Originally from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus">Nablus</a>, a Palestinian city apparently known for &ldquo;high cuisine,&rdquo; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanafeh">kanafeh</a> is one of those things that they just can&rsquo;t make fast enough. At one famous shop called Habibah in downtown Amman there is always a line, and it&rsquo;s even a bit stressful ordering there unless you know what you&rsquo;re doing!</p>
