“How many Syrian food recipes can you cook with oil and no meat?”/“Plenty! Plus all the dishes which instead of using meat and animal fat are cooked with oil for the Christian days of fasting.”/“We call them ‘oil dishes’—Germans call it ‘vegan’ food.”/“You’ve got great business sense!”/“Vegan food isn’t enough. And even a restaurant can’t reach enough people, even if it were large. I want to start a project that doesn’t have limits.”/“What’s up, Amer? My mom cooked a super delicious horra asbao (a Damascene dish with noodles, lentils and coriander). No matter how skilled the chef, nothing can top mom’s cooking. I’ve got a Tupperware box full of food, just for you. Come by and grab it.”/“Mom’s cooking ... in Tupperware ... that’s it! I’ve got it ... I’ve got it!”
