Lebanese Food in the Diaspora
editLebanese cuisine has engrained itself as a staple in a multitude of cultures, whereever people from the Lebanese diaspora emigrated [1]. Examples include Brazil [2], Canada [3] and the United States. [4] The language of food can contribute to feelings of cultural belonging, as shown through literary analysis [5] . It has served as both a source of identity and income for people of the Lebanese diaspora everywhere around the world [6].
