The kibbeh is one of the favourite foods of the locals, and the Aleppines have created more than 17 types of kibbeh dishes, which is considered a form of art for them. These include "kibbeh" prepared with sumac ("kәbbe sәmmāʔiyye"), yogurt ("kәbbe labaniyye"), quince ("kәbbe safarjaliyye"), lemon juice ("kәbbe ḥāmḍa"), pomegranate sauce and cherry sauce. Other varieties include the "disk" "kibbeh" ("kәbbe ʔrāṣ"), the "plate" "kibbeh" ("kәbbe bәṣfīḥa" or "kәbbe bṣēniyye") and the raw "kibbeh" ("kәbbe nayye"). Kebab Halabi – influenced by Armenian and Turkish tastes – has around 26 variants including: "kebab" prepared with cherry ("kebab karaz"), eggplant ("kebab banjan"), chili pepper with parsley and pine nut ("kebab khashkhash"), truffle ("kebab kamayeh"), tomato paste ("kebab hindi"), cheese and mushroom ("kebab ma'juʔa"), etc. The favourite drink is Arak, which is usually consumed along with meze, Aleppine kebabs and kibbehs. Al-Shark beer – a product of Aleppo – is also among the favourite drinks. Local wines and brandies are consumed as well.
