I love how a single dish can be interpreted in different ways as it moves from country to country. The small grains of couscous so loved in Morocco and elsewhere in north Africa grow in size when produced in Israel and are called ptitim - or Israeli couscous in the western world. A short distance away in Lebanon, the same staple grows further in size and is known as moghrabieh. I quite like these big balls of wheat. Curly-leafed kale hales from the northern Mediterranean, having been recorded in Greece in the 4th century BC. Tomatoes of course are Mexican in origin, but are now most commonly associated with Italy. Red emperor is one of the great reef fish species of Australia. So the Pacific meets the Med and has a child.
