Mansaf
The national dish of Jordan is Mansaf (Arabic: المنسف الاردني). Mansaf is the most distinctive Jordanian dish. It consists of lamb cooked in a creamy sauce made of yogurt (الجميد), served on a bed of rice.
Feasting of Mansaf is taken very seriously, and it can take many hours to prepare. If Mansaf is on the menu, Jordanians consider this to represent the height of generosity. Mansaf is usually served to mark special events, such as a graduation, a wedding or a holiday.
