Inflation and cooking shows
My housekeeper was chatting about her most recent squabble with the ambulant fruit vendor who was reckless enough to ask her for money at the door. Meanwhile, was staring at my phone pretending to listen because my housekeeper is known to routinely yell at, and occasionally physically assault that particular vendor.
Egypt's most popular cooking show, featuring “Chef Sherbini” was playing on the television in the background. Chef Sherbini was saying "now add a tablespoon of sugar to the sauce of the beef to balance out the flavour".
All of a sudden, she turns around and yells "Who the hell still eats beef or has sugar in this country you fat idiotic buffalo ?? How about you show us how to make broth by boiling rocks ! Now that would actually make sense." Luckily a commercial break auspiciously interrupted the inflation triggered rant.
