Egypt is a very exotic and beautifil country, a travel to Egypt can be a time of your life, enjoy the discount tickets and pack your bags!
As in any other culture at the intersection of several worlds, Egyptian cuisine has gathered all the ingredients of African and Asian cuisine, which best suit, the needs of people.
The food at the hotel, although well done, is not the true food that Egyptian people eat. To eat as an Egyptian, means that you must eat in the street. In addition, Egyptian food is a real gastronomic adventure. Eating in the street does not mean to queue at food stalls, but to eat food cooked by ordinary people. Moreover, Egyptian people eat very well. The meat is usually grilled or baked, whole or minced, predominantly lamb and chicken. You will see more cows, but they are seen by Egyptian people rather as farm equipment and not as a source of meat.
Shish Kebab is highly appreciated by any Egyptian and it always served with green salad and tomatoes, tahini sauce and bread. Therefore, you can create your own sandwich if you wish. Egyptian bread is always made of wheat; it is large, round, spicy and delicious when it is fresh, ant just taken out of the oven. Often Egyptian bread with sauce, tahini or babaganoush, is consumed as a snack, a sort of fast food delicious and healthy.
Egyptian people consume many tomatoes and they are usually very aromatic and colourful. Egyptian traditional tomatoes salad is made of sliced tomatoes, coriander, mint, small hot pepper (not jalapeno but similar to it) and onions, plus garlic oil. It is wonderful for the digestion, but it gives an awful breath. Other vegetables consumed by Egyptian people include beans, which are consumed even for breakfast, boiled or in the form of stew or flaked and turned into pasta for humus and tahini among large amounts of garlic.
Mashed eggplants are the main ingredient in babaganoush, but also in an Egyptian dish made of vegetables and meat, with cheese. Hibiscus, cabbage, cauliflower, and potatoes are very commonly used in the Egyptian cuisine, served as stew with tomatoes and garlic. Rice is a universal Egyptian constant and it is even served for breakfast.
The dove served as barbecue is delicious, as well as and other small birds, it has a strong taste, but it is easy to eat. Fish is found near the Red Sea. Egyptian fish is very spicy, without any oil in excess.
Of course, when we think of “the Orient,” we think of condiments. In Egyptian bazaars, you can find an amazing variety of spices, arranged in the form of pyramids very intensely coloured, from the yellow of the saffron to the ochre of the curry and the dark blue of indigo paint. The food is usually well seasoned, but not excessively spicy.
Egyptian deserts are not spectacular; you can find them even without taste, so you had better eat only fresh fruit instead of eating them as filling of unsweetened dough. You can find many bars with juices, and fresh orange juice, sweetened with sugar cane is heaven on earth on a hot summer day.
In a Muslim country, alcohol is not seen with good eyes and is very expensive for tourists. However, local beer “Stella,” not very alcoholised, without a very pronounced taste of beer and which is bottled in large bottles, it is ideal to appease thirst in the Egyptian desert climate.
