...intimate, and the tables small; each is graced with potted herbs in lieu of flowers. The menu is simple: design-your-own salads and crepes, which makes a nice change from pita and hummus. For those with a sweet tooth, the nutella crepe is divine and the Black Forest cake oozes with caramel and chocolate. English and Jordanian Arabic is spoken here, as this is a popular destination for locals and expats alike. Don't plan to stop in on your way somewhere else.

So-called simple carbohydrates, those found in white bread and cake, are so quickly digested by the body that they trigger a very rapid rise in the levels of glucose in the blood. The pancreas releases a massive amount of insulin to mop up the excess. Soon enough, however, blood glucose levels plummet to the point where our brains may feel woozy, we become excessively hungry and are driven to eat again.
