It was summer 2003 I think. Big failures on both sides leading to some severe arse kickings.

Yeah, the problem these days with Muslim countries is like this. If 2 Muslim countries are fighting, other Muslims look if they're Shi'a or Sunni then Sunnis support the Sunni side of the conflict and vice versa. Look at Syria today, Sunnis are supporting the rebels while Shi'as are supporting the government. Although I support the rebels because Assad has proven himself to be a war criminal.

Yup! I had a T-shirt that had "Irish today, hungover tomorrow." never really thought of what it means until now. I wonder how many Irish people wanted to beat me up?:horsie:

I hate cooking!!! I think I might get Mrs Frogman to have a look at the recipe and give it a go.
The Scottish "diet" is very meat heavy hence why I say you can't be a vegetarian and Scottish.I joke of course, not all Scots enjoy meat.
The Irish love their alcohol!!
Of course u hate cooking, u're a man! I'm just kidding.:angel: Yeah sure! And if Mrs.Frogman failed somehow to find the recipe or couldn't find it, give me a hit! I have access to Egyptian sources and I can definitely translate for u just make sure to say "praise you Egypt for that delicious taste" after you're done.:cheers: .
A diet with meat? I wonder what a fattening meal would be?
I actually used to hear that best alcohol comes from Belgium or something...

That's Americans for you!
There will be no peace while the Taliban run free.
Yup yup! It really bothers me when the American government keeps shoving itself into everything and anything. What involves them and what doesn't especially when they talk about nukes and how it is a danger to life on earth and blah blah blah while they themselves are the only ones that have ever used that type of weapons (Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 1945).
Of course, even Muslims themselves can't stand the Taliban for the disgusting things they do. I wish someone just wipes of the Taliban and leaves not just replace the Taliban and puts their own regime.
I knew about haggis when I was a nurse in one of the private hospitals here. I had one Scotsman who was rather upset that we did not serve haggis, just because the name of the hospital is Gleneagles...
I remembered this because I had the audacity toask this Scotsman this question- Is it true that a true Scotsman will have no underwear when he puts on his kilt? His answer was simple and to the point- "Give me your hand, lad...". I took his word for it!

I found various recipes online, but they all seem slightly different?
I didn't mean diet as in losing weight, I meant that most of our meals are meat based.

A true Scotsman wears nothing under his kilt!
However, that does prove problematic on windy days, of which we have plenty of.
Like I always say, "let it hang out freely"! :lol:

Hmm...what does this haggis consist of?
Hahaha, "Give me your hand.." I hope that won't be the answer you get from most Scots. In my culture, if you ask this question and you got this answer, it's deeply offensive. That's manhood at stake, buddy!:cens:

None, they'll be too drunk!
I like how it is in Europe, you keep stereotyping each others and it's considered a joke and non-offensive I believe. In America if you say a stereotype about some group of people, you have to explain right away that you're not being racist and that racism is horrible. It's a little sensitive in here.

Different in what? Koshary is Koshary. Different in the sauce or the actual ingredients?I found various recipes online, but they all seem slightly different?

Oh, most of our food is also beef based. But, not too many people eat beef because it's quite expensive in here. You know, our country got way too crazy during Mubarak's age. But, with pride we took him down!!:box:

Of all things nice!
Mainly sheep's pluck (heart, liver and lungs); minced with onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and traditionally encased in the animal's stomach and simmered for approximately three hours.
Always served with neeps (turnip) and tatties (potatoes).
A la:
Although I'm rather partial to a haggis sausage supper. Fries and a haggis sausage deep fried in batter!
I only extend that offer to young ladies! :lol:

Yeah, we enjoy banter between nationalities. On the whole it's non-offensive, but there are some who take it one step too far.
I've always struggled with the American humour or lack of it!

Different in the ingredients used. Not too sure which is a genuine koshary?

They do have certain types of jokes in America but it's just not my type of humor. But some of it can be funny.

I got it...
Ingredients:
1 cup Rice,
1 cup Macaroni pasta,
1 cup Lentils,
2 table-spoons Oil,
1 Onion (chopped finely),
2 to 3 cloves of Garlic, minced,
2 cups Tomato sauce,
1/2 to 1 tea-spoon of Pepper flakes,
Salt and pepper (depending on you),
Oil for frying,
1 Onion, sliced thinly.
Method:
- Cook the rice and 2 cups of water in a covered pot until done, about 20 minutes. Cook the macaroni according to package directions, or until al dente. Simmer the lentils and 2 cups of water in a covered pot until tender, 30-45 minutes.
- While the rice, pasta and lentils are cooking, heat the olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent and wilted, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the tomato sauce and pepper flakes, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, add a little water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
- Heat about 1/2-inch of oil in a heavy skillet. Add the sliced onions and fry until they turn brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
- Place the rice, macaroni and lentils in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and stir together gently with a fork. Portion the mixture into individual bowls and spoon some tomato sauce over each portion. Top with crispy fried onions and serve hot or at room temperature.
Try other types of pasta: penne, bucatini, ditalini.
Kushari is often served with a spoonful of cooked chickpeas on top.
Serve with slices of lemon for individual diners to squeeze over their portions as they like.
TA DA!

Also you want something funny? You might not believe this but it's true! Speaking of women and food, there's this part of Egyptian romance, -ladies do this when they want to get their man to bed- in which when the man comes back after a long day at work, he finds his wife sitting (wearing a nice sexy dress in most cases, your favorite color) with this Egyptian meal (some people say it makes you like a T-90 on bed) and after you get done with your food; it's quality time!!!Of all things nice!

The Brits have a more practical approach. They will say "Take em off and lay down!! This might be what they are taught during the basic training, especially the Royal Marines
