Dinner in Abu Gosh
Saturday night we had our last dinner as a class in an Arab village near Jerusalem. They gave us a group rate and brought out absurd amounts of pita, hummus, chicken kabobs, rice and beans, salad…it was fantastic. And a perfect ending: mint tea (with real mint leaves) and Turkish coffee (though it was presweetened). Life was good.

From what I picked up of Turkish coffee from my Turkish class... it's ALWAYS sweetened. If you asked for it black they'd look at you like you were insane.
ReplyDeleteIt's not sweetened in Egypt. It's like mud, it's so thick with coffee grounds. And it's WONDERFUL.
