100 Hours in Baghdad: Iraqi Street Food

Editor's Take
A hundred hours in Baghdad organize this feature, which uses food to explore a city at the heart of ancient Mesopotamia. From riverside masgouf to kubba, it treats the Iraqi capital's cuisine as a thread back to the region where cities first arose. The result doubles as a portrait of a place more often reported through conflict than daily life. It offers a rare, appetite-led view of a much-discussed city.
