Egyptian watercress and national pride
Uber driver:
-so you’ve lived abroad and you’ve lived in Egypt, surely you can name one thing in Egypt that’s better than abroad. Maybe the Egyptian sense of humor, maybe our kindness?
-….
-I’m sure you can think of something!
-The watercress, Egypt has the best watercress. European watercress is harvested early, Egyptian watercress is left to mature and tastes nice and sharp.
-Ok, madam, so you basically just want to make me depressed. The only good thing about life is now watercress.
