Fooooooood and Drink Part II: Alexandria

I am going to put it out there, but Alexandria has the best food in Egypt! FACT!

From fish, sea food to good old fashioned Egyptian food Alexandria's restaurants, street sellers, coffee shops use the best and freshest ingredients to create some of the most delicious, and yet simple dishes we have ever had (Andy agrees)!

Take a look ....


Traditional Egyptian food: Vine leaves and Peppers stuffed with yummy rice!


A treasure chest of meat! From kaftan (lamb) to chicken shewarma, all cooking on their own barbecue!
Modelling with meat: Shamel, a close old friend


Sitting by Alexandria's fortress we stumbled across a Greek club serving some AMAZING sea food - calamari to die for!


Hand picked shrimp by Andy caught on the day!


1.6 kg of fresh fish (you can pick the one you want) served with lemon and oil 
Modelling with fish: Stephanos


Kosheri - street food, typically Egyptian, and costs nothing ... around 50 pence for a huge serving! 
Made up of: rice, spaghetti, past, chick peas, fried onions and tomato sauce, drenched in a delicious soup and hot sauce! You eat this and you will be comatosed! 


STEAK AND CHIPS! FIT!


Ice cream!


A cone either side of a lump of this fresh ice-cream ... not thick and creamy but light, fresh and milky.

Oh, me and a friend, close friend 
Modelling with me: Nagla

Egyptians, needless to say, know how to eat!
