Cairo's hawawshi
Spiced minced meat sealed in bread and put to the wood oven.
€ Budget
Every district has its hawawshi oven, and each swears its own is best. The meat is mixed with onion, parsley and chilli, then the bread is closed and baked until the fat soaks the crumb.
The extra bit
Ask for it "harr" if you like heat: the mild version is made for children.
Know before you go
Available for delivery everywhere, but loses its crunch within ten minutes on the road.
