Cuisine of Kuwait

Cuisine of Kuwait

Food plays a large part in Kuwaiti culture. The national dish of Kuwait known as majboos ( _ar. مكبوس) consists mainly of mutton, chicken, or fish placed over or mixed in a large mass of well-cooked and prepared rice, closely resembling the Indian / Pakistani biryani. Curries and sides also complement the dish which is traditionally eaten using bare hands even though many choose to use western utensils. Food is almost always prepared and served in large amounts, and it is extremely common for households to invite guests over to share meals.
