Besides these, the Syrian meals include tomatoes, rice, nuts, cucumber, yoghurt, Beef, Onion, breads, sesame and Chicken. Syrian food combines efficiently the refined European cuisine with the local spices, having as a result one of the most representative Arabic cuisines. There are some Syrian recipes and meal names which are recognized worldwide, such as the falafel (a patty of spiced fava beans), the pita bread (thin bread, served with all meals and used for dipping), kebabs (Syrian wrapped sandwiches with chopped meat) or the baklava ( a very sweet pastry with butter, nuts and honey).
