A Little Nomad notes the most common breakfast in Egypt is ful (pronounced "fool") — fava beans. These beans are soaked overnight and cooked over low heat to allow the bean to come out of their thick pod. Then, the beans are cooked with oil and salt and served as a side dish or made into a sandwich. Ful is often accompanied by pita bread, eggs, cheese, and another Egyptian breakfast staple called ta'meya. Ta' meya resembles the texture of a falafel but is made with fava beans instead of chickpeas. Nice
