Breakfast in Palestine

Everyday Michelle and I would wake up to get ready to go to learn Arabic, but before we could go to the Alternative Tourism Group building we were served a delicious breakfast (we were once late to arrive to ATG because we were enjoying our breakfast way to much and having a good conversation) by our host mother Miriam and would often eat breakfast with our host father-Karim . This breakfast is way easy to make and really delicious.

What you need to have to make a great Palestian breakfast:

Za'atar in a separate  cup --it is a Middle Eastern spice mixture, which I heard you can find at the Middle Eastern store here close to EMU-or better yet befriend somebody from Palestine and order some through them and eat it with the them!

Olive Oil put a separate cup 

Pita bread to dip it into the olive oil and then into the Za'atar

2 boiled hot eggs per person (or more if you like)

Cut up fresh vegetables like green and red peppers-any kind of vegetable really

Humus

AND some hot tea with lots of sugar to go with it AND MOST IMPORTANTLY-eat in fellowship with people.
