What makes home home? For us, it’s the familiarity of food and family. AMERICANA has been playing an important role in our kitchens since 1964, and nearly 60 years later they continue to do so by serving us some wholesome food that’s easy to make, decently priced to stock up on and ready to adorn appetites all throughout Ramadan.

Here are our favorite foods that AMERICANA brought to us over the years, without whom we would enjoy the Iftar table a little less today. If you’re ever stumped for Iftar, Suhoor, Ghabqa or even just grazing ideas, this list will bring you back some familiar flavors, great memories and tasty treats ahead.

AMERICANA Cheese Samosa
This platter of staples can grace any of our futoor tables any day. People are usually team Cheese when it comes to their samosa choices, and AMERICANA’s are usually a hit. We love frying up these triangles to a crispy golden brown and munching on them all throughout iftar. Want a healthier option while keeping all the flavour? Try air-frying them!

Lebanese Beef Kebbeh, meatballs, and Arayes
These early products have graced many local households over the decades. Nothing completes a mezze plate like kebbeh, meatballs and arayes, and AMERICANA’s are as good as your grandmother’s. The perfect accoutrement to the iftar table, these Middle Eastern delicacies have been cheekily feeding people after insisting they’re full for a long time. No wonder they’re still around – they’re just that good!

Arayes sandwiches are a great accompaniment to hummus and easy kebab platters. They also make for a delightful suhoor if you want something nice, easy and light. If you’re looking for the arayes vibe without the meat, AMERICANA has Ready in Minutes Cheese Arayes and Cheese Arayes with Zaatar which make a perfect late night suhoor to share with the family.

AMERICANA Sayyad
Make room for traditional regional food during Ramadan by using AMERICANA as a shortcut to achieve delicious taste. Murabayn is a wellknown Kuwaiti dish composed of rice and shrimp that graces many tables during and past the Ramadan season. With AMERICANA’s tail- on shrimps that you may grill, sautee or bake any way you like, your murabyan does not need as much prep and pressure as it would without the readymade life hack.

Another great pop-it-in-the-oven snack or appetizer is the Zingz breaded shrimp from AMERICANA. With sweet chilli sauce, you’ll keep going back for more. Why do they call them zings? Because they’re sweet, crunchy and entirely addictive.

Chicken Nuggets and Chicken Strips
These indulgent chicken-based appetizers are ideal to have on the futoor table as a snack or side to enjoy with your meal. We also think they’re suited for a casual Ghabqa or suhoor. Both chicken nuggets and chicken strips are an AMERICANA classic and gen pop fave. If you grew up in Kuwait and ate AMERICANA chicken nuggets, whether they were in their traditional form or star-shaped, you’ll know what we’re talking about. Pair with a plate of homemade French fries (or AMERICANA French fries!) for the ultimate childhood experience.

Chicken strips can be enjoyed similarly. AMERICANA’s chicken strips deliver the perfect crunch and pair quite well with honey mustard or spicy sauce. We recommend air-frying these too, but the oven makes them taste just as good.

AMERICANA Heroz
If you have kids and want to treat them to their own breaded delights, opt for the HEROZ line. Featuring chicken nuggets in several shapes including Donuts, popcorn chicken and nuggets, the HEROZ line has the same great AMERICANA taste but is fortified with iron for your children’s growth. Delicious and nutritious.

AMERICANA CRAVES
Make Ramadan barbecues extra easy and extra special with AMERICANA’s latest offering, their line of CRAVES foods. AMERICANA’s burgers have always been out of this world, but with quality angus beef, CRAVES takes it to another level. Enjoy their angus beef burgers and hot dogs as well as their 100% chicken burgers and hot dogs with glorious grill lines. The CRAVES chicken burger patty also makes for an excellent healthy meal as grilled chicken served with a salad. For a gourmet experience at the comfort of your own kitchen or backyard, all you need to do is have AMERICANA CRAVES in your freezer. Nothing could be better!
