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.
