Jon12 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Sorry for the blank post. We are planning on having a party with a middle eastern theme in a week or two with a couple hookahs and some middle eastern music. Do you guys have any good recipes or tips? Now lets see if I can get a belly dancer/stripper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahCulture Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Check the music thread, get some songs, burn some CDs. I got a great double CD called BEDOUIN CAFE. Great for hookah but not old school traditional, it has chill/trance mixes in a middle eastern vein. Get some throw pillows from Target to have on your floor. Look up some recipes. Cook for your friends. Serve tea and guava and mango juice. Dilute those juices with half water, they're thick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookahCulture Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Look online for good recipes.

DO NOT get canned baba gannouj or canned hummus!! Get a box and mix your own. Add tahini and a little spice to hummus. I like the Sadaf brand spicy hummus in a box. Don't forget the Arabic Bread brand of pita bread. It's not a true pita, but it's the flat bread you want to serve. 70 cents a bag. Cut it into 8th's like a pizza for your guests. Make a pile of bread pieces on a plate for the hummus and baba gannouj. Any recipes you make, make them successfully for yourself FIRST so you're not experimenting with your guests.......(That one from the DUH Department.)

Jon12 Posted January 25, 2005 Author Share Posted January 25, 2005 Thank's you are the man. I really appreciate the tips. It looks like we will be doing it mardi gras week end since they are cracking down in the neighboring town of San Luis Obispo(CA) because of last years riots. Lots of cops and triple fines in that city so we should have a good amount of people. A friend of a friend is also bringing 2 more multi-hose hookahs. Any from the board is welcom if they are local.

HookahCulture Posted January 26, 2005 Share Posted January 26, 2005 Canned baba gannouj will make you barf haha. In fact it already LOOKS like vomit! Oh yeah the little spice boxes are really common in ethnic markets and they're a brand called SHAN. They make TONS of different mixes and a good store will have LOTS on the shelves. Read the box you're interested in to see what else you need for the successful recipe because not all are complete ingredients in the box! Another key to a successful hookah party is good flavors! I had the AF GS Eskandrani mixed with Fumari guava and so many people at my friend's NYC party said WOW that people came pouring in to see what the fuss was about! --Reiner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookahCaterpillar Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 www.foodtv.com You could make hommos, baba gonough, chicken kabab, lamb kababas.falafels, spiced rice. If it were me I would grill up a bunch of cubes of lamb, chicken and beef and vegetables and let people make there own kebabs less work for you and more fun for them.Set it up with sauces like tahini and yogurt sauce. You could also setup a falafel bar with all the traditional fillings that go in a falafel along with pitas. Then for dessert you could have baklava and babousa. For drinks goto the store and buy an assortment of teas.Traditional middle eastern teas are usually like cinammon tea and anise tea sometimes mint tea. Good luck man let us know how it goes!
