Fava beans an Egyptian stable..
I was told they even managed to get pig products in some famous super markets in Saudi but they were taken off right away.. it does make me worry a bit but still relatively easier to shop you know when I was in Egypt I constantly asked in restaurants if the food was Halal.. they had 'bacon' on the menu and I was outraged but they kept assuring me that not only was it smoked beef but that everything in Egypt is Halal. It is a relief to go from shelf to shelf and pick up products without having to look out for mono & diglycerides and Lecithin and gelatin etc. etc.
Not necessarily true, I'm afraid. There are varieties of confectionery that we are told by the manufacturers are not halal, on sale in Saudi, with the same ingredients. Also, the famous al-Baik chain of fast food shops (amongst others) import meat from abroad, and nobody can verify if it is halal.
There is no clear assurance as to how foreign products that get imported into Saudi are checked for their halalness.
You have to be as vigilant whilst there as you are here. Sorry to break the bubble.

they were surprisingly good, made me wonder why I buy them from stonewall kitchen at all if they're relatively easy to make and so incredibly filling..
These two are my favorite though..
Brother TT, I don't know where you get all these pics of tasty food, but dude, you are KILLING me right now...
Two hours to go here...

It is about 110 calories per serving.. I agree that people are fat in the U.S but I don't think pancakes are to blame. It is the large quantity, the frequency and the types of foods.. people can substitute doritos for carrot sticks or even granola bars but they prefer processed cheese with a hint of pig over dry tasteless chips.. I don't personally understand why but they have to fill whatever void they have with food..

anyhow I recommend indeed the apple cinnamon and coconut pancakes both are a personal favorites and couple them with real syrup not corn syrup with so-called maple flavor.. or use coconut syrup or apple cinnamon syrup etc etc..
these are very good but check them out at amazon.com they have them cheaper there at times with free shipping..
Well not just the food, but also because we've become lazy. I include myself in that category. I hate exercise and avoid it whenever I can. Such has become the mentality of most people in the USA.
Anyway, I'm going to look around for some of those pancakes. I haven't had any good ones in a while...
