@@danielhan8995 you need to learn more about capitalism, it only favors business strong enough to compete and big business can easily beat small shops.

I lived in Brooklyn for years and Sahadi’s was my go to grocery store. For pita, I still went down the street to Damascus bakery. But, Sahadi’s has so much amazing foods. The feta cheese! Greek, Turkish, Lebanese, French, ...and a few others. The pickles and olives!
This is one of my favorite places to shop! My Mom has been taking me there to get Cashews and peanuts since I was a kid. The Bulk Section will leave you broke.
I was watching this video with my aunt in the same room and as soon as the host said anything about Trader Joe's in the same sentence as hummus we both flinched 😂
The only, real pistachio ice cream is the one that comes from Italy. The one I found in NYC contains 20% of Pistachio di Bronte. Most of the other stuff is faked with green dye. I have seen an American made "Pistachio ice cream" that doesn't even list pistachios among its ingredients!!!
Middle east is the core of civilisation, not like they say in the news. They only steal our oil and send us to Europe after they stole everything and destroy everything. And then say go back to your country after destroying and robbing everything. Vicious fourth tongue white man..
Lebanese is a new invention. The first Arab migrants in the states were called Syrians, even if they came from Mount Lebanon as it was a province of Ottoman Syria at that time.
Wittski Whiskey doesn’t do anything chemically. The hummus is blended and using ice instead of water keeps it colder and slightly thicker so when it’s refrigerated it doesn’t freeze. Using water can change the hummus’s texture. Keeping everything cold just makes for better hummus
Mary Ann Jan I also believe that as the ice gets pureed, the small shards act like tiny serrated knives - overall creating a smoother, creamier texture

@@Suite_annamite *wrong you had an independent Lebanon* that regrouped catholic people it was of course oppressed by the ottomans but it was still independent of them and had her own story
You pronounced kibbeh incorrectly- you should have asked someone about pronunciations on foods that you are unfamiliar with. Disappointed and also insulted at the same time

It was a rhetorical question.
Small businesses aren't always better. Capitalism supports good business not small business.
@@danielhan8995 really? Capitalism just supports the biggest businesses.

I love markets like this. They tend to sell higher-quality food.

Yes i agree. Thats why I like to vlog these kind of places in LA. They have better foods and better stories to share.

Part of my overwhelming enthusiasm toward these markets is the FREE exposure to other cuisines, cultures, and people.

Damascus is my go to for baked goods and dips. Sahadi’s is everything else.
The last time I was there I bought a 4oz container of their hummus
It still haunts me to this day that I didn't opt for the 16
how long would it last tho?
if it's fresh it means it doe not have preservatives.
I live right near there, and I love Sahadi's. So happy to see it get the acclaim it deserves.
Market shopping is always fun! It seems to be a pleasure to buy new food! 😍
🇱🇧 Lebanon & Syrian 🇸🇾 dishes yummmm
And Palestinian 🇵🇸 Practically we all share food of the Levant, since we're all neighbors.
How did I only just find this vid? I live four blocks away and go here every week. This place is an absolute gem.

Bruhh me too😂😂😂
Don't know why i torture myself by watching these videos
because you are dumb 😂
Lol your profile picture 😂😂

Chic peas is super food, try including that to your diet and see the difference with added sesame!
I love pistachios! Especially the cream pistachios 😍😋. Have you ever tried it?

I literally can smell the store and taste the hummus

Do they have cloth bags or can you use your own containers?

Bro that looks good right about now (first btw)
Why add water in the form of ice? What does it do chemically? Very interesting

@@primadonnainterrupted got it. Thanks. :)
makes it last longer refrigerated.
since they are making large batches to sell and not for on the spot use.
I spotted that too...

Kibi .. 😆 it should sound like kib'uh
why can't they farm some ingredients locally?
I mean, sure, some ingredients needs special enviroment, but many more can be farmed just fine anywhere.
