Ramadan without saambuus, be carefull

Recommended Posts

Haatu   

Bloody ehem, ehem. Almost lost myself there :D

 

So you two never ate mandhaasi or Kaakac? Wow you're missing out. So in Ramadan all you eat is sambuusa while I'm blessed with variety? :D

not in the dictionary. Haatu muxu ku hadlaa?

 

I think we call it 'quraac' (same word as breakfast).

 

Small round dough fried in oil right? More like puffs.

I know bur, not kackac or maandhaasi!

 

Actually I never eat the maandhaasi by itself, I have to put sambusi inside it with little lime and basbas. Yum yum!

 

This is the first time I've heard of bur referred to as maandhaasi. Kackac sounded familiar though, but I didn't know what it was and didn't want to guess.

Btw I eat the kackac with honey only.

^ Bur un waa bur dee. What the flour is made into is called mandhaasi icon_razz.gif

 

Sambuusa and mandhaasi. Mmmmmm.

 

Kaakac with honey? So you dip it or something? I personally think it's nice with odkac and malawax. Now that's tasty.

You're confusing us even more now.

 

Nina calls it bur, I call it quraac and it is eaten with honey. Now you're talking about oodkac and mulawax lol

Kackac is a dessert, how can you eat it with oodkac and malawax?

 

I pour the honey all over it, no dipping whatsover. smile.gif It is not a chicken nugget, or french fries.

 

Do you eat your sambuusa and maandhaas with basbaas and lime juice? off da chain I tell you!

 

Norf- quraac? that means breafkast no? never heard of it. lol

We definitely need language experts on this...

Che bax tag. Ugali is strictly for lunch. Eat it with sukuma, hilib shiilan, lime juice and a glass of mango juice and boy you'll have a feast. Now look at how you've got me wanting some. Bloody glue-sniffer (as Oodka would say) :D

 

Norf. Lemme tell u straight.

 

Bur=Mandhaasi: A dough that's fried that has air in it.

 

Kaakac=Quraac (so you say): Same as bur/mandhaasi but is much smaller and has no air in it.

 

Nina, ofcourse. Otherwise it'll be a bit dry and lacking some kick.

 

Ps: Bax Sooomaali soo barta n dhibka dhaafa. And oh yeah, wax fahma :D

Quraac is bur then. Bur miyaan aheen flour?

 

Seems as though there is af Somali (in all it's forms) and then there is Haatu Somali lol

Ok, maybe I should've called it bur saliid. Bur doesn't make sense, you are right.

 

lol@glue sniffer. It reminded me of Nairobi. A glue sniffer snatched my gold earring(left) one time.

 

When is Ramadan btw, the 3rd?

 

p.s. Haatu, Somali baro, you are not in Kenya anymore.
