    What To Buy: Jordan is a moslim country, but there is a local produced strong alcoholic drink called Arak.
    It is a distillate of grapes and aniseed and it is excellent pure or added to the coffee.
    The best place to buy it is at Amman airport duty free shop.

    What's this mysterious object?

    • What To Buy: Do you like Felafel, the tasty fried balls made of minced broad beans? Do you want to try to cook them at your home?
    Then you'll need this beautiful tool: once you have mixed the ingredients together, this tool helps you to make the discoidal ball and throw it into the hot oil without touching it with your hands. You pull the side lever with your finger, put the mix into the top housing pressing it a bit, and when you release the lever a spring throws the pressed content directly into the frying pan. It works!
    Difficult to explain it in English... anyway it is a nice metal object that can be found in the souks and in many other shops.

    • What To Buy: Jordanian wine is not so popular and probably not one of the best in the world, but it was amazing to find it and try it.
    S. Catherine rouge is a red wine, appearently "produced in the holy land" but actually made in Jordan.
    Not bad, but expensive, compared to italian standards.
