Har du hørt om Jordan Almonds før? Sjansen for det er vel kanskje ikke så stor med mindre du har vært i et arabisk bryllup før. Jeg var i mitt første arabiske bryllup for noen uker siden. Der fikk gjestene små tøyposer med sukkerdekkede mandler. Jordan Almonds. De blir sett på som afrodisikum og det er en vanlig gest å gi dette til til gjestene i bryllup. Jeg elsker å bli kjent med nye kulturer gjennom bryllup, en fantastisk måte å få innblikk i en kultur.
"Five sugared almonds for each guest to eat
To remind us that life is both bitter and sweet.
Five wishes for the new husband and wife --
Health, wealth, happiness, children, and a long life!"

Heard of Jordan Almonds? It's sugarcoated almonds that traditionally are used as wedding favors. A little gift from the newly weds to their guest. Knows as a aphrodisiac. I got my little treat some weeks ago, in a wonderful arabic wedding. I have to say, weddings is a perfect way to get to know another culture!
