I finally found ONE Egyptian food place at the CBD! It was Shishtawook plate at the Bekya Getaway 🍗 🥙 🧡

I’m still on the lookout for any places that has my favourite hawawshi or molokhia. I miss Egyptian food so much :(

Feteer Meshaltet

Feteer Meshaltet is a traditional Egyptian dish made from thin dough that is filled with cheese, honey, or nuts, and then baked in the oven. It is a popular dish that is eaten on all happy occasions and celebrations, and it can be served as a snack or a main course.

The origin of Feteer Meshaltet dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was offered as a sacrifice to the gods. Many drawings and carvings have been found that show how Feteer Meshaltet was made in ancient Egypt.

Feteer Meshaltet is a delicious and savory dish that is loved by Egyptians. It is also a healthy dish that is packed with nutrients. Feteer Meshaltet is a good source of protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and iron.

In recent years, some countries have claimed that Feteer Meshaltet is their own, in order to steal Egyptian heritage and attribute it to themselves. These countries have not provided any evidence to support their claims, and they have not taken into account the long history of Feteer Meshaltet in Egypt.

It is important to remember that Feteer Meshaltet is an authentic Egyptian heritage, and that these countries that claim that Feteer Meshaltet is their own have no right to this heritage. We must defend our Egyptian heritage and protect it from theft.

The best cuisine to have when on a day trip from Hurghada

Hurghada, made possible by Egypt tours, has much to offer everyone, from stunning beaches and clean waters to a rich historical and cultural background. The diverse gastronomic options available in this beach city will also satisfy the most discriminating visitor on Egypt day tours. The best foods to eat on day tours from Hurghada will be discussed in this post.

Koshari is a traditional Egyptian dish that visitors to Cairo tours from Hurghada just must sample. This filling dish, which is made with rice, lentils, chickpeas, and macaroni, is completed with a spicy tomato sauce. Traveling Luxor tours from Hurghada allows you to sample it. The flavors and textures blend surprisingly nicely together, despite their odd appearance.

Egyptian Shawarma: Shawarma is a popular street food in Egypt that is a must-try for Cairo day trips from Hurghada. It is made by encasing tiny bits of grilled meat usually chicken or beef between pita bread slices and then garnishing them with pickles, sauces, and vegetables. It's an easy and sensible option for lunch on a Hurghada desert safari tour.

Tasbikassoulet: French stew, Egyptian technique

French stew, Egyptian technique: in which tasbika, a tomato-based cooking method, lends depth and richness to a vegetarian version of the French classic bean stew cassoulet. #recipe #FoodHistory #tasbika #EgyptianCuisine

The persistent prestige of French cuisine in today’s food cultures is hard to ignore. Even as the range of what food critics and gourmands deem ��good food” expands, the dominance of French techniques and aesthetics remains baked into the system. French methods and principles still dominate most of the world’s culinary schools and organize labor in the kitchens of countless restaurants.  I see…

oh may i politely ask just of pure interest if you have such dishes in arab culture too? i ask bc i know that sometimes there are common features in arab/turkish/caucasian culture and it's very interestning to find similarities

THE DOLMA

ITS ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOODS EVER ( except we call it warq enab = grape leaves )

I haven’t eaten Pastirma myself but heard the word alot in Egyptian movies/theatre. Also the Matnakash yess I love that too but it’s called Manaeesh ( close enough ? )

the matzpon and chruchkhela are unfamiliar to me though

#Ask #hey this is pretty cool #Tw food #culture #I think the overlap happens with Egyptian cuisine mostly

[aphelea]

i spend more time researching for throwaway lines than i do actually writing

#august rambles #nono yall researching egyptian cuisine is definitely very very important for this (<- is it though. is it really) #anyway now i want koshary #this happens for everything i write and it's slightly ridiculous

you are a 5'2" reincarnated ancient egyptian pharaoh (ATEM) eager to sample exciting modern new cuisines (AVOCADO TOAST AND MIMOSAS) but your engineering prodigy/F-15 pilot hobbyist boyfriend (KAIBA) is getting bored and restless waiting for all of your friends (RUNNING LATE, PROBABLY JOUNOUCHI'S FAULT) to arrive for your brunch reservation

[bidisastersanji]

The Old Guard x One piece AU got my brain going brrr and i'm gonna make it your problem now. Center of the matter is I want Zoro and Sanji to meet kind of like Nicki and Joe did (discovering their immortality by fighting on opposite sides and killing each other over and over and then becoming eternal lovers) so I went and did some research for the entire Straw hat crew. Main thing is I wanted to link them to historical events that will give them the right motivations and backgrounds! so here we GOOO

Sanji and Zoro: Because Japan has an isolationist past, the only battle I could find that would work is the Cagayan battles of 1582 in Jakarta between Spanish-Philippine forces vs Japanese pirates (a.k.a Wokou, which are basically pirate ronin) Sanji would thus be a reluctant "Rodelero" sent to South East Asia by his noble family (jokes on them he loves being in the middle of the spice trade and he hates being part of a noble family funding the conquistadores) who one day finds himself fighting a mysterious Wokou samurai Zoro. They're partly isolated from their respective camps when they first kill each other, and again, and again, until they realise they should by all means be dead but they keep healing. After a couple decades of -against all odds- running into each other everywhere, they reluctantly decide to try and figure out what the heck's happened to them together- struggling to communicate at first, then learning each others' language over the following decade, then falling in love and becoming inseparable. This makes Zoro and Sanji both over 400 years old, and they are the same age. Zoro learns about so many sword techniques and Sanji about different cuisines/ leg-centric fighting styles during this time.

all the other straw hats and their historical periods under the cut!

Robin as an Egyptian scholar who died during the burning of the Library of Alexandria in 48 BC/ was killed for researching something forbidden during the declining years of the Roman Period (early 200s) and found out she was immortal this way, making her around 2 millennia old. She spends her time recording history and traveling the world and encountering new cultures. Her long time enemy is religious obscurantism, and the Catholic church spends a lot of resources trying to kill her. (they have conspiracy boards about this immortal witch in the Vatican)

Brook: so ancient he doesn't remember much, other that he came from Kerma culture (2500 BC), loved music, and that his entire village had died from an illness, but he came back. His memory isn't great but if there's one thing he's loved in his Millennia of existence is discovering and learning how to play all the instruments that he could find. He mostly hangs in Vienna nowadays as a music teacher.

Jinbei is a Samoan chieftain from around 1000 BC who one day died during a battle with a Fijian chieftain. When he came back from death he assumed Tagaloa chose him. He loves navigating, sailing, exploring and going on voyages with his people. In more recent times (post european contact) he was forced to ally with the US Navy to protect his people.

Nami: Irish lass from around 800 who's coastal, tiny village was about to be raided by Vikings from Sweden. She made a deal with their chieftain Arlong to go with them and map out the British isles for them to help their raids be more effective and targeted, in exchange for not killing people in her village, and that she would make back the plunder they did not get from this town for them. She started to join their raids to try and make this money, but she died in battle. She came back and they believed her to be some kind of Valkyrie or Einherjer brought back to midgard. She took over the raider's leadership- also Norsemen always had women handle money, which works great here. During her time as an immortal she travels, seeks treasure, double crosses people etc.

Usopp a young double agent/CIA spy from the Cold War who died on a mission. He tragically could not return to his love Kaya because he was afraid of putting her in danger by revealing he was alive to the spies that killed him. He relocates and starts anew constantly, his entire life a web of lies. He's a great marksman/sniper.

Chopper died young of the Bubonic plague in medieval Europe. He resuscitated, tragically his father is infected as well and he's unable to save him- motivating him to get to the bottom of this disease, he decides to become a doctor. Looking like a 15 year old for centuries doesn't make this task easy and he has to hide a lot.

Franky is an American veteran of WWI who was heavily disfigured first, and died later (which is why he's not fully healed and needs prosthetics). He's heavily anti-government from having been sent to fight in such a meaningless war that sacrificed young men like cannon fodder. He learned to fix himself up and make prosthetics and masks for veterans, got into making tech stuff

Luffy is a modern, 21st century 20 something year old from Brazil's favelas. He dies in a gun violence incident (maybe linked to a drug war/gang war where he's been trying to protect his neighbourhood) and comes back, experiencing visions of others like him. He's resolute to find them and make a crew, thinking that with all of them together, maybe they can help liberate the world from opressors and inequality

#it's one am #but i couldnt stop #did all the research i could to match each straw hat with a nice historic period #one piece au #zosan au #zosan fic idea #one piece fic idea #zoro x sanji #i just want the star crossed immortal lovers with lots of lore and cool adventures as #new immortal luffy just goes around collecting these people who have no idea there's others like them #and them going around liberating people #like the scariest undying ten people army that they are #the old guard one piece au #the old guard au #immortal straw hats #straw hat crew #zosan

📍Cairo,Egypt.

captures the essence of Cairo, a city that stands as a testament to the enduring allure of ancient civilizations, blended seamlessly with the vibrancy of modern life. The Pyramids of Giza, guarding the horizon, and the enigmatic Sphinx offer a glimpse into the past, while the teeming streets and bustling markets pulse with the energy of today.

Within this sprawling metropolis lies a treasure trove of history, from the majestic mosques and grand museums to the serene Nile flowing gently by. Cairo is a city of contrasts, where the aroma of traditional Egyptian cuisine mingles with the call to prayer, creating a tapestry of sensory experiences.

Food discourse like that is a pet peeve of mine because it's natural that groups that have contact even the smallest amount usually has influence on both culinary traditions of both cultures.

Falafel has said to have originated in Egypt by Coptic christians for lent as a meat alternative and was gradually adopted by other cultures who had access to similar food resources. Syrian and Egyptian Jews for example of Ottoman Syria also made the dish.

Food origins can be controversial when they really shouldn't, as cuisines should be viewed as a gradient with no clear boundaries rather than something clearly defined by national boundaries.

Food should be a unifying thing and for centuries people have shared techniques and traditions and built upon them. It makes sense because we learn from each other from a culinary standpoint and food breaks boundaries because who doesn't like food?

I made falafel for a Lebanese cooking class and I have gotten falafel from a wide variety of places run by a large variety of people from different countries Egyptian, Israeli, Palestinian, Lebanese, Turkish, and so forth.

Not once have I thought that one shouldn't have made falafel because of their nationality. And even if you dislike politics of a country what gives you the right to harass someone who's main job is just making their culture's food

I dislike every government to some degree but I won't let that get in the way of enjoying food. I am critical of Erdoğan, but the turkish Family making the delicious simit bagels are not the ones to blame for Turkish government policy. Obwarzanki and Biały come from my country but i am going to argue who's delicious ring of dough is more valid? No, I have better things to do. (technically biały don't have holes and therefore aren't ring shaped but not the point)

Absolutely. Attempting to divide these things into completely clear cut discrete categories and suggesting that MENA Jews are appropriating the food they have always eaten, including dishes that are eaten throughout the region, because they live in a country you don't like is ridiculous. Regional food arguments are as old as food is, but this one is pointless.

Of all the dishes I’ve made for my family over the years, chicken and potato sofrito is probably the most popular, especially as the kids were growing up.

Sofrito is a Sephardi dish of meat (chicken, usually with the skin on, or beef chunks, seasoned with salt and pepper) and potatoes. It’s cooked for a long time on low heat with very little liquid. Traditionally, the potatoes are deep fried before they’re added to the meat. The occasional onion or root vegetable, such as carrots; squeeze of lemon juice; or pinch of cardamom and turmeric are added, but that’s about it. The slow cooking produces a concentrated sauce — the perfect example of a dish that’s larger than the sum of its simple ingredients.

And just to clarify: Sephardi sofrito should not be confused with the sofrito sauce of tomato, pepper and garlic that’s the base of many dishes in Latino, Spanish and Italian (where it is spelled soffritto) cuisines. Although, as we’ll see, all these versions are somehow related.

The word sofrito comes from the Catalan “sofregit” and Spanish “sofreír,” that mean to lightly fry something. According to Britannica.com, the origins of sofrito can be traced back to Catalonia, to a dish called sofregit. The dish emerged after new vegetables, such as carrots were introduced to the Iberian Peninsula by the Moors. The earliest recipe for sofregit appeared in the Catalan cookbook “Libre de Sent Soví,” circa 1324, and included onions, leeks, garlic and salt pork slowly cooked together. 

It’s only after “discovering” the New World that tomatoes and peppers were added to the mix, which resulted in the sauce that’s so popular today. But by that time, the Jews had been expelled from the Iberian Peninsula. With the expulsion from Spain, Sephardi Jews emigrated to North Africa, parts of Europe and the Ottoman Empire, bringing the basic dish of lightly fried root vegetables and meat with them.

Some moved to modern day Israel in the 15th century, and even more during the 16th century after the Spanish Inquisition. They settled mainly in Jerusalem, Tiberias (where they called the dish sifrito), Safed (where it was sometimes known as sofrita) and Hebron. More Sephardi Jews arrived in the 19th century, mainly from Turkey and the Balkans. 

“The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem,” a novel (and now a TV show on Netflix) by Sarit Yishai-Levi, follows four generations of the Sephardi Ermoza family in Jerusalem. Sephardi food descriptions are an essential part of the story, and among dishes such as hamin macaroni and biscochos, there is also mention of sofrito. 

“My mother Luna passed away shortly before my eighteenth birthday. A year earlier, while the whole family was sitting around the table for lunch as usual and she was serving her famous sofrito with peas and white rice, she sat down on her chair and said, ‘Dio santo, I can’t feel my leg.’”

Matilda Koen-Sarano includes two sofrito recipes from Jerusalem in her Sephardi cookbook “Gizar kon Gozo” (Cooking with Ladino Flavors, written in Hebrew and Ladino). The first is a simple beef shoulder sofrito with nothing but potato, onion, oil, salt and pepper, which is the most popular version of the dish in Israel today. The second is made with chicken thighs, potatoes and many spices and taste agents, such as tomato paste and garlic.

In another Sephardi cookbook from Jerusalem, “The Cook from Agripas St.” (written in Hebrew), author Aviva Ben-Joseph includes three sofrito recipes. They’re all, in fact, different types of beef stews cooked with very little liquid on low heat; none of them contain potatoes or other vegetables.

Sofrito was also eaten by Sephardi Jews in Egypt. Cookbook author and food historian Claudia Roden includes two Egyptian sofrito recipes in “The Book of Jewish Food” from her own family: one with chicken and one with veal. She writes that the potatoes were originally deep fried before they were added to the pot with the meat, but says that her mother switched to tiny boiled new potatoes when the family moved to London. (The Jewish community as a whole left Egypt after the establishment of the state of Israel.)

In my house, sofrito means warm, satisfying homecoming. My version is as minimal as can be, and really easy to prepare. I use skinless, boneless chicken thighs, potatoes, oil, turmeric, salt and pepper, but you can use any cut of meat and add other root vegetables to the potatoes. Since both the chicken and the potatoes need the same cooking time, about one hour, I can fry the potatoes in the same dish as the chicken, adding even more flavor to the potatoes, and saving a dirty dish. I hope you’ll give it a go; maybe it will become your own family’s comfort dish, too.
