　　Lebanon 黎巴嫩

　　Many dishes, such as hummus, a delicious chickpea spread, are pervasive throughout the Middle East. But when you’re in Beirut, don’t leave without trying mezze, a selection of starters with dips like hummus and the smoky eggplant baba ganoush, fresh vegetables, olives and leavened bread that could be a meal in itself. Lebanese cuisine relies heavily on poultry and meat, especially lamb, grilled or served in a stew. Lebanon also has a growing wine industry, but only order if you’re handed a wine menu; traditional Islamic law generally prohibits drinking alcohol.

　　黎巴嫩的许多菜肴都风靡整个中东地区，比如鹰嘴豆泥——一种美味的鹰嘴豆酱。但如果你在贝鲁特，就不能错过品尝“餐前小菜”——包括以鹰嘴豆泥、烟熏茄子酱等作为蘸酱的多种开胃菜、新鲜蔬菜、橄榄以及膨松的面包。这种餐前小菜本身就可作为一顿饭。黎巴嫩的菜肴中有大量家禽和肉类，特别是羔羊肉（可烤制或者是炖制)。黎巴嫩的酒业也在不断发展，但你只能在被递上酒单时点酒，因为传统伊斯兰法律一般禁止饮酒。
