Here is a post to change a bit from politics …

I must say everywhere i go in Lebanon, my friends take me to the best “forn” in town, that does the best man2ouche in the world and that is very popular and everyone from all over Lebanon go to that place ..

The latest one i tried today was “Furn el Saydeh” in Mansourieh which is apparently a very popular place, even though located in the weirdest locations and there is no way you can find that place alone, but i must say it was one of the best man2ouches i ever ate, so thumbs up for my friend who took me there :)

Its situated in Nahr el bared like streets lol .. Fatah el Islam could be hiding there for all i know hehe ..

Here is a lousy pic of the man2ouche, i was too busy eating it ..

    تمكن أهالي حي عين البرج في المنية، وبالتعاون مع فرع المعلومات في قوى الامن الداخلي، من القبض على أحد عناصر “فتح الاسلام” ويدعى عبد العزيز المصري (سوري الجنسية)، حيث كان متواجدا بالقرب من الشاطىء وبحوزته ثلاث علب “تونة” وحبوبا مغذية.)

    Mustapha,barke heik bitrou7 l2ablye!

    by the way, the emoticon I had in mind was a smile :) . It came out as a frown by mistake.. So don’t worry, right about food as much as you want!

  • 12. N10452 | September 16th, 2007 at 1:57 pm

    Well i hear some people find it offensive that others eat or talk about food during ramadan while they are fasting …

    Dont know if its religiously wrong though ..

    What a relief to read a post that isn’t political!

  • 34. tareq | September 18th, 2007 at 4:05 am

    I’m curious how much would the Lebanese living outside Lebanon pay for a man2ousheh from Lebanon? I’m not a businessman, I’m just curious :-)

    In Lebanon the man2ousheh sells for half dollar, how much would you pay to have it in USA?
