Sobre esta Tip
Start the day with ful wi ta'ameya: creamy mashed fava beans beside crisp fava fritters, served at small counters with a few metal tables on the street, easy to find Downtown. Ta'ameya in Egypt is made from fava, not chickpeas, so it tastes greener than the falafel you may know. Order a plate or a flatbread sandwich with salad, pickles or tahini sauce, and eat early while the fritters are hot.
