#how to make kunafeh
Note
If the trigun gang (Milly, Meryl, Vash, Wolfwood, Livio/Razlo, maybe Roberto?) had the ability to access any food they want in the world, be it from no man's land or earth, what do you think would be their favourite? (I kept thinking about your polygun's presentation night and the food discussion and how I went crazy warm and excited with the food choices you had mentioned there, so now I'm curious about further thoughts if that's okay :3 )
It's totally okay! I do have some thoughts that are kinda rolling around in my head. I think that the availability of a lot of these foods depends on the proximity to Plants, and what kind of food the Plants are largely programmed to make.
Milly: She likes ceylon tea, which has a very light flavor, so I think she'd enjoy fresh, herbal food and drinks. This girl loves tabbouleh! Especially since an abundance of fresh herbs would be hard to come by, I think salads would be delicacies! Fried squash blossoms, nasturtium salad, lavender tea, she likes edible flowers.
Meryl: Likes banana sundaes, which is such a big, extravagant dessert that is also kind of childish? Most people don't think about banana sundaes very often, lol. I think she has a secret sweet tooth, so she'd almost definitely like sweet dairy desserts like kunafeh, cheesecake, mahalabia, etc.
Vash: Ok, this is 100% entering my own personal hc time...but he LOVES seafood (or its closest equivalent, whenever he can get it), and it's for Plant reasons. It's got nutrients that he craves without realizing, so he goes a little wild. Other than that, he has a soft spot for Malaysian food, bc that's what Rem made when he was little.
Wolfwood: Ah, my beloved foodie. I write him Mexican (projecting), so his comfort food tends to be Mexican dishes-fried plantains, flautas, etc-but he really likes anything with lots of spices. The hotter and more flavorful the better! Kufta, golayat bandora, curry-he likes new flavors! But also somebody with a sweet tooth. Would adore baklava.
Roberto: hmmm, we don't get to see a lot of Roberto's food choices, but we do know from the stampede development presentation that his flask is full of tequila?! Help.
Anyways, this is a man on the go. He's spent his life pulling long hours in weird locations as he tracks down stories. He loves shawarma (I miss good shawarma waaaaaaa). He loves falafel sandwiches. Anything portable? Yes. But he also really likes mint, I think, and fruit. There is a Jimmy Buffet slumbering deep within him.

specific arab trace cultural nostalgia things for both your writing/headcanon reference and my nostalgia
the desserts! he misses good kunafeh and doesnt know how to make it like his mom used to (at some point hammond buys him niche storebought ones as a gift. tastes awful but he appreciates the gesture and i think YOU should try kunafeh one day and oops just realized trace is lactose intolerant and so he cant have kunafeh (its got cheese in it as literally THE main ingredient) sad! well lets just say he toughs it out because its the good shit
He also misses semolina pudding! (mamounia its called) This one he can make at home but its not the same as having it made for you yk?? its special and feels lonely eating it at a table alone instead of with family. (OH big thing with arabs is food and hospitality. if youre invited for lunch you get a second serving no questions asked. dining with familys a big thing)
grew up watching iftah ya simsim reruns on vhs (arabic localized sesame street, and the title literally translates to "open sesame") and had a bit of a whiplash when hammond showed him american sesame street actually lemme link the theme song for reference https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hat3-8tkPlA
HEHEH AWWW !!!! stashes these away for later reference
THATS SO CUTE and same on the hospitality culture thing it is FORBIDDEN. FOOOOORBIDDEN for anyone to leave a mexican household with an empty stomach. my friends used to tease me with bets of "ok so how quick do you think nova is going to ask if we're hungry" like BROOOO!! IM BEING POLITE!
i couldnt cook for shit and still cannot but i tried. another funny thing is a friend who i still hold dear to my heart (even though we don't rlly talk anymore) tried my food and she went "m. its. its Edible..." like yeowch that hurt HADUHFKAS. but it was really really funny and i preferred she be honest with me anyway. i giggle about it to this day LOL
just watched the theme song THATS SO CUUUUTE T__T

How to get a visa for Jordan
How to get a visa for Jordan
Intrepid travelers come to Jordan to experience the ancient ruins of Petra, the wide open spaces of Wadi Rum, heart-pumping hikes, Arab hospitality and (of course) the kunafeh. Fortunately, Jordan makes entering a breeze for many visitors, offering a visa on arrival and the possibility of extension (yes, they already know you won’t want to leave). Since visa requirements for Jordan vary based on…
