Good morning, guys from our third day here in Bsharri. We are going to start
the day by getting some manoushe that we were recommended which is like one of
the best Lebanese breakfasts you can have.
Bonjour. Kifak [How are you?]
Hello. Merhaba
Oh, here it is. There is like thyme manoushe, cheese manoushe-- Oh, thyme that is my favorite for the morning.
There is Lahm Bi Ajeen. Lahm Bi Ajeen is so good.
Let's get two of them then. There is like thyme with vegetables.
Thyme with vegetables is like awesome. Alright let's get- let's get two and then
we'll split them up. Yallah. Yeah, yeah and then two- two coffees,
two please. Where do you want to sit? Anywhere
yeah. I think this is our first time having
manoushe together. Yeah, you ready for it, bro? Yeah, you'll love it.
Yeah. Oh yeah. Villages manoushes are like the best manoushes you’ll I ever have.
Oh I’m so ready for it, yeah. I’ve had manoushe I think in Byblos, I had it in
where else also in Beirut I think. I fell in love with it in Beirut. So, now having
it in the village is going to be amazing especially when it's locally recommended.
So it's going to be great. So, we just got
our Lebanese coffees. I’m curious though what makes a Lebanese coffee a Lebanese
coffee because it's quite similar to a Turkish coffee. Yeah well, it
originally is it starts from turkey. It's like Turkish coffee I mean like if you
go like to international chains like Starbucks and stuff, it's called Turkish
coffee I think so but the thing is we like adopted it we have like coffee
breweries here in Lebanon coffee brands in Lebanon like cafe--
They have their own brewery like how do
you make this coffee, I think they're like coffee beans
where you like you roast them, mix them into powder;
coffee powder like they're black powder and like you bring --
you know. Where you put in the gas?
Let it boil a bit then remove it from the gas,
put coffee in it, like bring the spoon
Heat it up yeah? Yeah heat it up. Yeah. Yeah so,
for like three minutes, two minutes, five minutes, I don't know it depends like
everyone has his own taste of coffee.
It's good, then bring like the cup of coffee, we call it--
morning rituals for everyone here in Lebanon. Nice. Yeah.
So, that's what we're getting started on right here.
Have a drink there. Alright, so here's where the magic
happens in here. So we got the- the dough going on right
here. So, this is the full process and they
toss it in that machine seems like it flattens it out.
Oh and then, it stretches it stretches it into a-
a solid little. Oh, it looks just like a pizza,
Very efficient process. Do that- oh nice perfect circle there.
And oh that's- that's the good stuff right there. Is that the thyme?
Yeah, that is the thyme. Oh yeah, yum. So, that makes a- a nice- nice
base to the bottom of it to soak right into the crust.
And then, oh there we go. Got the fire oven here too.
And it just pops right in like that.
Oh yeah, get it- get it heating up now. Oh yeah, it's cooking that sauce right
into the crust. Oh, there we go.
Oh yeah, give that proper cooking so it gets a
solid 360. Oh yeah, you can feel the heat coming out of there.
That is making me very, very hungry And how long does it cook?
Two minutes. Oh, so it cooks quite quickly, then two minutes in here, and it is ready
for the next step. Ah very nice, merci. So, that's the initial
step to make those pretty efficient process to get them going. Oh, this is the
first one here. So, which one is this one- is this the cheese? Oh, merci beaucoup [Thank you very much]
This looks look at this. Oh, we got number two and number three
coming out, and which one is this one? Yeah oh.
Mixed with tomato yeah that is the thyme. Thyme, yum. Merci, merci, yeah.
So this is the cheese one.
Delicious, it's really good. I love manoushe with cheese. Oh, it's so
good. Oh so, what is this one? A little spice to put on there.
So it depends how you like your Lahm Bi Ajeen. Yeah. You squeeze it, round it,
you add like a bit like a spice. Oh yeah. Lahm Bi Ajeen spice is like awesome. Alright, let's
give it a shot here, bro. There’s a little spice.
Oh yeah. It's really good. Alright, let's
give it a try here.
That one's really good too. It’s like a Lebanese pizza
but better.
Oh yeah, it's really good. Really good, yeah.
You get a little coffee there. A little coffee to wash it down is necessary.
Very good ,then we got this is the one I actually I’ve gotten
multiple times before and here we go for the thyme manoushe.
That is a nice flavor. Cheers bro. Cheers bro.
[Speaking foreign language]
We are doubling down.
These are like the main three manoushe dishes.
Yeah. What is this one?
Well, the locals are telling me like they personalize it with
the-- Okay-- was a sweet, Lebanese sweet but--
Very, very special yeah, you can only find
it here? Yeah. Yeah you can only find it here.
Yeah perfect. Let's try it out. Yeah this is about four times the amount I can
normally eat. So it's- it's gonna be filling. Oh, you're gonna have a belly
in Lebanon don't worry about it. Yeah, it's coming in it's coming in. Oh it's nice and warm,
Very good.
Yeah exactly, save it for tomorrow. Oh goodbye diet, I was like having a diet.
Yeah I know I was done eating them, and then all of a sudden you guys gave me
this, and I need another piece there's no such thing as a diet here in Lebanon. So,
the diet is to have another manoushe piece here.
They’re making you can get as many pizzas as you want or manoushes as you
want, they're making 130 right now. That’s a big day,
It's a big day. What’s your biggest order you've ever
had? Probably today. Today, biggest ever. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. Oh wow,
breakfast, lunch, and dinner yeah that's a lot of manoushes.
They’re eating the Lebanese way. So what is that for like five people a 130.
It's for 30 people. Okay nice.
So 30 people are gonna eat 130 of them. So that's four per person.
Geez yeah, I’m gonna have a belly by the time you leave so that's what it looks
like now. Check back in- in three weeks. So we
just had a delicious meal here at Furnace Sabaya, and can you tell me what
Furnace Sabya means? Yes, the bakery of the girls because we're all girls. See, so the
family of girls runs this amazing bakery. There’s dad over there merci beaucoup, it’s
delicious. And specifically the- the dessert
manoushe we had four of them, and it was so good we weren't able to finish all of
them. So, we have some snacks for on the way down I hope we can digest them
because they're really good. Exactly now, we can burn some calories after today.
According in Lebanon, there is no such thing as a diet. You just eat it as much
as you can. So it's delicious, we'll see you guys at the next spot. We're gonna
stop at our guest house we're staying at before we head down.
