| There was the usual selection of hummus and baba ganoush, a chunky butter bean and feta cheese mash, tangy labneh, and olives and fresh bread. |
| Cheeses include, at the very least, cottage cheese, quark or fromage blanc, and a local variety of gouda, and often Tzfatit and labneh too. |
| Find labneh at Middle Eastern markets, Aleppo pepper in some stores' spice aisles, and Aleppo and Urfa biber at worldspice. |
| Finally, we decided on taboulah, hummus, labneh and fatoush as cold starters, and for the hot mezzes we ordered kebbeh, roqaqat, Lebanese sausage and spinach pies. |
