What the creator captured
Mark Wiens Abroad was deeply impressed by the rich, natural flavor of the water buffalo cream paired with date syrup and tahini. He highlighted the unique experience of exploring the UNESCO-listed Mesopotamian marshes, which he described as the cradle of civilization. The highlight of his visit was connecting with the indigenous Marsh Arabs and witnessing the ancient preparation of Iraq's national fish dish.
