Lebanese cuisine is renowned for its diverse array of appetizers, known as "Mezze." These are numerous small dishes served at the start of a meal. Mezze include hummus (blended chickpeas with tahini and olive oil), tabbouleh (a refreshing salad made of parsley, tomatoes, mint, and bulgur wheat), baba ganoush (smoky eggplant dip), and stuffed grape leaves (vine leaves filled with rice, herbs, and sometimes minced meat). The Mezze culture represents a communal way of dining, allowing people to share and enjoy various flavors and textures.
