Good point...but I personally can't stand the smell!!! I will try to do without!!Geert said:Greek and Lebanese food usually involves lamb.
I have never been able to find lamb in the DR.
Are you planning to import it??
Cheers, Geert
I guess this is going to be "Dominican/Lebanese". Another chicken restaruant.pacito said:Good point...but I personally can't stand the smell!!! I will try to do without!!
Think of Domades...tzaganiky...ouzo...shawarma...arak...baclava... souvlaky....kebab....who needs the lamb?

Both. I owned a restaurant back in the Staes for many years. I am familiar with Lebanese cuisine because my restaurant was located next to a Lebanese restaurant owned by my best friend. He was from Beirut.pacito said:Howmar: do you cook or eat?

harlan said:pacito,
there is a great middle eastern restaurant in the town of La Romana. I believe called Shish Kabob. owner 2nd generation of Palestinian descent, nice friendly person. he has an email address though I misplaced same. maybe he would offer some good advice.
interestingly, there is a common street food in rep dom that has a name sounding like kibbee. must have come over via spanish moors from way back.
Do you know of the availability of organic vegetables in Sto Domingo...especially spinach? Or will I have to organize it myself?Chirimoya said:The Dominican version of kibbe is called quipe and was brought to the country more recently than that: by Middle Easterners who immigrated to the DR in the late 19th - mid-20th century.
There are several Middle Eastern restaurants and cafes in the capital run by their descendants, and a good Lebanese deli called L'Epicier de l'orient on Ave. Churchill.
I am told that lamb (from New Zealand, no less) is available - at a price - from the very upmarket 'Amigo' supermarket on Gustavo Mejia Ricart in Naco.
Thanks for the info, I never went to this market, I will check it out next week.Chirimoya said:Most supermarkets have a small organic section but your best bet is to buy direct from 'Mercado Ecologico' in Mirador Sur.
