Changing the spelling of the dish does not make it an entirely different one, it’s still an Arabic word. Lebanese to be specific. It’s not a “cousin” of tabboule (which hints that they have co-existed in different regions at the same time), rather it is indeed a french version inspired by Lebanese tabboule following the huge Lebanese diaspora in France. It’s not personal i love your blog, but food is political, especially during these times.

In reply to Skye_Leap. Much appreciated! I just had some of this Taboule for lunch this past weekend, so I can't help but very much agree!

In reply to Holly. Hi.thanks for the recipe. We have a large family gathering this coming weekend and I hope to make it then. French often use this as part of a plate of crudites. N France you can get it in a packet, which comes with a small packet of oous cous and a can of the vegetable/ herb mixture. You just add them together in a salad bowl, stir and refrigerate for an hour and they presto.

In reply to Barros. You are right, and I did mentioned that what the French call “Taboulé” is more of a loose-adaptation from the authentic Levantine “Tabbouleh” (in first paragraph). Thank you for adding more details to the recipe background :)

I’m afraid taboule (tabbouleh) is not a French dish, but Eastern Mediterranean. The reason why it is so popular in France comes from the fact that they have very large Algerian and Lebanese communities. I think it would be nice to add this information to the recipe’s background so that people won’t wrongly mistaken this as a French dish 🙂

In reply to Pablo. It's delicious with grilled meat and fish, or just as is for an appetizer!
