Bahrain
Bahrain’s food is built around island Gulf cuisine of sweet muhammar rice, fresh fish and centuries-old halwa makers. Look for Machboos (spiced rice with chicken or fish and dried lime), Muhammar (sweet date-syrup rice paired with fried or grilled fish) and Halwa Bahraini (gelatinous saffron-cornstarch sweet with nuts, made since the 1850s). Rice cooked with fish or meat, dried lime and baharat, often made with the local hamour or safi.
