After learning last week about the people, customs, and foods of India, our students continued their culinary world tour with a stop in the Middle East. The Middle East is a broad term, and means many different things politically, religiously and culturally. For the purposes of this lesson, the Middle East was defined as being comprised of countries surrounding the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Greece, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Egypt).
