It's baba ghanoush , you spell spell 'gh' from your throat as if you are tickling a baby 'aghhh aghhh ghhh' (no sure if you got my point).
What about Homoss and fattoush?
Btw all these small dishes that you mentioned are just appetizers ... none of them are meals , they are called 'Meza' , Meza is a list of about 300 different kind of Lebanese appetizers (including homoss).
In other hand , Fattouch and Tabule are just salads.

I probably sound completely ignorant, but I'm curious.
How does Lebanese food taste? Is it like Indian food with lots of curry and other various spices, or is it something completely different?
Like I said, I don't know much about the Middle East, but I truly am curious.

hey- think of it as sorting the wheat from the chaff. You might have wasted time writing to these people for ages before you found out they were racist scum- much better to find out quickly and get rid of them.

Just tell them you're from Lebanon. If they are from or familiar with the U.S states of Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, llinois, Kansas, Missouri, Oregon, Pennslyvania, and Virginia they might think you are from one of those places 
Seriously, there are towns called Lebanon in each of those states. I looked it up. I've been in Lebanon Indiana and possibly Lebanon Kentucky. Lebanon, Indiana seemed to be a nice town

No, the Lebanese cuisine is much richer than that. Indian food almost taste all alike with their curry-based recipes and even much richer than the Italian/Moroccan cuisines which most of their meals are pasta-based.
Lebanese food have a great variety from very healthy pure vegetarian recipes to .....don't be shocked.....to raw meat recipes.
Lebanese cuisine can be compared to Chinese cuisine due to the great variety , it's unfair to compare it with the indian cuisine.

Well if it makes you feel better, my dad says Lebanese people have cool voices (in reference to Ralph Nader and Casey Kasem).

Sure, and I do not do that... I stop replying if the grammar is too bad or the person too creepy (or rude (for example he uses 'a/s/l' as one of his forst questions...), fundy, or f*ckt*rded, you get the idea). Also if the person is known from the channel, queries don't appear that scary

I didn't use IRC before so I really don't know people there
but actually, I stopped chatting to new people through any IM programs as I have been through some bad experiences, anyway I'll stop ask anyone a/s/l
