The story of koshary being introduced to egypt by indians turned out to be a myth, koshary was an ancient egyptian dish originally made of lentils, chickpeas, onions and tomato sauce, and then rice and pasta were introduced in different eras

Most of these foods I know about. I am an Armenian and I know most of these dishes. They are Al most the same. I love the desert. We don't put the cream inside, but I sure would love to taste is. I'm a meat lover and the first dish is one of my favorites, again, it's similar but different, There is nothing better than a dish with lamb cooked all day till it falls off the bone.. I am wanting to try everything except for the vegatarian dishes. That fish looks fantastic

[@igotapochahontas]

Do Egyptians make a version of tabouli? I make it all the time with different spices. I'm curious what their version would b like 🤔

[@mizuozman2028]

It’s called “Salata Khadra” and it tastes better than tabouli imho.

The traveler and Orientalist "Richard Burton", the evangelist of origin, famous, famous, famous and famous in the year (1853 AD) a crazy adventure and claimed a fair and a city and a city, and he participated in this project. And of course, Egypt was taken through Suez to reach the Hijaz The important thing is that he documented his journey in the book "Pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina" in 1855 CE And he tells about the period in Egypt. "And when the sun rose, the people of Suez ate their breakfast, which in the summer consisted of a pie. In the winter, the breakfast regiment, which is a dish of (koshari): lentils, rice, ghee, and onion slices cooked over a low heat or pickled lemon. And this is before the British occupation of Egypt

Yes. your so right. Love middle eastern food. Most of this is new to me or prepared different than in other counties. I'm looking up Egyptian food in Pittsburgh right now. I'll be watching for the rockenest falafel sandwich in your aria.

[@RockstarEater]

Let me know if you find an Egyptian restaurant in Pittsburgh.

[@pottersjournal]

@@RockstarEater We have a wealth of middle eastern but it narrows to two when looking Egyptian. The Isis sounds promising with two brothers and mom in the kitchen. Except for the pigeon and the lamb shank they had 8 of your top 10. Got to try the ful medames, koshary masri, the samboussa sounds good, they had an okra or pea tagine and how could I pass on a fava bean falafel.

[@wls6788]

You didnt mention stuffed vegetables, we call them "محشي" it translates to "stuffed" you basicly take raw rice with some greens and stuff some peppers or grape leaves or cabbage, and cook them in tomato sauce until the rice is done, Its my favourite dish, you should've included it, also you misspelled alot of the food names, fattah is spelled "fa t-tah", hawashi is spelled "hha waw she".

Nothing with tomatoes can be considered traditional outside of Latin America. Tomatoes, corn, Chiles, beans, vanilla, sugar cane, chocolate, peppers, maybe even tabaco all came from the Americas. Mostly Mexico.
