There’s a quote in Jordan and the Middle East that says something along the lines of: “Even when you’re full, you can still always eat 40 more bites of food.” Jordanian food is one of the ultimate highlights of visiting Jordan. And it’s not nearly as shallow as just eating until you are stuffed, and then eating some more. But it’s rather a clear reflection on the importance of generosity and hospitality and the significance of food in the Jordanian culture. What is Jordanian food? Jordan, due to its geographical location in the Levant, has culinary influences from North Africa, the Middle East, Persia, and the Mediterranean.
