Fruits

They can be your best friend while travelling by train. There are many people who can’t have anything as they nauseate due to the jerking of the vehicle. Fruits can keep you away from that. Also, they are quite appetizing and makes you full for hours. Remember, you should not carry cut fruits. Take an apple or guava and munch them in between your journey. Avoid carrying banana as that may get rotten or mashed in your bag.

Chocolates

For little appetite, a box full of chocolates can be interesting. Buy different types of chocolates and toffee and fill the box with them. It will also look interesting. When you feel bored during your journey, grab a chocolate bar and munch it. You will feel better.

Snack Bars

They are nutritious and keeps you full for longer. For your short hunger pangs, snack bars are really awesome. You can go for granola bars which contain honey, raisins, almonds, walnuts, and brown sugar. These are good for those who are on the weight-loss regime. You can carry a few with you in an air-tight container.

Snacks

Chips, popcorn, etc. are fun food. For evening snacks, you can carry a few packets too. If you want to go healthy, go for banana wafers. You will also find baked goods where little oil is used or sometimes they are oil-free. For a healthy journey, you can carry a few packets of those too.

Sandwiches

While carrying in a journey, you better take a grilled sandwich, otherwise, it can have a foul smell. Wrap in aluminium foil and then place it in an air-tight container. It will be as it is for a long time. The sandwich is loved by all and you can have them for lunch, dinner or breakfast, whenever you want.

Cookies and Cupcakes

They are easy to carry. You can take them in a container or just stuff your bag with few packets. If you want to make cakes, go for muffins.

What is your favourite street food? Part 9

In Tunisia there are several street foods that often only exist there and that one can even eat on the go:

Street food Tunisia

Ojja/Chakchouka: Ojja is prepared with tomatoes and tomatoes to paste, a bit of olive oil and eggs. Chakchouka is the same recipe but with more vegetables (pumpkin, peppers…) and both recipe can also include some Merguez (spicy lamb or beef sausages).

Maqloub: A sandwich with meat (usually poultry but sometimes also lamb) and Harissa – Wikipedia filling (other fillings or vegetables are also possible)

Kafteji: A preparation of fried vegetables (usually pumpkin, peppers and tomatoes) and eggs, that can be eaten as a side or used in a sandwich.

Lablebi: A hot soup of steamed chickpeas, a lot of spices (cumin, harissa) and some lemon, sometimes also with tuna and an egg. (This one is a winter favourite by many Tunisians)

Pizza: Since Italy and Napoli is at 30 minutes by plane, Tunisians very soon adopted the dish as their own before it even made it to the US. Now the most iconic pizza in Tunisia is the “Neptune”, made just with a tomato-mozzarella base plus shredded tuna (delicious from the Mediterranean Sea) and olives.

Fricassé: Those little-fried dough sandwiches are filled with tuna, eggs, olives and (of course) some harissa paste.

Brik: A very thin pastry fried to become crispy while usually filled with an egg, some parsley and tuna (some other recipes exist with octopus, poultry or potatoes instead)

Gelat: From the Italian “Gelato”, artisanal ice-cream adopted from Italy. More so, you can find in Tunisia original flavours such as Zgougou (Aleppo pine seed), Bsisa (flour & roasted barley with anis) or rose/orange flower essence. Or even some traditional gelat sandwiches in the region of Sfax.

Mint tea and Coffee: Tunisians fascination with those drinks made them available pretty much in every street and terraces.

Bambalouni: honeyed fried dough that is far more aired and malleable than a doughnut and thus easy to eat.

Zlabia: special honeyed fried dough with spices (cardamom and sometimes also Curcuma) that is very demanded during Ramadan in street shops. It’s a bit crispy on the exterior but rather gooey and sweet on the inside.

There are probably many more that I missed, I also wanted to show those who are more or less specific to Tunisia, we also have less commonly Shawarma or Shish Taouk from Lebanese and Turkish cuisine but those were already shown in an earlier blog post. Even then, Tunisian cuisine is pretty rich, (3000 years old rich as they like to say) but in my opinion, the best dishes are to found in people’s home and are better than street foods.
