Alice monarch I need to know how labneh is eaten in arab cuisine bc in turkey they straight up commercialized it as an alternative to cream cheese. There are literally tons of alternative cheesecake and tiramisu recipes where you use labneh instead of cream cheese or mascarpone and I feel like that’s deeply disrespectful even tho I have eaten and enjoyed those tiramisus (doesn’t work as well for the cheesecake)
that’s so interesting!!!! well i’m syrian (arab american) and when i was growing up we mostly ate it for breakfast but i never thought of it as a cream cheese alternative. we also love savory yogurt sauce (NOT greek tzatziki, the worst sauce ever made) like kibbeh in a garlicky labneh sauce is rlly good
