With another morning in beautiful Iraq ahead of me, I set out to have a tasty Iraqi breakfast before exploring the largest cemetery in the world!
My guides Jafar and Ali from Bil Weekend, my friend Tasos, and I started at a restaurant in Najaf that sells beef and lamb kebabs. Some of the kebabs are a mix of the two meats!

We watched them grind and form the kebabs, and grill them. Then, we watched them bake some khubz bread in the tanoor oven. It all looked so good!
The kebabs came with some charred onions, tomatoes, and a wedge of lemon. Jafar showed me how to make a sandwich with all of the ingredients, with some sumac sprinkled on top.
The sumac was a vibrant purple color. Everything combined was so flavorful and smoky. I loved the fresh burst of juiciness from the tomato! I also loved the chicken shorba, which is a thick chicken soup.
We also had hummus and an assortment of vegetable dishes, including some purple cabbage and baytinijan. I loved the hummus with the kebab! But we still had more breakfast spots to hit up!
At our next spot, we’d have some ash and hareesa. Ash is a thick stew made from grains, monk peas, cow peas, and beef. Hareesa is made from wheat and beef, and they add cinnamon to it! The ash is a dark, rich brown color, while the hareesa is pale in color, similar to hummus. They both cook for about 12 hours.
They serve both in containers and finish them by topping them with a ladle full of scalding hot oil! The ash was so thick and earthy, and quite rich. I loved the shredded beef, bans, and crispy onions in it.
It was phenomenal. It’s the type of dish that will fill you up and give you energy in the morning! It was very thick and tasty!
The hareesa was also thick, but had a hint of sweetness from the cinnamon in it. They can actually make it sweeter by adding sugar to it. We added some and mixed it. It made it very sweet!
I loved how sweet, thick, and filling it was, but between it and the ash, I was too full! Plus, the guys there were so kind. Their shop wasn’t too busy because most of the people in the city were along the pilgrimage route to get free food.
Outside, we met some men making Arabic coffee for free. It was really nice and creamy! It was almost like an espresso shot. I definitely needed it to wake up! He was selling it for free because of the pilgrimage happening in Iraq at the moment.
Next, we drove to the Valley of Peace, which is the biggest cemetery in the world. I’d never seen so many tombs in my life, but it looked like it must have been thousands, maybe even more!
We pulled into a parking garage over the cemetery, where we got a nice view over the cemetery. Then, we drove deeper inside. I could see graves of different heights and sizes, as well as empty plots reserved for families. Some graves had flowers or Korans places atop them.
It’s a sad place, but also quite beautiful! It was a nice way to end our morning in Najaf.

Love to people of Iraq Wallah n love Iraqi 🇮🇶 kebabs... Hello from India 🇮🇳
🇮🇶❤️🇮🇳
@@user-di8ku8tq9x 😘🇮🇳❤️🇮🇶. Lots of Iraqi scientists have worked in India in Bangalore bro. Iran Iraq War should never have happened. Also thank God tyrant Saddam n regime are gone, greedy oil hungry Americans have left for good n jihadist ISIS destroyed thanks to the resistence of people of Iraq. Always wish peace n love to people of Iraq 🇮🇶. You folks have suffered a lot my friend. May Allah prosper Iraq soon.
@@samnigam3451 Thank you, brother. In Iraq, we love Indian people very much
@@samnigam3451 I agree with everything you said. A lot of people still don't understand that George Bush and Dick Cheney invaded Iraq for the oil and NOT for weapons of mass destruction. Thank goodness though that Saddam Hussein is no longer around.
@@user-di8ku8tq9x Same feeling here Wallah marhabah Subang Allah...
Welcome to my country, I hope you enjoy 😍🇮🇶🇮🇶🇮🇶
Love iraq 🇮🇶 ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🇺🇸☮️🙏
All I need is Kebabs in mah life! For breakfast baby(Davids laugh) lol Looks so good. Breakfast morning noon and night I say. Condiments with the kebabs looks so good. Gosh yummmmyy. The hareesa looks good to sweet and savory :) Pilgrimage to Karbala is to be honored for sure. Never forget the people pulled together and helped each other survive ♥ Rest in Peace those that have passed. The Valley of Peace is the biggest I have ever seen. Bless them all the families to ♥

JAFAR!!!💐 So NICE To see JAFAR Is with you again David!!! MUCH LOVE TO YOU GUYS!!!💙🤍❣
my best bro david looking handsome thank you for your huge respect against cpec friendship countries lot of love from your best bro viki 💙
David so far this series is amazing. The food looks so delicious. So much history to see and learn. Thank you so much for sharing.
@Missy good morning. Hope all is well with you? Im having a cup of coffee at the moment. Have a wonderful day.💕
Thank you so much Ingrid! Hopping it starts to pick up with the next video ❤
Kabobs for breakfast sounds like a plan
@@crabmusic1 I agree
A very good morning to you David wherever you are right now (on your way to Saudi Arabia). First of all, the people of Iraq: beautiful, kind, welcoming and generous. Ladies: how about those handsome young men; very easy on the eyes 🤗. As per the food, the ash and hareesa, I have never seen anything like that. The breakfast though looked delicious. See, breakfast doesn't have to be eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes and toast. It can be anything to break the fast. Try something new. I love how Jafar watches David doing his own thing with the way he mixes up everything and then shows him the right way. Jafar seems to be a traditionalist and such a nice young man too. Nice to see Tasos as well. And yes, the restaurant was so clean and tidy. Now when it comes to the cemetery, what can I say: I would call it the 'city of the deceased', no offense to the Iraqis. It looks like an above ground burial site and it is so vast. Wow!!! I am so happy to see this series continued. So David, wherever you are at this moment, I hope you are safe and that you are well looked after. May God continue to watch over you and bless you and all those around you. 🙏🕊️👼🇹🇹🇨🇦
@Missy good morning Missy. I really wanted to say that the ash and hareesa looked like adult baby food.😋
@Missy anytime is a good time to have a good laugh. Going to take a shower and cut up chicken afterwards before world cup starts. Talk to you later. My sister is calling me now.🤗❤️🇹🇹🇨🇦
Thank you so much Judy! Those people so kind and I love their food ❤
I recently came across your videos, and they are beautiful and full of vitality and activity. We thank you very much because you showed the bright side of our country, Iraq.
Fascinating
My amazing brother David , you are so respectful and very endearing to the culture and cuisine of the area you visit !!!! You are so amazing and unbelievably talented in that you accurately represent all that you encounter and experience. Being a native of the area , i can confidently testify that your videos are authentically representative of the myriad places you enchantedly visit
What do you think about the shrine of the cousin of the Messenger of God, Imam Ali?❤😍
It was an amazing experience!!❤
David I'm telling you now so far all the food you have shown us of Iraq has been hearty delicious things that I would pick for myself maybe a couple of things I would need to be coaxed by the right person to sample because I would not want to insult anybody but it has been very interesting and so much culture and history from farther back than anyone could realize thank you for sharing some of the most heartwarming videos and making us learn that all people are not bad and we have to learn by opening up their books and reading but the same goes don't judge a book by its cover and that also applies to this country we must share foods ideas and hugs peace to you David 🇺🇸☮️
Iraq has a lot of things, but you can go to the state of Michigan to try Iraqi food. Iraqi history can only be experienced in museums in Washington or New York, or come to Iraq to look at it closely. He also knows the Iraqis for their generosity in all the difficult circumstances that Iraq is going through, until it did not change the impression, and in all these difficult circumstances, people smile, and this is from the great nature of people.
In an Islamic religious visit of the more moderate Shiite sect, it is called the visit of the forty, and this visit comes to all people from all monotheistic religions, where great personalities and ambassadors of countries come. And in the extreme heat, people do not care, as there are millions of camps set up on the road, and these camps prepare Iraqi food of all kinds, and all of this is free. Rather, it forces you to eat, and here we are talking about the generosity of the Iraqi people. Thanks to all the good people in the USA
الف عافيه يارب ♥️🇮🇶🌹
Iraq looking very beautiful
Untill you see all the wild garbage everyyyywheeerrreeeeee
@@murtadaali7651 i live in najaf brother i know how it is ahaha
اني بس اريد اعرف شغلة وحدة ، ليش ميطلبون اكل لجعفر وحدة ؟ ليش ياكل من ماعون ديفيد؟ يا اخي جعفر حسيته ملهوك 😂
And by looking at it I would eat Ash the way you did oh my gosh it looks so delicious 🥄🥢🍜🇺🇸☮️
Awesome superb

Wow man I Miss my country too much
Nice.I love kebabs
Lovely looking mouth watering kebabs. Ek bar Iraq jana Banta hai dude. Iraqi people love India 🇮🇳 since the times of tyrant Saddam Hussain.
@@samnigam3451 one day for sure 👌🏻
Wonderfull
Ilove you bro
❤I am Iraqi and I am honored by you
I love the smell of kebab in the morning!
I hope to meet you sir in Baghdad in your next journey. You're welcome in your home
David my son when he went to New York found a spice shop on 9th avenue right behind the port of authority building they had every kind of spice you could think of in barrels in boxes and and Oliver the Middle Eastern suite that I adore since I'm a little girl brought me home Middle Eastern cinnamon and Oliver also a big piece of marble halibut oh my God I was in heaven the cinnamon is like nothing we have here and put it on your oatmeal your grits whatever I eat the Oliver that somebody has to stop me because I am addicted to it and to get Oliver that good it's very hard in New Jersey peace ☮️🇺🇸🙏
Lemon on the kabab is really just personal preference, I never add it.. it's strange and I never seen anyone do that in Iraq
David I enjoy this video very much but I have to say something I have become very attached to Tasos. In my eyes he is adorable beyond compare and I love the way you both bond together it is very heartwarming. And I like the fact that he has a mind of his own when it comes to liking or just liking food that you might say I'll try this you might like it whatever and he will eat it or then he will give his opinion and say I heard him say already I don't like that you know that's good that's good. And while I have you here I want to wish you and yours a very Happy New Year Tasos. May the New Year bring us all some peace of mind and peace of soul. I've had a very very tough year health-wise really some scary moments but I'm well well as I could be so I'm looking forward to a new year. I want you to have all the peace and contentment and goodness and not looking forward to all kinds of new videos maybe with different places so David much peace to you and yours.☮️🇺🇸🥢🙏🍜
❤️x100 Noreen thank you so much! I'll let Tasos know too!!
Love from Pakistan
How you find our traditional food

Breakfast...free food at the pilgrimage..all nice but the most touching part is the largest graveyard...knowing that someone's loved one is resting there.....just sad but peaceful cause God is holding them in his arms....Quite a beautiful video Thanks as always David and you and Tasos stay safe on all your travels.
