Never had Koshary, may have to try! But Ful Medames is shooting to the top of the list, I adore beans and I already love falafel, so that seems like an easy enough dish to love that I haven't had yet. Thanks!
I always liked how Koshary has all kinds of carbs: rice, pasta, lentils and you even eat it with bread (and your hands). It tastes great and with the typicall serving size, it's impossible to be hungry afterwards.
Interesting. I've never seen or heard about anyone eating Koshary with bread (or using their hands for that matter). Usually you'd just eat it with a spoon.
An upside with the dish is that you can control the carb/protein ratio by adjusting the amount of lentils and chickpeas compared to pasta and rice, for example.
Yes, Egyptians eat it with a spoon. When I was there we used bread because we shared this and other stuff and I enjoyed adding more carbs, because I was very hungry.
Egypt's national dish, Koshary. Uses lots of pots and pans so make sure you have a few (and probably someone to help you do the dishes).
Also, Egypt's most popular/commonly consumed dish, Ful Medames (Fava beans).
And, of course, Egyptian-style Falafel.
Falafel, my beloved

I thought fava beans only grew on Bajor
