Hey everyone hope you're having an amazing day! It's Mark Wiens I'm in Jeddah Saudi Arabia Today we are gonna be eating at a number of different places. We're gonna have some delicious breakfast, but the main event is that we are gonna go to a place that specializes in a special type of white lamb. This is the first time I've learned surgical gloves to eat lamb. We're gonna eat a whole lamb for lunch.

That's going to be one of the ultimate dishes of the day, but it's gonna be a lot of delicious food local Saudi Arabian Food in Jetta today and I'm gonna share all of the food, all of the dishes. You're not going to want to miss anything coming up right now in this video. Foreign good Morning from Jeddah and I'm very happy to be in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia but I just want to let you know the smoked ghost pepper by Kiva and Mark Wiens is available. I'll have the link where you can buy it in the description box below, but it's my favorite all-purpose seasoning.

I Use it on just about everything and I always travel with it. We are starting today with breakfast. It's a very traditional dish, but kind of a unique version of that dish and maybe a modern twist. Oh man, I Can smell the aroma of the fool as soon as I step inside of here.

Fool is I mean one of the greatest breakfasts that you'll eat in this entire region in Saudi Arabia And it's fava beans, but we're eating a unique version of them here at this place today. Okay, so he dishes out the pool from the big container which has just been slow cooked probably overnight until it's just like disintegrating. Fava beans I love wool and then over on the other side of this kitchen just frying up some I think it's way impossibly and then they're making the fresh bread over here. One of the Specialties here is smoked wool and so they take out the full.

The Baba beans dresses it like normal with a Sprinkle of spices oil but then they bring it to your table, floats an onion on the surface, adds on some oil and then puts a little hot coal Ember into the into that onion and so it just starts to hiss and smoke. puts the lid on that's going to smoke it out and then we're gonna. We're about to open the lids and eat it. It's not yellow, all right.

Here we go. It smells so good it smells for me. If it smells it smells incredible. that's gonna give it an extra fragrance.

from the typical spread with sesame seeds, black seeds, fresh bread. oh it's so fluffy too. Take everything here we go. Smoke Tool Oh wow.

it's so rich and Smoky and creamy. I Think the ghee which has been like kind of smoke that's like fats so it just releases that flavor into the beans makes it so rich. Yes that's the spirit. That's actually okay.

We have another dish to try. um oh that's that is really good. It's like not overly sweet because I think it's just that mild dates which I'm giving it that sweetness I Love the stickiness of it and then you've got the cream and the cheese which is not overpowered. Well, that's sounds like an interesting combination, but it feels really really good.

This is egg and tomato. Yeah yeah, Oh oh the green chili man. I Love pool. We're moving on to breakfast number two.

Uh, now we're gonna have it's a celebration breakfast here in the western side, we usually serve the people in the morning. this kind of breakfast when we have a celebration. For example, read: wedding or engagement or any happy occasion. Any happy occasion In the early morning we eat this breakfast celebration breakfast that we're gonna eat next.

Okay okay so one of the cool things that we're trying here is smoked cups with water and so they take the cups they they burn the Arabic gum you pour the water in and you you try that water without a room. Really? Smoky Aroma of that of that smoked Arabic gum which is a sap from a tree. Quite an incredible spread of food and such a diversity. So many different colors, spicy cheese, so really you can kind of just choose different dishes that you wanna.

So after the sweetness let's go for some of those. Then we have some pretty like fancy drinks as well. A little bit sweet but really good and taste of Flavor of the basil. Maybe it's like a minty flavor too.

it has like a pumpkin flavored to it. Maybe that's what the Orange is. this is we call it. it's kind of Castle Island It's a crispy bread with banana.

the bird is still crispy then with like melted banana sauce. Well Falafel salad is great. Oh Lamb with eggs. Celebration breakfast.

That was actually a really good breakfast. Really nice. kind of like a elegant breakfast. A really nice place.

Welcome to Saudi Arabia Thank you very much Thank you very much very happy to be here! Yeah! so for lunch today we are at Harid Restaurant. We arrived here.

This is where we're going to be eating a whole lamb and we're immediately heading back to the kitchen to see the lamb which is being roasted. That smells incredible with charcoal. How long does the lamb roast between photos? It's a small lamb. It's around three and six months.

Thank you. Every maybe 30 minutes we have to add the ghee to get the alarm. Soft and more crunchy. If you can't see a stupid crunchy and nice color.

What a technique! So all the the lamb fat drippings are gathered into a like a tea kettle and then re-poured onto the lamb every 30 minutes or so during the roasting process to keep it hydrated and crispy. What a technique! So the oil just keeps being absorbed into the meat, reabsorbed and you can just just slow roast for four to five hours just continually rotating with those burning logs skin getting crispier and crispier. But Chef is going to grab a piece right off the limb for a taste test real fast. All that crispy bit.

Oh look at how juicy it is. Oh and dip into honey. dipped it into honey so that would be the sauce while it's just dripping and oozing. Um that is so much honey and lamb all in your mouth at the same time.
