Restaurant Freej Soeleh

by NicoleB Email

One of the few Restaurants in Kuwait that serves traditional Kuwaiti food.
It was delicious (even though my pictures don’t look like it) and the prices are amazing.
It’s in Salmiya, between Mark’s & Spencer / Marina Mall and the Sultan Center.

A million thanks to Miss A. for taking us here :)!!
And thanks for leaving the names of the various foods ;)
Maybe you can give me the explanation again for the name of the Restaurant?
Can’t get it together properly any more, I’m getting old.

The pictures are mostly self explanatory, so I let you enjoy them in peace:)

Don’t use Bablfish for your translations ;)
Miss A. wanted to buy one but the manager declined the request.

Mountain graves

Mittlerweile habe ich etwas mehr ueber die Tradition gefunden, im Wald begraben zu werden.
Diese Tradition gibt es immernoch, ist aber am aussterben, da dies nach strikten Regeln geschieht. Die Frau geht z.B. nach der Hochzeit komplett in die Familie des Mannes ueber. Wenn der einer anderen Religion angehoert oder diese Tradition nicht weiterfuehrt, waren deren Eltern wohl die letzten, die dort begraben wurden. Ganz oben liegt die aelteste Generation. Einmal im Jahr werden diese Graeber und Ahnen an einem Feiertag geehrt, es gibt eine Art Picknick, wo den Ahnen Speisen und Getraenke gegeben werden.

Wer noch mehr ueber diese Tradition weiss, bitte her mit den Infos :)

I found out a bit about the tradition of burials in the mountains. It still exists, but is dying out. For example when a girl marries, she belongs from that day on to the family of her husband and can’t be buried on her parents burial site. If there’s nobody else left in that family, then the parents were the last ones to be buried there. The oldest family members are lying on top, then comes the next generation and so on. Once a year they celebrate their ancestors, bring them food and have sort of a picknick there.

If anybody knows more about this tradition, please let me know!
