Masgouf is a seasoned grilled fish called carp and is the national food for Iraq. Main city in Iraq which is Baghdad prides its self for making the best Masgouf, "with its famous Ebû Newâs district on the shores of the Tigris river, "dedicated" to this dish, with more than two dozen fish restaurants." Futhermore you can find Masgouf all over Iraq. So how they prepare this dish is that the fish is alive when they buy it and then its clubbed to death after the costumer buys it, split down the middle and is cleaned and spread out to a single flat piece. "•2 lbs. fillet white fish Vegetable oil 1 lg. tomato, diced 1 med. onion, diced 1 c. celery, diced 2 cloves garlic, minced Parsley sprigs 1 tbsp. curry powder 1 tbsp. white vinegar 1/2-1 tsp. salt (to taste) 1/8-1/4 tsp. pepper (to taste) 2 tbsp. lemon juice The Masgouf recipe is very detailed and should be prepared with care. The steps into making Masgouf fish require special attention to the amount proportion to insure a delicious dish."
My reaction too this is that i would not eat it because I do not like fish and also its kinda gross to know that it was alive when u bought. So i would not even try a little bit.

Maqluba which when its translated means "upside-down. This dish usually has meat, rice, and assortment of fried vegetables then they place it in a pot or some baking dish. After its done cooking they flip the baking dish upside down and then its served. And this dish is usually served with yogurt or Arab salad.
My reaction to this is I would eat this if it was made with chicken and not lamb. It almost looks like fried rice and yes wish I had some now.
