On February 19 evening my tutee Mohammed from Kuwait cooked dinner for my boyfriend and I, and we brought an American dessert. It was an evening of mutual cultural exchanges. He made kabsa, a chicken and rice dish native to the Middle East. The craziest thing about this night was that we ate with our right hands.
We spoke about guns in light of recent events, specifically the policies between our two countries. In Kuwait nobody is allowed to own them and it's really a safe country.
We also compared favorite artists and music, and we found that some of our favorite American artists take influence from Middle Eastern music. This happens especially in the electronic music realm, and Mohammed ended up really enjoying some of the stuff I showed him that had that Arabic influence.
We also set a time for Mohammed and some of his friends to come try sushi with us after he gets back from San Diego. Looking forward to his reaction to this dish, even though it is not technically American!
