Food from Egypt

 Food & Cuisine from Egypt 🪔

Egyptian food is tasty and full of flavor, Egypt's gastronomy is very varied becouse of the geographical position, that allows African and Mediterranean cuisine to mix. 🌍

Typical Dishes:

1.Koshari 🍝🥙

            A mix of pasta, rice, lentils, and tomato sauce. Very popular and cheap It is an         incredible dish and is usually sold in most street stalls.

2. Ful Medames 🫘🧃

           Cooked fava beans, they are usually eaten for breakfast.

From my point of view, I find this food too heavy to eat for breakfast, but there it was a custom and almost everyone ate this for breakfast.

3. Molokhia 🫛🥦

           A green soup made with jute leaves. It is usually served with rice. I didn't like this dish very much, personally it reminded me of vegetable puree but with unique spices.

4. Taameya 🥄🧆

           Like falafel, but made with fava beans, It is very similar to another dish called falafel, but this one is made with fava beans. I would say that this was one of the dishes that I liked the most, and it was not very expensive either.

5. Hibiscus Tea (Karkadeh)🍵☕️

     Karkadeh is a drink made from dried hibiscus flowers. It can be served hot or cold and has a sour, fruity taste. It’s also known for its health benefits, like lowering blood pressure, I really like Karkadeh, It’s refreshing and a nice alternative to soft drinks.

Another recommendtaion is bread made in a traditional oven that i ate, It smelled delicious and tasted great with hummus and olive oil. Also be careful with the street stalls that you visit becouse you could get an infection that is why i highly recommend to buy pills that help with the digestion, in order to protect you stomach.
