Oman
Ask what Oman eats and the answer starts with this: frankincense-scented crossroads cuisine: slow pit-roasted lamb, kingfish, dates and rosewater halwa. Look for Shuwa (banana-leaf-wrapped spiced lamb buried over embers for days; Eid ritual), Omani halwa (glossy saffron-rosewater confection stirred for hours in copper vats) and Omani kahwa (cardamom-rosewater coffee served with dates and halwa). Spiced meat wrapped in palm or banana leaves and buried in a hot pit for one to two days at Eid.
