Some people eat them as you would a quail, some people fear them as horseman of the plague, and others just think that they are creepy for no logical reason. I personally think that rats are a bit cute. When I was young, we would let a few go and hunt them down in the house. It was like a primal game of tag. My mother is terrified of them for good reason. When she a baby, a rat at some of her cheek. My uncle always said that it occurred on Armenian Thanksgiving.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-57749875300037203682007-07-23T19:56:00.000+03:002007-07-23T19:56:00.000+03:00Abou el Sid in Maadi is on Road 7, while Lucille's...Abou el Sid in Maadi is on Road 7, while Lucille's is on Road 9. A Maadi cab driver would know them, but one from outside Maadi is often lost when he arrives in Maadi. Abou el Sid also has branches in Heliopolis, Zamalek, Dokki, and Sharm el Sheikh. If you use www.yallabina.com you can find out all sorts of interesting things to try.Maryanne Stroud Gabbanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00858132776788616956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-33447657953386311372007-07-23T19:07:00.000+03:002007-07-23T19:07:00.000+03:00Thankyou for your post :)I am in cairo at the mome...Thankyou for your post :)<BR/><BR/>I am in cairo at the moment and I hope to try both the hamburger and the restuarant Abou Sid in Maadi. Are the taxi drivers likely to know these places or will I need to give the street/road names? And do you know them.<BR/><BR/>Shukran.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5203628.post-85988675540379704192007-07-12T14:40:00.000+03:002007-07-12T14:40:00.000+03:00Perhaps it's a good idea to leave the balady cats ...Perhaps it's a good idea to leave the balady cats and dogs in the street then and not go about killing them.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I think it's a good idea to feed us with short yet frequent post from time to time.Ashraf Al Shafakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13813620764143070326noreply@blogger.com
