The wintertime is almost upon us, and this is a tragedy for some and a cause for celebration for some. The age-old debate of which is better, summer or winter, may never have a winner, but since we all have to endure the hardships and get to enjoy the fun parts of both seasons, let’s focus on one of the best parts of the wintertime: its food. Here’s what your favourite winter food says about you.
Lentil Soup

The ever-so-cosy soup that spreads comfort throughout the entire body. You’re definitely the kinda person who cares more about the nutritional value of the dish than its bells and whistles. You would rather sit at home and enjoy a movie or a show than go out.
Instead of starting a new show, you always opt for watching your comfort show for the Millionth time. You’re also the kind who meal preps for the entire week to bask in the comfort of knowing you’re ready for whatever the week throws at you.
Baked Chestnuts (Abo Farwa)

An Egyptian delicacy many have loved since childhood. You’re definitely someone with a tough exterior but all sweet, warm and mushy inside, and I reckon you want people to know that about you. You are someone who would never judge someone for their actions until you understand the situation and have considered all the possibilities.
Even though you are underrated in your workplace, family or school, you still manage to bring happiness to everyone who interacts with you for any reason.
Strawberries

Ok, let’s be honest here, strawberries are almost everyone’s favourite fruit, even people allergic to them sometimes eat them. The sweet, tangy flavour is GOATed even in candy flavours. You are the best at what you do, whether it’s work or school; you’re a top achiever, and you know it.
You’re popular but not without reason, and people love how you’re both kind and sassy at the same time. You treat people well, but you will never take someone’s nonsense sitting down.
Halawa B Eshta Sandwich
A staple in every Egyptian household and a pioneer of affordable Egyptian desserts. You are known to indulge in anything that brings you joy and live by “you only live once” as a motto. You will do the things you want to do absent-mindedly and then cry over the consequences.
You always start each winter with a “I will not let myself go this year” and end it with a “there’s always next year”. Hopefully, you’ll be able to make better decisions this year.
Chickpeas in Sauce

The tangy, earthy, and slightly spicy goodness in a cup. Both healthy and delicious. It has all, and so do you. You’re very efficient and want to have fun while still focusing on what is at hand. You are good with money, yet you like to enjoy yourself every now and then and will never say no to a good time.
