We spread a red and white checked cloth over the rock and
placed on it different salads and vegetable dishes that we had brought with us.
We ended with a colourful display, all entirely vegetarian. There was beetroot
salad, baba ganoush [an aubergine
dip], goat’s cheese, a bowl of carrots, tomatoes and broccoli, different kinds
of patties and fruits. We settled down to eat, the men from the group opposite
left the women and children to search for dry wood for their barbecue of kufta and lamb chops.
