Am I the only woman who is not into sweets? I don't like chocolate or ice-cream or the stuff you mentioned. I hardly ever eat that stuff. I don't buy it and I happen to accidentally consume it when I am visiting and get it offered (don't want to be rude).

Pass me the jar of pickles and the Tabasco bottle, that's my candy! I'm usually skinny BTW, but for a noble reason I currently look like a happy hippopotamus.

*raising her hand high here*
Mee,meee,MK...i've never been into sweets myself,not even as a child.Just like you,i dont even have them at home and only have maybe a scoop or piece of sweets when out to dinner or when at somebody's home and not to be rude.
On the other way,i just love salty/lemony flavors.

I wouldn't order it anyway when going there because I like their appetizers very much and I feel it's a bit ridiculous to fork over 16 LE for a dish you can get anywhere else for a few pounds. But I had it a few times when friends ordered from there and each time I was utterly disappointed. I found it extremely bland, it justed tasted like pasta with tomatosauce, very little garlic and not even remotely spicy! The kushari from any Abou xyz on the street tastes much better imo.

At the moment I have kushari from El Omda in the fridge – it's excellent.

I love fool too. But I also noticed that many Egyptians seem to think it's unhealthy and fattening; many people are surprised when I mention that it's a very healthy meal ...

I know, thus my comment! But you should tell your fellow countrymen and -women about it.

I agree, it's an excellent winter dish, especially if you add lots of fresh chilies.
