Foul Mohammed Ahmed
Cairo, Egypt
The read// why locals go
Mohammed Ahmed serves the Egyptian breakfast in its truest form: foul medames, ta'ameya and bread hot enough to burn your fingers. Foul is fava beans cooked slowly and mashed with oil, lemon and cumin; ta'ameya is the Egyptian falafel, made from those same beans rather than chickpeas and fried green in the middle. Add pickles, tahina, salad and as much flatbread as you can manage, and the bill stays in single figures. The room is plain and functional, the turnover is fast, and most of the customers are on their way to work. This is the meal that actually starts the Egyptian day, eaten where Egyptians eat it, and it costs almost nothing.
