Happy Snacky

In Damascus, there are some things that they do really well. Delicious cheap snacks, for example. This makes me very happy. Here are some examples of the things that are less than 5 mins from my bed:

- ‘shwarma’ – a chicken doner but served with yoghurt, gherkins and chilli oil in a thin wrap. Unreal. Why on earth all chicken doners are not served like this is beyond me. Cost: 70p
- ‘falafel’ – nuff said. With humour, gherkins, salad, tahini, etc etc etc (foams at mouth). Cost: 25p
- Freshly squeezed juice – apple, orange, pomegranate and more. Cost: 70p.
- Freshly baked bread all day. Cost: 5-7p per piece of bread.
- Freshly baked delicious pastries all day: Cost: 10-20p

I could go on.

  1. Cost of falafel - 25p.
    The visual image of a falafel served with humour - priceless.
