I fell of my chair laughing when i read this one. We had that discussion over dinner just 2 weeks ago when my son had a cold
Strange thing hubby also do is heat a glas of milk with honey in when he comes home from football practice. "Normal" people prefers a cold drink but he insists that the warm milk and honey is good for him and gives him POWER - said with stomach pull in, blue face and a big cheest Posts: 281 | From: Denmark | Registered: Feb 2008

My husband thinks that cinnamin - cures everything- he drinks hot milk with cinnamin it cures stomach aches- it helps you sleep- it helps when you have a headache- when he wakes up in the morning he needs it to start the day before the gym with lots of sugar in it. I have grown to love it too, but it must be a egyptian thing.

Do you ask him why honey with garlic before breakfast? Is it supposed to be healthy?
Oh and tell him to give up smoking... it will increase his life span. Posts: 30135 | From: The owner of this website killed ES....... | Registered: Feb 2004

Actually they speak Amharic.
Actually I wasn't referring to their language. The EGYPTIAN Arabic word for Ethopians is Habash, or so I thought. Perhaps an Egyptian could help with that. Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006

In English, Ethiopia was also historically known as Abyssinia, derived from the Arabic form of the Ethiosemitic name "ḤBŚT," modern Habesha. In some countries, Ethiopia is still called by names cognate with "Abyssinia," e.g., Turkish Habeşistan and Arabic Al Habesh, meaning land of the Habesha people. The term Habesha, strictly speaking, refers only to the Amhara and Tigray-Tigrinya people who have historically dominated the country politically, and which combined comprise about 36% of Ethiopia's population. However, in contemporary Ethiopian politics, the word Habesha is often used to describe all Ethiopians.
Its a spice which is why I quoted a post with a list of spices.
Habash has nothing to do with what Ayisha listed above.
Good lord talk about going on a tangance.
I didnt say it had anything to do with what I listed, I marely asked what it was then carried on listing more that was relevant to the topic, hence the * at each point.
Didnt go off on a tangent sono
Cant see anything from your pics, but picking up what others say it seems its dried Ethiopian Posts: 15090 | From: http://www.egyptalk.com/forum/ | Registered: Jul 2004

From looking at the images posted, Habash looks like the name of the company that is distributing Allspice or Mixed Spices (Boharaat/Bohar بهرات).

Let alone go through several containers of this spice mix. I suppose the rest of yous have spouses who eat out alot.
Its odd that those of us living here have never heard of this spice sono, and we are cooking using Egyptian ingredients. Maybe they only use dried Ethiopian outside Egypt?

Google "Habash" and you'll notice a Palestinian Politician is named George Habash.
Often times names of spices, places, and items (nouns) let alone descriptive adjectives are also names of people.
My ex always refered to this mixed spice as "Habash". When I go to the Middle Eastern grocer I ask or Habash and they know exactly what spice I am refering to.
The Egyptian cookbook I have in here, and a few more arab cookbooks are kinda buried right now.
Then again Newcomer you had always stated that you don't need to know Arabic to understand the Quran, so why would anyone need to understand Arabic to understand Egyptian cooking?

I think you are right Newcomer. Habash is the company as it says underneath 'Mixed Spice'.

You've eaten Egyptian cuisine, but due to the concept of your father owning a factory and all I highly doubt you were every taught to cook.
Thats okay nouvue riche often times raise their children to have absolutely no skills to survive on their own. That maid who did cook for you might've been the sterile aunt no one told you about.
Give it a few more generations, your brother's kids will be able to flush the toilet for themselves.

Habash trading, you put it there yourself sono, its the company name.

You know what? I think I just figured out what you mean by "hebesh". Hebesh is a verb not a name of a spice, and it basically means "spicing things up." Ok guys mystery solved! Posts: 4446 | From: Egyptian in Sydney | Registered: Mar 2005

* He insists if they were allowed to play in the World Cup they could probably win.
* He wears sandals (ship ship) into the bathroom NO MATTER WHAT, time of year, where he's visiting, in a hotel room or at home, it does not matter. He could never envision entering a bathroom barefooted.
* His hips move better than yours.
* The bones in his legs are unusually large (and strong!) compared to the men in your home country.
