Wow, what a find! That pestle is seriously impressive. The kibbeh must be extra-fine.

We actually have a small collection of mortars and pestles in a variety of shapes and sizes, with each set dedicated to different ingredients or purposes – black pepper, chilli, rempah (spice paste for curries), pesto, garlic, ginger, lemongrass...

But we've never seen one for kibbeh, thanks for sharing!

I love this, Anissa--it's a lost or disappearing world and I'm grateful for the few who still preserve it, you included.
