Algeria

Group H - ALGERIA

What is it?

M'shewsha - an Algerian egg dish that is somewhere between an omelette and a cake. See here for a recipe.

How was it?

Texturally, this sat somewhere between an omelette and a sponge cake. It was soft, airy and slightly chewy, with a slight crispiness to the outside. The main body of the m’shewsha only had a subtle sweetness to it, but it absorbed the honey I poured over it readily. It was a sweet treat with a very full body.

Overall thoughts:

Not using any sugar made this dish feel much healthier than it probably was. It was definitely a fuller meal than pancakes would have been, and it did leave me feeling ready to take on the world. It took quite a while to make unfortunately, but is something you could just leave for a while and get on with other things.

If it was an Algerian footballer:

The full-bodied and skilled Sofiane Feghouli.
