Okay, better remind me to add, “try Machboos before I die” to my bucket list, because not only is it a popular dish among most of these countries, many of them like it so much that it happens to be their county’s national dish. Needless to say, the national dish of Qatar, the number two on our list of countries with the worst food, unhealthiest cuisines in the world is Machboos. One interesting dish they have in Qatar is the Balaleet. The Qatari will either eat this dish for breakfast or as a dessert — my kind of dish! But wait! Sweet, savory noodles topped with an omelette and optional nuts? Uh… maybe NOT my kind of dish. Margoog! Now, that’s a dish I can hang with (or… eat, in this case). It’s packed with nutrients, typically zucchini, eggplant, potatoes and tomatoes (some of my favorite veggies!) and what dish isn’t complete without some type of meat? What I’m not crazy about is the dough that gets boiled in the stock of this dish, but hey! I didn’t think a dippy egg belonged on a cheeseburger until I tried it.
