Cairo Courses

"And now with some favorite recipes from our Master of Disaster, Gracie Heavy Hand," or so the script from my favorite Canadian radio show goes, The Dead Dog Cafe (now Dead Dog in the City). Alright, bismillah, let's get cracking on the food that makes people's mouth's water in Egypt!

1. Koshari.
It's scary, looks like a combination between cookie/cream ice cream, chickpeas, and little black pebbles, and is highly under rated. It's like the perfect food, where a whole bunch of things looking not so good turn out to be amazing.

Verdict: Mouth watering.

2. Tomatoes
Okay, to the people who started reading this blog at the beginning, you'll know that we won the Best Customer Award there and everything, but after a while, it just started to go down in our rankings. Probably eating Chicken Foukasha sandwitches isn't the most well rounded meal anyways.

3. Ustadh Ibrahim's Chicken Supreme

This one is from Ameer's teacher, Ustadh Ibrahim, trying to convince, or perhaps dissuade, Ameer from cooking at home. I guess it's up to the reader to discern his true intentions.

1. Buy a chicken.
2. Cut the chicken.
3. Put the chicken in a pot full of water.
4. Boil the chicken.
5. Test whether it is cooked or not with a fork. If red stuff comes out, not good.
6. Add salt.
7. Serve.
8. Eat.

While the first 7 steps seem very simple and easy, I somehow doubt the last one is.

Alrighty,

Wasalam,

Mustafa.
