    FOOD:do not expect to French cooking but some good surprises also in small restaurants far away of our standards. You will eat many fresh or dry vegetables. Fresh fish only near the sea and on Sana'a. the basis of the alimentation is the bread make with different flours: corn, wheat, Indian millet, barley, millet… you will eat also the famous soup called salta , beef, sheep, goat, chicken and others dishes prepared with vegetables. On the restaurants you will never meet women except if the restaurants as a room only for women , so don't be surprise if people will look at you! You will find everywhere mineral water and sodas. Tea is a national beverage often perfumed with different spices. Yemenite people are fond of qishr who is made with a part of the coffee grain.
    On Yemen it's strictly forbidden to drink alcohol. NEVER drink alcohol or beer on the streets, this will be considered as a lack of respect, but inside your room in your hotel you can drink if you want.

    ne pas s'attendre a de grande cuisine mais on peut être agréablement surpris mêm dans des restuarants loins de nos standards. Les Yèmènites ne font que se nourrir , mangent vite en trempant le pain tenu dans la main droite dans le plat commun. On mange surtout des lègumes frais ou secs. Le poisson frais ne se trouve qu'au bord de mer et à Sana'a. La base de l'alimentation est le pain à base de différents mélanges de farine: orge, lentille, blé, maïs, sorgho, millet…Pour l'accompagner, la salta (fameuse soupe-sauce parfumée au fenugrec) ou du boeuf, du mouton, de la chèvre en sauce, du poulet grillé ou autres plats à base de légumes. Dans les restaurants vous n'y rencontrerez jamais de femmes sauf si l'établissement est équipée d'une sale séparée pour la gente féminine, aussi pas détonnement si on vous dévisagera pendant votre repas…
    On trouve partout de l'eau minérale en bouteille ainsi que des sodas. Le thé est la boisson la plus diffuse souvent parfumé à la cardamome ou au clou de girofle. Les Yéménites aiment boire le qishr, décoction faite à partir del'enveloppe du café et parfumé au gingembre, à la cardamome ou au clou de girofle.
    Le Yemen interdit strictement la consommation de toute sortes d'alcool, ce qui n'empêche pas la contrebande dans la région de Mokkha et surtout au carrefour des routes de Taez et Hoddeida. Ne JAMAIS boire de l'alccol ou de la bière dans la rue , cela sera considéré comme un grave manque de respect, par contre dans votre chambre d'hotel vous êtes entièrement libre.

    non aspettatevi una grande cucina ma si può essere piacevolmente sorpresi anche in ristoranti lontani dai nostri standard. I Yemeniti mangiano svelto inzuppando il pane tenuto nelle mano destra nel piatto comune. Si mangia prevalentemente verdura fresca o secca. Il pesce fresco si trova solo a Sana'a o al mare. La base dell'alimentazione è il pane fatto con varie mistura di farina: sorgo, grano, granoturco, lenticchie, miglio, orzo… accompagnato della salta (famosa zuppa-salsa al fieno greco), carne di bue, montone, capra in salsa, pollo arrosto e altre pietanze a base di verdura. Nei ristoranti non si vedono mai donne yemenite salvo se una sala in disparte è messa alla loro disposizione quindi, turiste donne, nessuna sorprese se i commensali vi guarderanno mangiare…
    Si trova acqua in bottiglia dappertutto come pure i soda. Il tè è molto diffuso spesso profumato al cardamomo o al chiodo di garofano. Ai Yemeniti piace molto bere il qishr: decotto di caffè profumato al zenzero o al cardamomo o al chiodo di garofano.
    Birra, vino, alcool sono strettamente proibiti e, a parte l'alcool di contrabbando nella zona di Mokka al bivio per Taez e Hodeida, queste bevande non sono reperibili. Non bevete MAI alcool o birra per strada è una grave mancanza di rispetto ma nelle vostre camere siete totalmente liberi di farlo
