My nephew introduced khosari to me when I was in Egypt. I loved it ever since. He told me, why eat pizza when you are already eating it in your country? Eat what the locals eat, then you realize you've been travelling. So, goodbye pizzas, hello khosari...
I saw this when it was first uploaded in 240p wayyy back then...and am enjoying it even more in HD...hope the other episodes of this amazing series will be re-uploaded in HD soon too...Montreal, Kingston, Osaka, Zanzibar, Lima, Penang, Mumbai, San Sebastian, Fez, Palermo, Beijing...can't wait!! Thank you aljazeera :)
Egypt, that great Country that has such a milennial rich heritage, the bread I'm sure its pita bread, we made from a recipe shared by a Lebanese lady, it is so good and I like seeing the bread puff up, corn tortillas also puff up even if the corn hasn't any yeast. Maybe when I go to visit Cairo, the people will have Egyptian corn tortillas, this way compare which is better, lol....Interesting upload and thanks to you Al Jazeera English for bringing this IRIE upload to UA-cam for all to view. :)
I tried Kushari for the first time about 3 weeks ago, in a local restaurant, and I must say i fell totally in love with it. It's hard to imagine something so 'disparate' in flavors :lentils, rice, macaroni, fried onion etc., could be so yummy. I went back again to that restaurant and tried the slow cooked faba beans and oh my goodness... It was yumm. I do love beans so it was easy for me, but still... I don't think i'll ever go to Egypt as I have other places i want to see first, plus i don't like how the (Christian) Zabaleen are treated.
The fresh molokhia is sooooo yummmmy too although it isnt street food it is a staple dish in egypt it is soooo good you can find it in america jist go into arabic store and look in the freezer section....anyways egypt is full of really wonderful ppl they are the best of arabs
Since the population there is increasing but their ability to provide food remains the static, its a natural consequence that the food prices will continue to rise...
Government always has a way even if they tell you they don't. They literally control everything. How about we start putting more intelligent and non greedy people in government in control
Egyptian food is absolutely delicious. Go local local local. Try Foul, tameya (falafel), moulikaya (divine), hawoushi, pepper maashi, wara aynab, koshari, fatta I will finish, I'm getting hungry. Sorry abt spelling. Shokran 😁
I live in California and I learned to make both Foul and Falafel because no restaurant makes the first here anymore and all the restaurants use a "just add water" commercial mix for their falafel and it is HORRIBLE.
@@littledikkins2 Ah,....different here, since we have a Lebanese presence here, falafels, pita bread, pita chips, jocoque(sour cream?)and hummus are sold by two major competitors, both Lebanese in origin and they are so good, they've even begun making hummus with jalapeño pepper! lol...
I agree the solution is corn not wheat. Corn is the staple of most of Central and South America and does extremely well in heat and drought. It produces twice as much yield per ton than wheat. I actually prefer corn tortillas over flour tortillas. A flour tortilla is very similar to pita bread or naan for a point of reference. When you make corn tortillas they actually have a better flavor. That is the solution in Egypt but I don't know if Egyptians will be able to change their diets like that.
I can never eat street food in Egypt because their hygiene level is zero. Even their high class restaurant is with prayers, if not you end up with food poisoning. To me, Egypt is still one of the best countries. I love Egypt
There three main problems in Egypt: 1. High birthrate without new industries to support the bulking population 2. Government ignoring the problems of its citizens 3. Muslim Brotherhood terrorizing the government scared away worlwide investors
You can give a lot of the credit for number 3 to Obama's Arab Spring. It totally devastated Syria and much of Libya. Egypt came out only slightly better
هذا الرجل الذي يتحدث عن الحكومة لا يريد أن يساعد ، وربما هناك بعض الحقيقة لذلك ولكن الله يساعد أولئك الذين يساعدون أنفسهم ويبدو لي مثل هذا النوع الذي يريد الجلوس طوال اليوم ، وشرب الشاي والتحدث حماقة كبيرة
It said half the wheat they used is imported, and this has probably grown since this video was shot, though not by much. There were a lot of droughts world wide in 2015 that cut wheat production.
Corn is not THE solution for Egypt. It requires A LOT of water which Egypt cann't afford. I dries up the soil quickly. The country has to diversify its food production to lower its bread consumption ; try potatoe for example as there are many different kinds...
I was shocked when the reporter said the street vendor who made Egyptian £35 on a good day was equivalent to $7 , when I know that it's equivalent to $2. Then I saw the report was first made in 2008.
How can people only survive on bread I cant imagine a life without delicasy as in varanasi india In fact people in streets are able to earn 20 dollars a day if their fast food is tasty and that so very easily Alhamdulillah by the will of allah we are good
If you think Egypt has inflation you haven't seen Sudan, they have been under economic sanctions since 2001, thanks to Egypt of course who want Sudan week for their political and regional gain, Sudan can export its goods so it goes through Egypt who take of the label and put "made in Egypt" and sell it for 2 times more. Just a few weeks ago Egypt tried to bring back the sanctions with the best of its ability by arming darfurians (west Sudan) so that when the government retaliated and defends itself Egypt comes and says they are committing genocide. And for "um al dunya" all of Middle East knows that most Egyptians (not all) see themselves superior.

what I wouldn't give to have an egyptian resturant where I live. heck middle eastern food in general. its either americanized chinese, japanes, mexican and that's it. Oh yeah and pizza.
Egypt needs a strict birth control law, the only solution to fighting poverty, and in this way, Egypt will rise economically, scientifically and politically in all areas of life??? And the example is China, A renaissance in all areas of life after strictly birth control??
@Gopal bhagt The problem is inadequate infrastructure. If the government improves that, then food would get to every citizen without or with very little waste.

I grew up in Egypt and it was my job to get the bread daily which was made fresh, miss it so much.
Some of the best most delicious produce in Egypt. Ugh I miss it.

Bill Whitman clever idea, let's hope someone can change from wheat to corn
corn is for animals not humans. idiot
@@aaegatomondi what a foolish sentence you write
+sab maya No you are the idiot. Much of US, all of Mexico, and most of South America have corn as their staple.
@@billwhitman1326 agreed
Resourceful and beautiful people.
I like watching your documentry al jazeera. But please watch out for your subtitles. Traslation, look at 11: 12. Some people read!! But good work.
Bosnia always has a surplus of wheat and corn. They should start importing from Bosnia. Bosnians love to help out other people :)
2:42 the translator said "chilly oil" and this is wrong the oil from linseed "linseed oil" but egyptians call it "zeit har" it mean. "hot oil "
Egypt is still one of the cheapest
countries in the world . It is expensive as a price to income ratio .
The price of Oil and Beans sounded prohibitive!
There is great poverty in that beautiful country of Egypt. Sad
I ate there and would order koshary for take out too. I lived near Tahrir also, could hear the protests from the square.
Bread 🥖 is life and water is life.

At lease they can depend on the government unlike the Kenyans and other parts of countries in Africa they lean on each other.
The program did not mention where the Egyptians gets their flour from? Local flour or foreign?
It said half the wheat they used is imported, and this has probably grown since this video was shot, though not by much. There were a lot of droughts world wide in 2015 that cut wheat production.
egiptians needs to look at japan who doesnt have natural resources but through education and inovation they were able to develop
Corn is not THE solution for Egypt.
It requires A LOT of water which Egypt cann't afford. I dries up the soil quickly.
The country has to diversify its food production to lower its bread consumption ; try potatoe for example as there are many different kinds...

😫😫😫 my childhood all in 1 video
Unfortunately, After 7 years the situation is now much more worse
I'm eating Eish whilst watching this.
This bread is spent with the help of the state (subsidized), it is cheap
Is that in England?
With the help of foreign aid.
They need more birth control than bread
How can people only survive on bread
I cant imagine a life without delicasy as in varanasi india
In fact people in streets are able to earn 20 dollars a day if their fast food is tasty and that so very easily
Alhamdulillah by the will of allah we are good
Street food FLYING THE NEST
WAW that wa was adhnou hada araf masara oum adounua
Isn't Egypt forced to buy wheat from the west when they are more than capable of providing it themselves?
If you think Egypt has inflation you haven't seen Sudan, they have been under economic sanctions since 2001, thanks to Egypt of course who want Sudan week for their political and regional gain, Sudan can export its goods so it goes through Egypt who take of the label and put "made in Egypt" and sell it for 2 times more.

they need food but also need Birth control.
Egypt needs a strict birth control law, the only solution to fighting poverty, and in this way, Egypt will rise economically, scientifically and politically in all areas of life???
And the example is China,

That scrapped the one-child policy in 2017 as it's now suffering a demographic collapse.
