I’ve requested from a friend of mine to get me a bottle of Arak from his uncle who apparently is known for his good Arak some time before Christmas. I was very excited about trying it out but then i got sick and could not drink alcohol for weeks and got busy and all. Finally i was able to taste his Arak tonight while having dinner and i must say the taste was strong but it felt relatively light and did not bother me at all.
I have my Arak along with a Labneh plate, Fteele (raw meat) and fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, quasi-typical Lebanese dinner.
raw meat???? :S
Let’s call it Sushi ya haissam
Thanks for keeping us posted regarding your dietary habits.
mich ghalat 😉
Am I old school – or isn’t it a treat anymore to have raw liver with Arak in the morning??
Najib,
Are those “Sushi” coming from the same cows mentioned in your previous post?
eh Sahteiiin..
LebExile,
It is still a treat but there’s no harm to have it at night too. I am not a big fan of raw meat but when there’s Arak, you can’t not have it.
Z,
It’s on hold for now.
