What was the first food you had that was distinctly Egyptian? I think mine was some sort of bread. I can't remember exactly what it was, it wasn't too great but I've moved on to enjoy a lot of the food they have now.

My first Egyptian meal in Egypt was chicken, rice, melokheya and bread. Loved it all. took me a few years to find out what the orange strips in the rice was though!!!

i love stuffed veggies like courgette and aubergine and cabbage

im hungry now!!

nefertari, you became so much Egyptian. being an Egyptian i guess my first meal was mum breastfeeding me. local Egyptian Milk. lol. can not judge how good it was but i am sure it was really the nicest meal .

Can anyone help me with a recipe for Koshari? I want to make it from scratch, including the bread.

Sorry that should have read Hawawshi not Koshari.

you can buy them frozen from Abu Ashara, you just need the bread and put them in oven for 15 mnts.

So am I! All these foods sound so good and I'm going to have to start copying some Egyptian recipes down and do a theme meal with them. I can't wait for that! I don't recognize courgette... what is it exactly?

Courgette is what nearly everyone else calls Zucchini
