Vegetarians are in luck in Jordan: it’s very easy to survive without eating meat. Although vegetarianism as a concept isn’t widely understood (Jordanians love their meat) the food culture naturally relies on lots of fresh vegetables, beans and pulses. There are plenty of salads to choose from, lots of vegetable based dips to scoop up with flatbread, and tasty cheap snacks like falafel are easily found. Everything is flavourful from tangy to spicy with olive oil, lemon, garlic, parsley and mint featuring heavily.

The Blue Fig is one of Amman's most dynamic yet distinctive cafes. Take its namesake, for starters: the blue fig. A distinctively Middle Eastern fruit, the object of art and epic tales... the fibrous and seedy fig seems a suitably symbolic icon. Yet its dynamism contradicts its uniqueness, as it appears in alternating geographies: Morocco, Turkey, Egypt, Iraq, Iran, and, unfittingly, California. The blue fig, as it seems, is an enigma.
