- All over Egypt you will find foul carts and ta'amiya, locals crowded around these little street stalls devouring freshly made bread, cooked beans, fresh salad and chickpea patties before heading to work. But what exactly is foul and ta'amiya? Come along with me and my crazy Egyptian friend and discover the most commonly eaten breakfast in Egypt. #egyptianfood #egypt #cairo #cairofood #travel #travelvlog #traveling #travelling #travelegypt #solotravel #solotraveler #solotraveller #pyramids #pyramidsofgiza #pyramidsofegypt #sphinxcat #backpacking #backpackingadventures #backpackingtravel #backpackinglife #backpackingtips #backpackinggear #streetfood #street

this meal in the morning gives Egyptian people especially hand workers a strong power..that they can transmit the pyramid from Gezaa to zamalek !!😄💪
I grew up eating Foul Madames almost every weekend. My mom made it simply with feta cheese, onions, lemon or lime, salt/pepper, and extra virgin olive oil. SO GOOD!!
Haha yeah it's good with feta cheese and onion! I put that into my foul one day and my Egyptian bf was like "what are you doing?!" 😆But it was really good.
I just finished a late breakfast of foul madamas. Was introduced by an old boyfriend who’s from Cairo. I keep cans off fava in my cupboard. A favorite, easy to prepare, breakfast. Fresh lemon is key..in my book..squeezed on top of of the finished product. I use whatever herbs I have growing on the window sill along with a lot of garlic and EV olive oil. I keep pita in the freezer for just such an occasion. Yummm. So many recipes of great dishes that start with fava beans though they’re unavailable at the grocery store in Tennessee. Instead I order online with a subscription. I’m sure dried would be better but too much time & trouble. (The best ones, if from a can; are the small ones.) As my Irish mother might have described it as a ‘stick to your ribs’ kind of breakfast.
I love spicy food. Yum yum yum! Everything looked delicious.
Very good. Not too spicy but after adding the one from the table, perfect.
I7ò
food looks delicious
You’re great I am coming to Cairo Egypt in March 2023 my daughter is taking me for my 78th birthday I wish I could meet you and you tour us in Cairo and other places that I want to see 😻😻😻😻
That's awesome, you're going to love Egypt! You know, I am working on setting up a site to offer tours, I'm hoping to have it available soon. I would love to show you ladies around! ❤
Love your content and your smile. Keep it up ☺
Thank you Tom Yum! I really do love that username 😄😋
Alex is the coolest Egyptian...
Heheh, yeah he's a pretty cool cat
I will be in egypt for the first time in 5 days, my itinerary will be Alexandria, Cairo, Luxor and vice versa.. It would be nice to meet you somewhere 😀
Thanks for watching my videos! I do like meeting people who watch the channel, but I honestly don't know if I will have the time, as I have been very busy with work lately. But welcome to Cairo! Where are you from?
@@Gventures it doesn't matter but thanks for the reply, i'm from Italy 🙂
@@tinyhipster843 Well send me a message on IG: mygventures when you're here if you want, I may have some time to meet up, ya never know
Super Video. Danke
❤❤❤❤
Is it like refried beans? The fries look awesome. Fried potatoes are a delicacy when I'm far from home.
Kind of similar. Egyptian street food is great
This made me hungry. Reminded me of my Palestinian uncle in the kitchen.
That's awesome 😅 When my videos remind someone of their family. Hell yeah.
I'll be visiting Egypt in October 2024; therefore your videos are coming handy. Thank you for providing them for us. One question: Although food looks very tasty have you ever got sick from the food sold by the street vendors? If you get sick where do you go for medicine/treatment?
I have actually never gotten sick from the street vendors, although I know some foreigners visiting have. But then again, I also know tourists who have gotten sick from nice restaurants. I, in fact, have only gotten food poisoning one time here in Egypt, and it was from ordering Domino's Pizza 🤣 But I have eaten Domino's other times and not gotten sick. It is always a bit of a gamble, you never know where or what will make you sick, haha. Thankfully, there are pharmacies that sell ALL kinds of medication that can help you with that. They are very cheap, and no prescription is needed. Thank you for watching mahmutlevent, I hope this helps, and welcome to the channel, and Egypt! 🥰
@@Gventures thank you so much for the prompt respond. I'll be watching your videos. Best.
Hola Giselle, thank you so much for this video. I am hungry now.... hahaha,,,, I will try next time in Egypt...
Great video , how safe is it to eat street food in Egypt ? We will be in Egypt on 26th of Nov and just afraid of getting food poisoning 😅
Thanks for watching! Honestly, no idea how to answer that. I've never gotten food poisoning from eating the food in Egypt, but I have met other foreigners who have. Do you have a delicate stomach? I eat with reckless abandon when I travel, I love eating street food and accept the fact I may get sick while doing so sometimes. I have not once gotten sick from eating in Egypt, but like I said I met quite a few other people who claimed they were sick from eating street food here. I also ate whatever I wanted in India while I was backpacking for 3 months, and only got sick once. So maybe I have a strong stomach or have built up that tolerance over time, I dunno. I think it's going to depend on where you are from, what you are used to eating, if you typically eat a lot of street food or food exposed to the elements, etc. As a rule of thumb I also usually try to eat at busy food carts, that way I know the food is fresh because there is a high turnover. If the cart has no customers, the food is just sitting there and flies are buzzing around, maybe skip it.
This guy is professional tho 😋
Hey first viewer 😅
WOO HOO 🎉😂❤
Lol. Hey Jennifer! Thanks for being the first lady!
@@Gventures have a good day Chica 😘
@@jenniferstanley6113 w inti kaman
Could you have ordered in English? Would they understand? or calls me idiot!!. We are visiting October 2024 and first stay is walking distance from Talaat Harb square. Learning our way around watching your videos. Great work. Few more names and streets please.
Ahaha, they won't call you an idiot. But I don't think many street vendors can speak a lot of English, most people traveling around the world and eating street food might just point to what they want and hold up fingers to indicate how many they want.
🌹💚🌹💚🌹👌🏾
The vender touching the money and the food 😮
Good flavor
# cleanse
Don't travel to Egypt, India, Pakistan, Vietnam, Nepal, or a dozen other countries around the globe if that bothers you 🤣
@@Gventures I want all this countries but I choose clean restaurants like in Egypt khoshri abu tarek
@@bushihab7325 Ah okay. I like street stalls and vendors which are typically not the cleanest, but very local. Abou Tarek is good of course, but I like eating at street vendors as well
Is Alex the same guy in the Coptic Vlog?
Yep. In videos when I cut my hair, went for breakfast, and in the Coptic vlog. He's a friend since I arrived to Egypt
❤️
🔥
Where are the pickled eggplants?
It must came with the order 😂
and Tamia of course
I let Alex order 😄 But they don't sell taamia here, it's just ful at this stand
I love foul
Same
Parents are Egyptian, I live in Ca, I go every year or 2. Thinking I should sell my assets and live in Egypt! Let’s connect. 3paulanthony
Is it safe ti eat there salads
t
This is really the authentic Egyptian breakfast but there is no Ta'amia which is very essential in the Egyptian breakfast.
Lol yes but I did say many times in the video that there is no ta'ammiya at this foul stand, because he specializes in foul. It is a very popular cart in downtown and many people go here and only eat foul (because obviously he doesn't serve ta'amiya). I made another video about ta'amiya which I also mentioned many times in the video, so if you want to watch that you can ruclips.net/video/nXMtsUOiR6U/видео.html
In what street is the food stand? I will be in cairo and so want to try it.
It's off a street called Al Falki in downtown Cairo, VERY close to a hostel called Holy Sheet. If you go to the liquor store (called Bazar Sakara) right by Holy Sheet, you will see the stand (in the mornings-but not Friday or Saturday mornings, he isn't there then).
Lol😊😊
Why he didn't pay?
in Egypt see this a shameful act
And his name isn't Alex by the way
If you want to discover something or varios places you can text me i will be glad to meet you in Cairo
You are a nice person best wishes 🌷
We DID pay. Alex is my good friend and his nickname is Alex, many people know him by this name. I prefer to explore on my own or with my friends, thanks.
You gotta try the desserts oriental once.
Like what? I have tried a few (Kunafa, Om Ali, Qatayef, etc), I just need to make a video about it! 😄 What suggestions for desserts do you have? I am curious!
@@Gventures well, you'll see in these shops the following, basbosa, konafa, mahlbaya, besesa, and much more..
Dont forget to try zalabya and sawabeh Zainab (zainab's fingers).
The best place to experience all of those is domyat city if you are a travel adventurous hehe, also you'll find lots of them in cairo under the name of لابوار
العبد etc...
@@yawadyabolaaa5978 Yes I've been to many shops for pastries and sweets and seen a number of these items. Actually I have had Zainab's fingers! Lol but I don't think I will be making a trip out to Domyat City, that's quite a long ways to go for some sweets, and I already visited Port Said, which is kind of close. However I do intend on making videos about the desserts! There are a lot of them, and although I'm not a huge fan of sweets (more of a spicy, savory lover), these videos are definitely in the future.
@@Gventures looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos :")
First time hearing that a sweetie is not a fan of sweets..
Keep it up 💪
@@yawadyabolaaa5978 Well, Om Ali I like a lot. Thanks for watching and the suggestions Ya Wad!
Your Instagram link is broken :(
Hmm, no it's working. I just clicked on it and it took me there, and I've given it to other people and it works.
Great! Where is this place exactly?
In downtown Cairo near Talaat Harb and right next to Bazar Sakara alcohol shop
@@Gventures thank you much ❤️
Lol you give him 95 you didnt see 50 pound
Lol no I didn't, what you are looking at was in my other hand that I put away, and then paid the 45 😉
You were unlucky to try our fava beans at that cart. That guy isn't the best to serve fava beans downtown, adding that he is well-known of his bad behaviour and attitude. At 7:13 he insulted the old man for being somewhat poor. The worst seller to deal with customers let alone to be a front before tourists
A lot is wrong with this comment. First of all, I know this man and his cart and have been here many times, I decided to film on this day, but I like his foul and he is very popular for a reason. I live in Cairo and have had foul all over the city and country, I can say his foul is very good.
At 7:13 he did not insult the man because he was poor, he asked if he was stupid because he asked him several times if he wanted a bag and the guy wasn't answering clearly. I am not saying it was right or polite to yell at the man but he did not yell at him because he was poor, so don't lie.
Thank you for your reply! I'm terribly sorry that you aren't aware of the Egyptian culture as what happened from that guy's end towards the old man is utterly and explicitly a bad behaviour. You can consult any Egyptian persons on that part of your video and you will receive the same comment I previously added. In regards to trying the Foul carts, I'm sorry to say I have never seen you trying other, extremely famous, and more delicious Foul suppliers such as Foul Waheed and Sa'd El-Haramy. By the way, it is improper to tell that I was lying when it comes to such a topic as you aren't full aware of what is happening around as I, by my turn, can say that you are lying in favour of that person for unknown reasons. But, my religion and morals forbade me.@@Gventures
@@YasserMuhammad-bg8iv 🤣I am with my Egyptian friend in this video who informs me of many things (as does my bf who is Egyptian and all my friends in Egypt-I've been living in Egypt for 2 years now), don't try to pull the "you aren't aware of Egyptian culture" card simply because I am a foreigner. I didn't say it was good behavior, I said he didn't act that way because "he was somewhat poor" as you claim.
I don't need to consult Egyptians because I am WITH an Egyptian when I film this video, and I will say again I live in Egypt, all my friends are Egyptian and so is my bf. Just because I don't make a video about me trying other foul carts does not mean I am not eating at other places. My God, do you think I have only eaten foul one time, do you think I make a video about every single day and every single time I eat? 😆 It is not improper to say you are lying when the foul cart vendor clearly did not insult the man "for being poor." Yes he insulted him, but not for the reasons you say, so that is a falsehood and a lie. You can imagine whatever you would like, it is clear in the video to anyone that speaks Arabic that is not what he said, and what you are saying does not even make sense. How can I lie when everything is clearly shown in the video? I could have cut that part out, edited the video and not shown that. I am a very transparent and honest person and show my whole experiences, and the proof is there in this video. But nice try 😆
Utterly misleading and misguiding response. It doesn't even worth replying as I told you aren't aware of our culture and you just proved it by telling that you are getting you impression from 2 other persons who transfer their own understanding, which is explicitly ill. In lieu of denouncing that ill-behaved person's behaviour, you are trying your best to justify it, what a pity! You aren't honest at all! You are just and normally confirming that it, I can't say "he", insulted an old man but not because he was poor. Do you even listen to yourself?!!! Kindly spare me your goofy response. End of story@@Gventures
@@YasserMuhammad-bg8iv Not worthy of responding yet here you are still responding 🤣 If you don't like my videos or my opinion on the matter, you don't need to watch or comment. You and 7.9 thousand other people (including many other Egyptians) have watched this video and only you made this comment, so perhaps it's your opinion and impression and not just me and 2 other people 😆Spare me your self-inflated opinion on the matter, your ridiculous notion that I am not going to respond to any comment I want on my channel, and if you don't like it, then you can stop commenting. End of story. *Edit: I see you deleted your last comment to which I replied to with this comment. Lesson learned 👍
The sentence that the bean seller said, and Alex refused to tell you what he said, he cursed and insulted the man and said to him, Are you an idiot? The man was stupid in true that's why Alex laughed
Lol yeah I know that now, Alex told me after and also my bf translated it for me again when I was editing the video 😂
Do you call this breakfast? 🤔
You should visit Turkey, you should have a real breakfast
I have been to Turkey, I enjoyed their breakfast too. But I really love foul and falafel. Why do you like to talk so much shit man? Enjoy other places and appreciate their differences. Your comments really make you sound like an unpleasant person, I hope I am wrong.
I just arrived there now to get my breakfast, but I found the cart empty/closed 🥲😕
Yeah it's Friday. They are not open on the weekend (Friday and Saturday) in Egypt
Yea I thought that too, and I found another Ful cart around.
I was planning to have a breakfast on a cart anyway😄I may check it again on another day @@Gventures
@@MoeTheNomad101 Glad you found another cart! There's a few around, but less on weekends since many people are not working compared to the work week, so less business for them. I love street food though. Try one of those smoked sweet potatoes if you end up passing by one of those carts! They're so good in the winter when the temperature begins to drop.
@@Gventures Yea that's true, I love sweet potatoes (as a hardgainer 😅) whether they're homemade or from those delightful carts on winter nights.
@@MoeTheNomad101 Yeah. Anything smoked is a yes for me, and those sweet potatoes are rich on the smoke flavor. Great on a cold winter's night. Stop at a nearby cafe after grabbing your patata and get a hot tea and eat. Perfect
