Yemen

Last night we were planning to eat from Yemen and had already half cooked our Yemenite dinner when we got invited out for a bbq. So we took our Halabi Kebab (Yemenite Meatloaf) and put it on the barbie and ate it with sausages and Watties tomato sauce! Talk about an inter-racial marriage! We also took our Bint al Sahn, which is called a honey cake but is actually unsweeted bread dough, rolled into flat discs, brushed with butter and stacked then baked. The idea is to drench it with melted butter and honey then rip pieces off and dunk them in the sauce. It sounded lovely, and indeed would have been if I had only been able to bring myself to use that much butter and honey! Sadly, I could not do it so it was a dry hunk of bread with a lovely top layer! To be fair, it went very nicely with fresh strawberries and butterscotch schnapps sauce, and wasn't too rich, but boy I'd love to try it the way it's meant to be....
