Kaak/lebanese Street Bread
From manakeesh (za'atar bread), jibon (cheese bread), falafal, shawarma and one of my most memorable, the sandwich batata (potato sandwich). I honestly didn't realize what I was eating the first time I had one of these sandwiches. It was an experience delving in but it stuck and so did the memory.
The last time I was in Lebanon I was only 16, maybe 17 years old. Young, excited to learn about everything and anything. My cousin and I would head to Bikfaya to watch a live futbol game (aka soccer) and run a little snack stand. We hitchhiked down into the city from our little village, Zabbougha. A few car rides down the steep mountainside and we made it to the futbol arena. Lights lit up the sky, people all surrounded the arena. I was young, broken Arabic but I was there to take it all in. The sights, the sounds and the food.
That summer, I experienced so much. I feel like I got a real sense of who I was and immersed myself within my culture. As I look back now, I remember my family of course but also the food and history. One of the most memorable foods of that summer was the sandwich batata (potato sandwich). A layer of french fires, a mayo/ketchup mixture and shredded cabbage all stuffed between pita bread. How magical!

It has been over 20 years since I've been back to Lebanon. Everything I know and learn today is through my parents, research and this distant memories when I was much, much younger. I love sharing dishes like this with my family and telling them the stories that I remember from family that they will hopefully meet one day.
I hope this dish transports you somewhere magical. Whether you decide to use frozen fries, enjoy the potatoes as is off the tray or make
