Kibbah be sayneya.

That's the name of this dish. It consists of a hunk of ground lamb mixed with bulger wheat, stuffed with more ground lamb, pine nuts and onions. If I had to guess, we're talking about a solid pound of meat here. That's a Lebanese beer in the background.

I only made it halfway through the kibbah after gorging myself on an appetizer. I remember spending the rest of the night laying around like a boa constrictor that had just swallowed a wild boar. Think you can handle the whole thing? Then check out Arabian Breeze over on NE Broadway. I recommend the upstairs smoking garden, which features a fountain, occasional belly dancing and hookahs galore.
