Egyptian snacks

Pleasant surprise: Chicken-flavored potato chips are really good.

Disappointment:
Cumin-flavored pretzels taste just like regular pretzels.

Also I should note that every Egyptian wine-- red, rose, or white-- tastes like cooking sherry (and the beer is a little underwhelming here too. Not a big nation of drinkers).

Key K&J, I feel like I've been entombed myself at work for past month, but am following your blog now. Sorry to hear Theban beer has declined in quality these past 1000 years.

Hurray!

Wow, it looks very brown. Hmmm maybe because it's a desert. Why do they have chicken chips everywhere in the world but in the States?

Fun pictures!
