戰爭主題餐廳亮相貝魯特 “火藥味”十足

At "Buns and Guns" you can order a "Kalashnikov" sandwich from a bullet-shaped menu, prepared by chefs in military fatigues with the roar of explosions as background music.

This new fast food restaurant in Beirut's southern suburbs was the brainchild of co-owner Ali Hammoud. He said the war theme was a novel concept that has nothing to do with Lebanon's recent history.

"It's just an idea I had, nothing more, nothing less. I could have put toys in place of the sandbags and teddy bears instead of guns. But it was just an idea," Hammoud said.

"You could say that the situation in the country made people pay attention," added Hammoud, sitting outside his restaurant, which has become popular with teenagers.

Guns, bullets and pictures of other weapons decorate the interior. The slogan "A sandwich can kill you", with a picture of a gun superimposed on a burger, is displayed outside.

Completing the war motif, sandbags surround the outdoor seating area. The menu features sandwiches and burgers with names such as "Terrorist meal" and "RPG", as well as "Kalashnikov".

"First time I came here, I thought it was a weapons shop. When I looked at the names of the dishes, I still thought so. I only realised it was a restaurant when I went inside," said 15-year-old Hussein al-Hajj Ali.

在“麪包與槍”快餐店，你可以從一份子彈形狀的菜單中點一份“卡拉什尼科夫衝鋒槍”三明治，這裏的廚師身着迷彩服，餐廳的背景音樂是“隆隆”的炮火轟鳴聲。

這家新開張的快餐店位於貝魯特南部郊區，這一頗具“爆炸性”的點子是該店合夥人阿里•哈穆德想出來的。他說，戰爭主題餐廳是一個新創意，但與黎巴嫩近代戰亂的歷史無關。

哈穆德說：“這只是我的一個想法而已，沒什麼其它的意義。我也可以把沙袋換成玩具，把槍支換成泰德熊。但這只不過是個創意。”

哈穆德坐在餐廳外接受採訪時說：“你可以說是國家局勢讓人們特別關注我們這家店。” 這家快餐店在十幾歲的青少年中很受歡迎。

店內裝飾以槍支、彈藥及其他武器的圖片爲主題。店外廣告上寫着“讓三明治幹掉你”，旁邊的照片是一個插着搶的漢堡包。

爲了凸顯戰爭主題，店外客座區周圍都堆滿了沙袋。菜單上三明治和漢堡的名字都改成了“恐怖分子麪包”、“火箭助推榴彈發射器”和“卡拉什尼科夫衝鋒槍”。

15歲的侯賽因•阿爾哈伊•阿里說：“我第一次來這時，我以爲是家武器商店。看到那些菜名時，我仍然這樣認爲。直到我走進去，才意識到原來這是家餐廳。”
