If you’ve found yourself in Jordan then it’s a must you try Mansaf. Served with Arabic rice, lamb, and a flavorful broth of dried sour milk; Mansaf is the national pride of Jordan which often symbolizes a joyous occasion. Mansaf is also served during condolences and as a means to patch up ties with others.

Mansaf is the greatest symbol of Jordanian generosity. Usually eaten during social gatherings, the savory meal is traditionally served in a communal dish. Rather than being served with utensils, Mansaf is a feast meant to be eaten with your hands.
