Egyptian cuisine

 

Most Egyptians are Muslims so they don’t eat pork. Instead of pork, they use to cook beef, mutton, chicken and dove. Among them they prefer mutton. Seafood is very famous in Egypt because Egypt lies the Mediterranean sea and Red sea. The way to cook fishes is almost grilling and frying.

 

Bread is also their main food like rice for Asian. There are various kinds of bread in Egypt. Especially ‘Shaamy’ is the most popular bread, which is similar to ‘Naan’.

 

Their dessert is very special. The most common thing is ‘Muhalabiya’, which is made of rice and milk. They usually enjoy tea (they call ‘Shai’). It doesn’t have milk and sugar. It is just plain tea flavored with mint leaves.

 

Before eating, they say ‘Bismila’. It means ‘in the name of God, Allah.’
