Last meal on leaving the ME?
If/when you eventually leave these lands of sand, what would you choose as your last meal? Something "local", a five star meal, fast food?
I'd have to go for a shawarma (must include garlic sauce and a handful of chips) and a watermelon juice. Quintessential UAE foods to my mind.

It would have to be something like Reem Al Bawadi mixed grill, or a shawarma. Can get a fancy steak anywhere, might struggle to get that garlic paste stuff and chicken and nice bread and chips.
Oh god. I'm meant to be having sarnies for lunch but now can only think of shawarma.

My last meal would be the same as my 1st. One last brunch.

Re: Last meal on leaving the ME?
I think a specific kind of food is something that miss no matter where you are and you cannot get it anywhere else no matter how much you try and find its like.
Like in Rawalpindi there was this place which made this Chicken Rajastani cheese boti (bbq) and well the name says it all I guess. I think I reduced my total living life by about 1 year by eating so much of that heart stopping calorie juggernaut!
Here in Dubai, I would have to go with this Chinese place close by which makes the best dumplings I have had ever! Yeah, if I go away I might be able to get other dumplings as well but not this perfect mixture.
aaaaaaand now I am having dumplings tonight....thanks!

Hummus, Metabel, fresh bread and alcohol-free beer. To be enjoyed to the background tape of high-class Koranic recitation.

Shawarma. Nothing else from the region beats it.
