This would explain the extraordinary prevalence of Lebanese hackers

I had no clue of the prevalence. A couple of us are here http://answers.yallastartup.org/ .

Haha, that's an awesome name.

We're successful because our moms send us lots of zaatar for the morning of a big pitch :).

Beans & rice, a worldwide staple. Calling this "hacker" seems like a stretch though.

Dumbing this down to just 'beans & rice' is a bit ignorant. In my culture alone we have at least 5 dishes with grain components that all taste vastly different from one another. As to the comparison, grains are often a more 'practical' type of food as they're cheap, have a long shelf life, and are quite diverse, possibly making them more appealing hackers.

I meant no disrespect here - as I mentioned beans and rice are enjoyed world-wide, in all manner of different styles. I count a few varieties among my favorite food combinations. Thanks for sharing.
