Have we done Middle Eastern?

Doesn't look like it. I would like to say that will be easy but I've been caught out before thinking that!

OK - lets do Middle Eastern food & drink. How do we define 'Middle East'?

What is the Middle East?
The Middle East is a loose term, not always used to describe the same territory. It usually includes the Arab countries from Egypt east to the Persian Gulf, plus Israel and Iran. Turkey is sometimes considered part of the Middle East, sometimes part of Europe. Sometimes the Middle East includes North Africa as well. Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh are usually described as South Asia.
