Having all he photos at the end of the article isn't as good as the way you place them in context. And they're not that much better, just a bit bigger if you can be bothered to enlarge them.Roy Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-86687690441472131062011-06-24T14:02:05.093+00:002011-06-24T14:02:05.093+00:00Also, I was just looking on their website.

I think you must have been unlucky with the bottle all right, because (imo) the two Lebanese wines they list by half bottle, Ksara Blanc de Blanc and Ksara Reserve du Couvent, are both perfectly pleasant - nothing amazing, but highly drinkable.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-62204649218304500272011-06-24T13:57:50.156+00:002011-06-24T13:57:50.156+00:00Oh yes, the plate of vegetables is a Syrian standa...Oh yes, the plate of vegetables is a Syrian standard - in fact in restaurants there it appears on the bill as 'suhn service' - service plate! It often includes herbs as well, e.g. mint and some long thin bitter green leaves I don't know the name of. I find it a refreshing addition to the meal myself!<br /><br />I have heard from various sources that al-Waha is the best Levantine restaurant in London, so this is further encouragement to actually go there some time soon!Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-28490455411572307242011-06-24T10:07:59.770+00:002011-06-24T10:07:59.770+00:00Bah, what an appallingly poorly coded site.

Wrote a long comment, tried to post it, it side-stepped me to register for the site, which I did, but when it returned me to the original page, my comment was gone. Wrote it again, from scratch, using the newly registered login, and it didn't work but also cleared the comment a second time!<br /><br />Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!<br /><br />In brief, the dishes you had reminded me of what I ate on my recent Lebanon holiday, returned last month.<br /><br />The spring onion was nearly always part of the dish of salad vegetables that was served everywhere we went and was popular too, I loved just munching my way through the raw spring onion whilst enjoying the cold mezze.Kaveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16662875905365870280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-33254126054567025112011-06-23T23:37:07.163+00:002011-06-23T23:37:07.163+00:00I believe that it's actually Syrian rather tha...I believe that it's actually Syrian rather than Lebanese, although they go by the latter as that's what people are familiar with.Paulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588051831069283523.post-38631089741879599692011-06-23T16:15:30.677+00:002011-06-23T16:15:30.677+00:00I couldn't get the comments on the site to wor...I couldn't get the comments on the site to work.<br /><br />The basket of vegetables is an arab thing I think! They serve the same basket of vegetables at Ranoush on Kensington Church Street. My friend that is Iranian says you're supposed to cut the vegetables and have it with your food and pita. She sliced a tomato and cucumber in about 10 seconds with a butter knife.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04482078492022382483noreply@blogger.com
