Middle Easterners eat a wide variety of foods. The most common grains are rice and bread. They eat a disparate number of vegetables like carrots, parsnips, zucchinis, and similar. As concerns meat, they primarily eat chicken and lamb, although they occasionally eat beef.

Turkish: There are many different kinds of foods such as: lamb chops, Turkish kebabs, yayla çorba (plataue soup), köfte (turkish meatballs), döner (slices of meat in a sandwich), pilav (rice), shish (grilled meat or chicken), and many many more.

In terms of specific dishes there are Zeytinyagli Biber Dolma (Stuffed Green Peppers In Olive Oil), Laz Boregi, Izgara Bulgurlu Kofte (Grilled Kofte With Chiles), Tomato and Onion Salad (Soganli Domates Salatasi), Rice Custard (Sutlac), Potato Balls - Patates Koftesi, Kirmizi Mercimek Koftesi (Red Lentil Burgers), Stuffed Eggplants (Patlican Dolmasi), Hamsili Pilav (Anchovy Rice),and Coban Salatasi (Shepherd's Salad).

Israeli: Israelis eat a lot of felafel and hummus, pita, baba ghanoush, taboule, etc. Israeli salads are also quite popular. Since Israel has a huge emigrant population from Eastern Europe, there are a number of Eastern European dishes, like chicken shnitzel that are also relatively common.

Arabs: Arabs use wheat breads, couscous, barley, and rice as starch bases. Fruits, beans, and nuts (like dates, apricots, apples, olives, chickpeas, lentils, pistachios, almonds, walnuts etc.) figure prominently in Arab cuisine are often used to sweeten and flavor the various starches. Since meat and seafood became more common, Arabs tend to eat lamb, chicken, numerous varieties of fishes and shellfish.

Probably the most base food of the Arab World would be bread, but almost no Arab eats bread exclusively.

The most common food in Egypt is "Ful" (فول) which is crushed fava beans. It has a similar appearance to humus, a similar consistency to mortar, and is eaten with bread or rice. Egyptians also eat a variety of kebabs, typical Levantine humus, pita, and baba ghanouj, moussaka, pastilla, dolma, tahina salad, shwarma, and seafood along the Mediterranean coast.

Iran: Persians eat much of the same food, especially when it comes to the aperitifs and the kebabs, but they also have unique dishes. There is the famous Fesenjun, which has chicken or meatballs placed in a pomegranate and walnut sauce. There is also Ghormeh Sabzi, which has chicken marinated in an herb stew. Fish is also quite common along the coasts in Iran.

The majority of people in the Middle East sit at tables and eat with knives and forks, just like Westerners. There are some dishes, like felafel and pita which are eaten without utensils in much the same way that Hamburgers etc. are eaten in the west.
