2. Egypt

The Egyptian breakfast of
ful medames has withstood
the test of time. Said to
date back to Ancient Egypt,
the earthy dish is made from
fava beans stewed overnight
and spiced with cumin, parsley,
onion, lemon, and chili pepper. It’s
served warm or cold and is often garnished with
hard-boiled eggs and served with a grainy slab of
Egyptian pita.
plantain (n.): plátano
slab (n.): bloque
3. Costa Rica withstand (v.): resistir

If you want to adopt the country’s “pura vida” spirit, you
must have a large plate of gallo pinto in the morning.
The stir-fried rice and bean dish is cooked with red
pepper, cilantro, onion, and a few dashes of the
country’s signature sauce, Salsa Lizano. Served
next to a side of eggs, avocado, plantains, dashes
or cheese, the rounded mound of gallo stewed
stir-fried
pinto looks adorably similar to the spotted Glossary on
chicken for which is named. pages 91
