THE FOOD BLOG.

Alright, I promised this long ago, but FINALLY here is the blog of delicious food we enjoyed in Cairo (and elsewhere in Egypt)

An awesome place in Maadi provided the gents and I with these insane burgers:

ALEX TOP! This was by far my favorite place...and SO cheap. I'm talking 6LE or $1 for a meal.

                                  

Rice Pudding

Chicken Tagen

MORE rice pudding!

This is what a basic meal in Egypt looked like: rice, soup, chicken, bread, beans. OH. And did I mention you get all of this for about $2.50?

         

yeah....that's half a chicken you see on that plate.

JUICE: Egyptians love freshly squeezed juice. no added sugar, completely natural and delicious. They have everything! I've tried watermelon, orange, mango, pineapple, guava, apple and a bunch i've never even heard of before.

double fisting the lemon and watermelon juice

the juice stand!

Euro Deli:  okay i failed to get a picture of Euro Deli food...this would happen. But they served the basics like Shawerma, an American style breakfast and my personal favorite, Tartine chicken with fries.

          

This is food from another place, but it's pretty close to the type of thing you could get at Euro Deli.

ALF LEILA: This was another favorite place of mine. You could pick out different things you wanted (moussaka, shakshouka, salad, baba ganoush and other random things) then grab some bread and dip away! It doesn't look like much...but let me tell you. This sort of thing filled you up. OH and it was less than one dollar.

GOAL: okay, so I didn't eat here all that often. This is mostly a shisha place where we went and drank tea, smoked shisha and played Backgammon. But, it was one of our favorite places to go...so I got a picture anyways.

Alright...well that's what i got for food! Sorry I didn't post about shawerma, falafel, or foul..which are standard. But, honestly, I didn't eat that too much unless I was on campus. So, if you want to know more about those...feel free to comment/ask! love ya!
