    cooking notes: 1-the jameed should have been rinsed off once or twice before soaking because after the process of dehydration it is usually coated in a layer of salt for extra preservation.
    2-jamie was right. the rice nowadays replaces the original flat bread which was made on a hot plate and usually torn into bite-sized pieces then after being soaked in the sauce and mixed with the meat, made into small balls and thrown into the mouth so as not to cross contaminate the fingers with saliva because this is a sharing dish and is eaten by hand, a tradition that is still kept alive today.
    3-the jameed sauce is prone to splitting thus the cornstarch. it is usually blended or more traditionally minced by hand in the cold water after soaking and then boiled.
    4- the rice is only spiced with turmeric and ghee since jordanian ghee is usually already spiced with fenugreek, turmeric and maybe some other spices in smaller quantities.
    5-cooked onion does not belong in the mansaf rice. it is kept raw and eaten at the side like a salad, so when one takes a mouthful of mansaf they usually take a bite of raw onion with it.
    6- the almond or any other nuts provided are strictly for garnish. they are toasted or fried in ghee then kept on top of the rice to stay crispy
    7- traditional jameed sauce doesn't include raw yoghurt but it is added these days to make the process easier
    8- the bread is usually just added to the bottom of the rice pile and used to soak up the sauce and to be added to the individual rice balls
    9- i've never heard of anyone using lime or any kind of citrus with mansaf
    10- the meat is usually kept in bigger chunks on the bone and the addition of the bone makes the broth much richer. it is boiled for a long while until the meat is literally falling off the bone and easy to tear off with fingers and added to the rice ball

      IMO its pat of the algorithm that helps boost visibility.

    My wife (who is Palestinian) makes this for me a lot, but a different version. There are lots of ways to make it, and you can find different styles of it even in nearby towns. The style my wife makes NEVER has the yogurt sauce but has a lemon garlic sauce and uses chicken and beef instead of lamb. She also puts shraq (a very thin flat bread) in with the rice, which absorbs the sauce and is delicious.

Most people around the world eat with their hands and if you know the etiquette around it it's not more or less hygienic than eating with cutlery. I've seen people licking their knives while eating, I believe that's against etiquette as well. When we eat with our right hand (if you are right-handed) the only thing that goes into our mouths is the food, not the fingers. So there is no saliva being mixed into the shared food on the plate. Only after one has finished the meal, the fingers are cleaned.

    I would like to see a deep dive into how different countries make what is essentially the same dish, what stays the same and what regional differences appear. Like here, the mansaf is very similar to pilau/pilaf/plov and even biryani and paella, but Jordan uses this dried yoghurt. Or dishes like shakshuka, menemen, huevos rancheros, strapatsada, uova al purgatorio etc.

      I would suggest that it was from the spread of Islam through Arabia, the Levant, Persia, North Africa and Turkey, as well as eastern europe.....which can be seen with Ottoman cuisine in the Levant, Armenia, Georgia, Greece and Turkey. The different caliphates that moved their centres from different parts of the world, ie Mecca, Petra, Damascus, Baghbad, Cairo, Istanbul etc spread ideas, science, food and ingredients.
      In regard to rice etc and many other spices, the Murghal empire has its roots in Persia and Islamic expansion. Also the main cross roads of the Spice and Indian trade routes went through the Islamic Empires, so many of the foods, spices, condiments etc were available in most of these countries.

      @@iainrendle7989 It's not just Islam, Jews had their hand at spreading it too. It made it all the way to the Caribbean and Southern America! And the regional versions are still variations of the same base dish but the results are quite different. It would be interesting to explore how geography affected the recipes.
      There are other dishes that spread wide too.

    Didnt know about the dried yoghurt. Probably because fresh is always available. Many areas also do kubbe in buttermilk. Here in yemen we just make a rue with butter and flour then boil the yoghurt, buttermilk mixture with rue leaves for flavour add smoked ghee on top then eat it with aseed. The dish you said was saudi and ate with honey

    Not a massive fan of washing meat either in the UK. Some Chinese recipes I have used before really call for it so if required I make sure I lower the chicken into a bowl already filled with water to reduce splashing as much as possible but then you really have to clean down the sink anyway just to be safe.

Especially how Ben uses logic and reasoning building upon his existing knowledge base to walk through the recipes. Even just simple things like, we dont need to pressure cook the lamb for 20 mins cuz we cut it into quite small pieces.
    I love this format. I keep thinking as yall get closer to O and Q, will yall still spin the wheel? I'm so glad yall are still continuing this series, and didnt just stop it half way through. Do you think we could get through all the letters this year or will this continue till 2025?

But I would love to see ya'll recreate pilau,from the swahili people along the kenyan coast, which is mostly eaten during special occasions. Another option is ugali, nyama choma(roasted meat) and kachumbari.

And knowing that you've tried way more variety of foods than I ever did, yet you had the same reaction, is both exciting and a reason to feel proud of the dish. Countries of the region always love to fight on who cooks meals better, but mansaf is the one everyone concedes to the jordanians hands down. Thank you for this
