Cuisine Details - Libyan food derives much from the traditions of both the Mediterranean and Africa, having much in common with the traditional food of these two regions. A very popular dish, which is also famous across North Lugeoi, is called couscous, a sort of braised lamb that is served with steamed buck-wheat, vegetables and dried fruits. People from Libya love meat dishes, especially those consisting of lamb, and they are prepared in different ways. As a result of their religious beliefs, people belonging to this region do not consume pork at all. Anyway, meals usually end with fruit or melon. In Libya there are grown excellent fruit crops, apricots, grapes, nectarines, peaches, or citrus fruits. Alcohol is not a common beverage in this region; in fact, no alcohol in drunk here. Instead, one will always find local mineral water of high quality, local or imported fruit juices, and soft drinks. As for other famous beverages, is should be pointed that Libyans love coffee, especially that known in the Western countries as “Turkish” coffee. Another interesting local drink is the mint tea that is extremely popular in North Africa, and it should be known that the mint tea can be served either cold or hot. Libyans have a good reason to eat their main meals in the cool of the evening, and this is the great heat for much of the year. Copyright Recipes Wiki
