“I didn\u2019t digest it.”<\/strong>
<\/strong>When you don’t like something, you say “I couldn’t digest it,” meaning you didn’t like it.<\/p>

“What should I remember from you, quince? Every bite was bitter.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Used for negative past experiences.<\/p>

13. “foule w en\u02beasamet noss\u0113n”<\/strong>
“A fava bean split in two.”<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>

Two people who look or act just alike.<\/p>

<\/p>

Damascus isn\u2019t just a place for delicious food; it\u2019s where food becomes a language of its own, woven into every situation, and layered with meaning that shapes our identity and everyday lives.
