No, I'm a racist incel. I prefer chicken tenders and frozen food

>tfw no middle eastern places where i live and the one decent one within 100 miles randomly closes whenever they feel like it
>tfw theyve been closed/reserved the last three times i made the trip out there

i thought middle eastern food would be more exotic looking than that...? it just looks like chicken and rice?? with very little seasoning?

>>16984717
there's a middle eastern grocery store/restaurant down the block from me and I was actually the very first customer, I happened to be walking around when I saw the owner turn around the sign and I thought I would go inside and get a snack and it just so happened that that was their first day. they have good food desu

>>16984708
That meat looks so fucking dry.

>>16984708
white rice? american salad instead of tabouli, no hummus for your pita, no tahini sauce anon i

Love to order Indian food and get drunk off wine every Saturday. Nothing like a saag palak paneer extra spicy. Got some tandoori skewers but just like every time you order restaurant chicken the cook it to fuck.

>>16984785
>american salad
ok you clearly don't know what you're talking about lol. go to any lebanese place and that's the standard salad you get. there's more than just tabouli

>>16984708
yesterday grubhub had 50% off any order above 40 dollars
i bought 2lb of gyro meat
1lb of tatziki
6 whole pita, grilled
6 dolmades
8 baklava
2 chicken zaki
for 60 bucks
i'm living like a king this week

That's a pretty handsome salad

>>16984816
That's like 2 days worth of food at max lol. You must weight 150 pounds. Also get a dozen dolmades. That's food of the gods right there.

>>16984816
It sounds like you wasted a bunch of money to me.

>>16984824
>i'm living like a king this week
>That's like 2 days worth of food at max lol.
>You must weight 150 pounds
What exactly are you implying?

>>16984852
I'm implying that you are a twink and what lasts you a week wouldn't last me 48 hours.

>>16984708
>Middle Eastern food
>Run by Chinese immigrants

>>16984708
Looks like diy tacos.

Why move, and where to?

>>16984858
can you make a mukbang

>>16984926
I'm not a glutton lol I'm a 105 kg boxer who lifts as well. That shit is disgusting I don't like to overeat.

>>16984934
can you film yourself eating a normal amount of food

>>16984943
I'm on a fast right now and won't be eating till thanksgiving. But in one sitting based off of >>16984816
I could eat 1lb gyro
all those pita
all the dolmades
not big on desert but probably 2 baklava
And both the chicken zaki.

I mainly eat high protein, lots of meat and some carbs. Everything I eat is organic high quality though. I'm not ripped or anything right now It's kind of my off season. That's why I'm fasting lol I put on a little too much weight moving up a class.

>>16984958
Can you post a video of you beating someone at boxing and then eating after the big win?

>>16984708
>a whole mess
That's literally an entree with bread, sauces, and a little side salad. Really mediocre cuisine.

>>16984934
>I'm not a glutton lol I'm a 105 kg boxer who lifts as well
Can you lift deez nuts and box them into your mouth?

>>16984708
>Half a slice of tomato

Must be Israeli

>>16984965
Hahaha man I'm in tears. I'm not comfortable videoing myself eating I don't want my face associated with that. But if I ever get famous I'll do it just for you lol. Just give me a code word so you know it's me ;)

>>16984890
Have you ever had chink-spic fusion? Real big here in south Florida, lots of Asians from south America here for some reason.

>>16984970

>>16984991
The code name is Ja/ck/ Scalfani

>>16984708
That was my go to after work for a while when I was a fat alcoholic. Order at this tiny Turkish joint when leaving work, pick up some whiskey and a chicken shwarma plate, eat it, drink, pass out for an hour digesting all of that, go to sleep late, get up early for work, feel shitty because sleep deprived fat alcoholic, repeat.
I do not miss those days.

>>16984994
What would that even be? I've had sushi burritos before. But those were just big handrolls. No salsa or anything. I'm curious as to what the actual fusion end result would be?

>>16984934

Manlet detected

Congrats, and checked

>>16984717
It’s a front

>>16985005
Alright I'll say "this ones for you Ja/ck/ Scalfani"

as long as the world doesn't end before then.

>>16985009
Lol I'm 181 cm. I'm not tall for my weight classes, but I have long arms so it balances out.

>>16984731
There is a very, very good Palestinian grocer/restaurant a 7 minute drive away with beautiful murals and cheap, fresh food.

There's no excuse as to why I haven't been there in 2 years. I should go again soon.

>>16985008

I've never actually had it but I imagine lots of ceviche sushi

>>16984728
This is basic middle eastern food in Western countries made by migrants.
If you want something exotic, look at pic rel.

>>16985029
Definitely go especially with the way restaurants and the economy's going. You should patronize them soon. There's a little sushi place 15 minutes away with a nice older couple that runs it. My stepfather got rejected for an egregious request of them to sponsor his daughters softball team and now my whole family refuses to go there. I still do occasionally but it's a shame his arrogance and delusion gets in the way of supporting a great local shop.

>>16984738
Depends how good the place is.
A lot of middle eastern dishes marinate the meat, boil it until 90% done, remove the meat, cover it in an oil + spices mix, then cook the rice in the same water while roasting the meat at the same time.

This looks like a fast food version of it, which probably skips the roasting and depends on the sauces for moisture.

>https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chifa
Damn that looks kinda nice honestly. I know some Filipino food is Spanish/Asian mixture. But that has a much more south American vibe then their cuisine

>>16984708
It's been awhile since I have, but yes. Interesting enough, I am planning on doing so in a few days.

>>16985014
It's in milwaukee so that would not surprise me
I've been there a few times and it's always been phenomenal food each visit so it's a damn good front if it is one

>>16984731
give them all of your love and affection anon
in my very limited experience good ME shops and restaurants are hard to come by in the west. miss me with that NafNaf bull-ish

>>16984991
can you eat messily so the crumbs fall down back onto the plate but your face isnt in frame

>>16984708
No and that looks like puke

>>16984708
The only time I get Mediterranean/Middle Eastern food it's at a buffet, so I guess yes. There used to be a great little dive one on Brown Trail in Hurst but I think it's gone a long time. Byblios in the stockyards is still around though I'm guessing. Lebanese chicks are hot.

>>16984708
>You ever just order a whole mess of Middle Eastern food and go to town
OP that looks so low-end and low-quality. Go somewhere else.

When I go mediterranean, isreali or middle eastern there will be some baba ghanoush, hummus, a luscious marinated taboulleh or pita or chopped salad that isn't all lettuce like you have, or a single half slice of paperthin tomato, there's going to be a decent amount of lebneh, tahini, crispy flavorful, grill marks on the meat, right from the skewers. Pickled onions.

>>16984708
Why the fuck would I go to town if I've already ordered the food? Shit thread, OP.

>>16984708
Yes

>>16985616
That shit looks bomb

>>16984708
This looks good. Looks like The Green Olive near my house.

>>16985022
>181cm
Lmao so not even 6ft then. What a pathetic little manlet you are. I could stub you out with my thumb.

>>16984708
No. I just make it. It's easy and delicious. And nobody sells it here, yet, which is a Good Thing.

I could make this meal in 20 minutes.

>>16984708
I could eat lamb gyro platters all day
