Another day, another dish of kushari...

For those trying to keep both their stomach and their wallet full, there is perhaps no better dish in the world then كشرى (kushari). The stuff is dirt cheap, delicious, and filling- in other words, exactly what I'm looking for. It consists of pasta, rice, corn, and caramelized onions, and is served with a healthy amount of marinara sauce. Vinegar and hot sauce are also available. The portion shown in the picture above was obtained for only 4 Egyptian pounds (roughly 80 American cents), and it's enough to keep me going for almost an entire day.
