PRESENTATION
A yearly national day, celebrated the first Saturday of the month of July (this year the 7-7-2007), is dedicated to TABBOULEH.

The TABBOULEH is the most famous Lebanese traditional dish, adulated by all the inhabitants of the cedar’s country, and adopted by number of gastronomes in the world. It’s a dish that unites, in a country torn by wars and tensions; a symbolic dish by the diversity of its ingredients: Like the Lebanese nation, its delicate harmony is threatened anytime that one of its components is separated or even neglected, while its colors, green, white and red are those of the Lebanese flag.

During this day, Lebanese and their friends everywhere in the world meet in private or in public around this king of the mezzé. This artistic, cultural, gastronomic and touristy feast presents them an opportunity to show and to reinforce their attachment to their country.

The edition 2007 (July 7, 2007) of the NATIONAL TABBOULEH DAY has the official approval and the patronage of the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism.
