Al Ambobah
As old as Egypt
Literally means the Tube, it is a propane cooking tank that Egyptian have been using and abusing for years.. , they fight over it in the street, they throw it off trucks on the ground, they tab on it with wrenches to announce its delivery, they kick it, they role it, they sit on it when tired, they carry on their shoulders, they hug it when cold, Egyptian not afraid from it, , it is made in Egypt, abused by Egytians and the most useful device in all Egypt. Government use it to create crisis for crowd control, , politicians gets favors giving it away, … it is as old, dirty, durable, authentic, real, and as patient as Egypt, never complains, never explode, always abused, Egyptains call it “Al Ambobah” … if you are visiting Egypt and see this kid rolling it, don’t be afraid, just join the Ambobah… welcome to Egypt
… my egg sandwich
at the end of the day, My dad comes for his daily ritual, walks in our bedroom with a tray of sandwiches, , a big room with 7 brothers sleeping randomly on 3 beds…, he calls your name and gives everyone the late evening snack, always feta cheese sandwich with cucumber, … one night when came my turn I demanded an Egg Sandwich instead, : “cover him”, he asked of my older brother, … the egg issue was promptly settled … egg is a dinner item not a snack!! more than 40 years later, I don’t eat eggs at night!
