That's funny. I work there, too.
Oh, that's interesting. What do you do, exactly?

describing the Tunisian Iftar to his Indian friend.
•
What’s
a typical Tunisian Iftar?
•
We
always have soup and brik.
•
Brik?
•
It’s
a fried pastry stuffed with eggs, potatoes and parsleys, and sometimes we add
tuna or meat.
•
Looks
like samosa!
•
Yep.
We usually have grilled salad, too. Peppers, tomatoes, and onions are grilled
and crashed.
•
What about grains? Do you eat rice?
•
Yes,
we sometimes eat couscous; steamed granules of semolina served with stew
spooned on top.
•
Sounds
tasty!
