Food Poison

In honor of my food poisoning here is a list of some of the most delectable bits I’ve eaten while I’ve been here, aptly entitled, Food Poison.

Enscallop Sandwich. Whoever thought of this delightful creation should move to Iowa and put up a booth at the state fair. Americans would go nuts. Ready? It’s a breaded chicken patty, fries and ketchup rolled in a pita. Literally orgasmic. And at a price of .60, you could have them all day. 

Sheesh Tarok. OMM NOMMM NOMMMMMM. Fried bread. Chicken. Cheese. Enough said.

Stuffed Zucchini. Oil. Oil. Oil. And zucchini and meat and rice, slathered in more oil. It was made by my land mother and actually was quite delicious despite the copious amounts of oil used. I’m sure my arteries dislike me.

Shwerma. Any shwerma, every shwerma. Basically its shaved chicken with spices and pickles rolled inside a pita.

Falafel Sandwich. Spread hummus on a pita smush falafel and top with a cucumber salad and roll up. It is perhaps the most delicious and cheapest food you will find at .25.

Barely and Tomato Soup. Although it has nothing on my grandma’s homemade version, my land mother’s put an interesting twist by adding barley. It added a welcoming texture.

Pita. Well obviously pita is a staple, but let me tell you, there are a plethora of options you can have. Aside from the aforementioned sandwiches, you can dip it in a hummus, olive oil and chickpea mixture. Add Jelly. Spread Laughing Cow cheese over the top (very popular). Don’t forget about the olive oil and oregano mixture—also tasty. 

Egg McPita- Ok, obviously this isn’t a Jordanian Dish. It’s one of my own making, and I have been eating it like crazy. Scramble and egg, add some deli meat. Melt some cheese. Stuff inside pita, and enjoy!
