Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabians are traditional and eat the same foods they have eaten for centuries. The average meal of the Bedouin nomads who remain in Saudi Arabia is much simpler than that of the urban Saudis today. However, the basic ingredients are the same: fava beans, wheat, rice, yogurt, dates, and chicken are staple foods. Saudis rank as the highest consumers of broiler chickens in the world. Lamb is traditionally served to honored guests and at holiday feasts. Camel (or sheep or goat) milk is a staple of the Bedouin diet, and dairy products are still favorites with all Saudis. Yogurt is eaten alone, used in sauces, and made into a drink called a lassi. Flat breads— fatir, a flat bread cooked on a curved metal pan over a fire, and kimaje, similar to pita—are the other mainstays.
