Jordan belongs to a culinary region defined by wheat, flatbread, olives and spices. Its leavened wheat flatbread is called khubz, while the Arabic word for spices is tabil; bold spices are used generously. Most Arab countries around the Mediterranean share this culinary tradition, and their food cultures resemble one another, reflecting their shared history. Khubz has a hollow center that can be filled with hummus or falafel, and salads are finely chopped to fit inside. Food is eaten with the right hand. Turkish coffee, made by boiling coffee and drinking the liquid above the grounds, is popular, but very sweet hot tea is the usual morning drink.
