    I have two favorites - Kubba Mosul and Syrian kibbe. Kubba Mosul is made with mashed potato instead of the traditional shell. I like how the Syrian version has 2 shapes and the one that they smoke outdoors is kind of flattened a bit and full of pine nuts with the meat filling. For some reason, this version he demonstrates here reminds me a lot more of Persian food which also makes sense if it's Iraqi food.

      Greek yoghurt is what Anglophones call strained yoghurt...which is only used for certain things in Greece (and everywhere else). For a job like this, the Greeks/Cypriots/Turks/Lebanese would use the sheep/goat's milk yoghurt in the little clay pot. And, until recently, if they wanted some strained yoghurt (for tzantziki or whatever), they've strain it themselves.

      saffron hasn't been expensive for decades. I don't know why, but the price fell to a fraction of its former levels in the 80s. The Greeks grow some nice saffron in the village of Krokos in the North ('krokos' just means 'saffron') and it's very reasonably priced. Of course, India/Pakistan produces the stuff in mega-tonnes, too.
