    This video is from 2 years ago but I would love more video content like this instead of just shorts and recipes maybe trying Middle Eastern food from different shops or restaurants or even like countries and actual videos ❤

    You have an engaging personality! You should make more such videos that are beyond recipes, like more get to know me types. Or maybe Trader Joe’s seasonal items review as well

    I love the shakshuka and like to have it on hand for a quick breakfast. I also bought the Knafeh this weekend because I've just had knafeh in the brain and my brain sis a dance when I saw it. I'm going to try it this weekend

    Thank you for the Za’atar tip! I liked the flavor of the TJs one but even using a ton felt like it was lacking some depth... I think TJs snacks and food are good for when you don’t want to cook but want some of the flavor! All of the Mexican/Latin food deff doesn’t come close to what I can make, and neither do their Indian items, BUT I always keep some on hand for those days I have 15 minutes for lunch or it’s been a long day 🤣

    OMG I cannot thank you enough for doing that or even thinking about doing that
    As a Lebanese myself where we take so much pride in our food I get offended every time I go to Trader Joe's and I see that tabouli or kibbe the two main national dishes of Lebanon
    the tabouli didn't even care to try it because it looks anything but tabouli it looks like more of a barley salad
    The only thing I give trader joe's a credit for is their garlic paste the toum

    War'a dawali to me ias always done in tomatoe sauce and ,warm. I keep a pot of that, malfoof, and tabouli stay in my house weekly lol. Maqluba and shwarma to spoil myself. All store bought food has to much In it. I came here from palestine when I was 4. I love arab food to much to buy it. Great video though its nice that arab food is becoming popular in stores

    I'm just surprised to see these items in a regular US store (rather than a middle eastern store) you wouldn't find almost any of them in a UK supermarket but looks like it's probably best left to the middle eastern stores and restaurants anyway.

    What do you expect about the dolmas having mushy rice??? It’s been sitting inside an aluminum can for who knows how long. Of course, it’s not fresh. No canned food is fresh. I don’t know why people complain about canned food. You won’t be complaining if it’s the end of the world and you’re forced to eat canned food. Don’t review food if you’re too high class for canned goods and premade stuff. Just appreciate the face that you have food compared to the millions of starving men, women and children in Pálestíne and any third world countries. Next time you complain about food, just think about the babies and children in Gázá.
