our first taste of egyptian cuisine. identifiable: rice and noodles. unidentifiable: everything else. it looks like a mash up of whatever was found on the banks of the nile, but it tastes delightful. how to describe it? made with a tomato base, it is spicy but not overwhelming (a 3 at salah thai...haha). i think the different textures is what made it so special. the rice and noodles are soft, but there are crunchy bits mixed in too (think cornflakes). this culinary experience was enjoyed on a small, yet happening, side street in old cairo (straight out of aladdin). locals played cards and dominos and chatted about their days. we just watched and laughed and enjoyed our break from the bussle and comotion of downtown cairo.
have some kushari....welcome to egypt.
