A Special Memory with Lablabi

I have this memory with Lablabi a special one you know so I was just a little kid back in Tunisia and one winter day my grandmother was making Lablabi and the whole house smelled of it and I remember running around being all excited because I could smell it and I could not wait to eat I can still remember my grandmother telling me eat it hot its good for the soul and she would always smile and the bread that went with it just made it even better

That memory always comes back when I think of Lablabi and whenever I eat it now it’s like a reminder of home and family and warmth and love its not just food its about everything around it the people the love the care
