It is so difficult for people to grasp just how deeply entrenched carnism is as an ideology, to the point that “orphan crushing machine” stories such as this are seen as somehow positive by most.

To clarify, I am not referring to the OP or comments on this post, rather the reception of these types of stories in general, whereas in the case of humans it’s very easy to spot the contradictions.

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.

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.

I can only read this in Yugopnik’s voice.
