What is unusual or different about the food and cuisine in Yemen?
Can you tell me about the food and cuisine in Yemen?
Yes, I'd be happy to. Yemeni cuisine is unique and different from other Middle Eastern cuisines. It has been heavily influenced by Indian, Ottoman and Persian food traditions. Yemeni food is known for its spiciness, with many dishes containing chili peppers, cumin, and other aromatic spices. The most popular Yemeni dish is called mandi, which is a delicious rice-based dish that is cooked with meat (usually lamb or chicken) and a blend of spices.
