Originally served simply, it could later be called savory with meat, cheese, and vegetables or sweet with syrup, honey, or sugar.

3. Hamam Mahshi

Hamam mahshi is a stuffed pigeon dish that has been served in Egypt for centuries. To make this dish, pigeons are kept in mud-brick lofts that can be seen along the Nile.

When visiting Egypt, you can easily find hamam mahshi on restaurant menus and on special dates.
