Meet Ammo Amin, The Oldest La77am In The Business!

If there’s one thing Lebanese people absolutely love, it’s raw meat. The perfect Lebanese lunch outing would consist of an array of la7me nayye, Lebanese mezza, and cold Arak, so it’s safe to say that we take our meat pretty seriously.

Did you know that Beirut has a butcher who has been in the business for 86 years? Ammo Amin had his own butcher shop in Dhour Choueir many years ago before opening “Malhamat El-Qiyama” in the heart of Gemmayze. Walking into his butcher shop you’ll be met with his kind smile and the smell of fresh meat and spices. With so many years in the business, you can imagine just how passionate he is about providing his customers with the best quality meat to grace their dining tables.

Lebanese blogger Bayan documented his amazing experience meeting Ammo Amin, showing his viewers how he prepares the raw delicacy. Make sure to give the video a watch so you can also learn about the history of this staple dish!
