Kuwait cuisine

Food plays a large part in Kuwaiti culture. The traditional food of Kuwait known as machboos consists mainly of mutton, chicken, or fish placed over or mixed in a large mass of well-cooked and prepared rice, closely resembling the Indian-Pakistani biryani. Curries and sides also complement the dish.
