Kaek

Politics have been very divisive these days, so i decided to post a little thing from my personal blog, something that i'm sure the Lebanese are united around: The very delicious Kaek, or Ka3ek
---------------------------------------------------

I had Kaek for breakfast today. Kaaek is a typical Lebanese on-the-road snack. In French, it's called "une galette". It's a sort of sesame-covered bagel that has a distinct delicious taste to it.
This is how a Tripoli kaaek vendor looks like:


(notice the Lebanese flag)

Kaaek is usually stuffed with greek cheese, summak (a special red spice), or both. It is then char-grilled until the cheese melts. These days, some people add cream cheese too. Older people scoff at this. Kids these days! They don't eat the way they used to.
