Jordanian cuisine is a mix of Arab and Mediterranean influences; olives, fruit, herds and vegetables, yoghurt, cheese, chicken and lamb are its main ingredients. There are dishes shared with other cultures such as hummus, falafel, tabouleh and kebabs and others that are distinctly Jordanian, such as Mansaf, a delicately flavoured and delicious dish of lamb cooked in yoghurt.
