Shepherd's pie AND fish 'n' chips?!!
That sounds buuuufffffff.
Then again I went to a proper Syrian restaurant last night and had all the dishes that I miss from Damascus. I think the waiter was impressed when I ordered cos I chose the BEST things on the menu!
(IO have no idea what else they have there, but you used to mention that quite a lot. or I imagine that you did...)

i used to eat it a lot, but only cos it cos 20p. I got so sick of it I don't think I could actually ever eat one ever again!
I meant the specific Syrian dishes, rather than generic arab food like shawarma or hummus.
Yes, thank you for mentioning those "specific syrian dishes" so others could try them out too. You are so generous.

There are very few Syrian restaurants. Tons of Lebanese takeaways, but few Syrian ones. So there's no point cos no1 would be able to get the food unless they go to Abu Zaad in Shepherd's Bush.

Just having a drink a Suhoor obviously isn't enough.
I assume you will try to avoid that mistake in the future?

It wasn't quite a mistake.
I feel like I've got back to my normal self.
Just my tummy is annoyed with the fact that it has nothing in it.
Main Lesson: eat less at Iftar in the first place.

I literally just read You's comment and then took the word out and put it in my sentence. So the blame goes to RY!

Over indulging in ramadan is no joke...my head was telling me about someone she new who had a cardiac arrest during ramadan, cos he had over indulged in the sweet stuff that is available here in Ramadan.
Everything here, is dripped and covered in syrup and the sweet shops here are sparkly and pretty, its kinda hard NOT to indulge...

Well, not long to go there.
I always want to over indulge, but then physical limits constrain me to what is "normal" (which may not be normal for everyone else).

I "allow" myself evenings or weekends where I over indulge...usually on a friday night or the entire weekend. Buts thats on the rule, that I will be good all week.
However, since coming to cairo, I've been over indulging every night after tarawih prayer. Thank goodness this is a hot country
