Um Bshara’s mooneh kiosk in Ana/Beqaa
15-9-2017
Al Mustaqbal featured yesterday the Geryes’ kiosk for seasonal fruits and traditional mouneh on the main road between Ammiq and Kafraya in West Beqaa. Located at the foothill of Mount Barook near the town of Ana, the ‘basta’ (stall/kiosk) is packed with handmade goods by mooneh expert, Um Bshara. Visitors to the ‘basta’, particularly food critics/tasters, distinguish the organic and natural taste of her products and the lavish summer or winter ‘rural dining table’ jammed with confectionaries, foodies and pickles. In an interview with the newspaper, Um Bshara said she spends whole months preparing all varieties of fruits, veggies, juices and meats following the healthy traditional ways of packaging. She uses conventional conservative ingredients, like water, salt or organic olive oil in the process of storage to be consumed in the off-season, imparting an added nutritional value to processed foods. Fans of Um Bshara’s gourmets flock from all parts of Beqaa, Al Mustaqbal wrote, but the majority of her food lovers are from Beqaa residing in Beirut and the coastal regions. They take advantage of the summer and fall seasons to stop over at Um Bshara’s basta to get their essential mooneh for the whole year. The reason, as many told Al Mustaqbal reporter, is not in the quality and uniqueness of the showcased food, but also in the generous pieces of advice Um Bshara gives on every detail, including the method of packing, usage and consumption.
