.
Oh! You really need pita bread or naan with hummus.
Old times Lebanon news on radio
Sad news of civil war in Lebanon in those days
Mustafa must be young in those days
Best food I've ever had in my life was Lebanese - at a Lebanese restaurant in India - best restaurant ever 💓
I've lived in Lebanon my whole life and never knew about the skateboard thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Im from Lebanon and been skateboarding with my friends since we were 8
The Old man from which Country?
That Hummus needed pita bread
Mustafa coming in hot with keeping it real
A game that can be eaten, how interesting lol.
After that 10,000 Kg hummus there must have been a chickpea shortage in the whole country!😅
I love lebanese food so much, its delicious 🤤
I'm lebanese not like that we make kibbeh, first thing is to grind it in the machine until it is smooth, then it is shaped and stuffed with meat and onions
Hummus with no roti is a crime
Ketchup on food, is crime....
why did everything look wrong??
nothing beats lebanese food, lebanese people are the best . period
Firstly I’ve never seen kibbeh look like that, secondly it’s not mostly made in Ramadan. It’s eaten by Muslims and Christians all year round.
