Are You Ready to Order?

This was my brother-in-law Shaun's first trip to Nazareth and, while we prepared him for what to expect, we may have forgotten to mention a few things. For example, we went to dinner one night in Haifa with Shadi. The five of us saw the Ba'hai gardens lit up at night and then headed to a seafood restaurant run by Shadi's friend. Here was the massive spread of awesome food. We all tucked in and Shaun especially seemed to be enjoying his dinner.



Then the waiter came up and asked us what we would like to order... and Shaun's jaw dropped. Oops, seemed we forgot to mention the "appetizer" course is a little different in the middle east. Shaun thought that was dinner (and really there was more than enough food for it to be), but still enjoyed the actual dinner which came out shortly thereafter.



Generally speaking, this is how all the meals went while we were there, most especially the wedding party meals. But it is always phenomenal food and my only regret is that I can't eat more.
