How to eat!

I remember being taught how to break the “khoobz”(bread) around 6 or 7 years of age. Very simply, cut a small piece of pita bread, around 2 inches across, and pinch it: the object is to cup it in order to scoop out as much food as possible…at breakfast time we would eat labneh (yogurt cheese) and a bit of zaatar with it, plus plop an olive on top of that, and maybe a mint leaf as well… and of course some tomato slices which were brought from our mountain garden in the Chouf region southeast of Beirut.
