One day, an Iraqi guest came to us who lives in America and he and his wife (his wife is Syrian) .. They were on a quick visit to Iraq .. Our reception for them was of a special kind .. We made a meal for them that cost us a lot of money .. and since Basra is famous for its fish. Therefore, we had to offer them these two luxurious foods, and since Al-Sabr had just come to the market, that is why its price is very high .. We did not care .. It is important that we bleach our faces in front of them ..

Despite the much money that we spent for the meal, but his wife did not eat anything from what we offered them, so we thought that the cooking did not like her .. But it became clear that the people of Syria do not like these foods despite their outrageous high prices .. She listed for us names of strange foods that she loves, of which I only understood the zucchini ..

The important thing is that what is expensive to you is cheap to others, and vice versa ..

So that you know that I am from Basra governorate, I do not need to explain much to you. You will know me as soon as I tell you that I am from the Sabour and Shabzi governorate ..

Since most of the brothers with us here are from the Arab countries ... it is an opportunity to get to know the most famous foods that characterize the areas in which the Arab brothers live, as well as the Iraqis, because what Basra is famous for in the cuisine is very different from what the other governorates are famous for.
