It's a sadly common Middle Eastern breakfast most renowned for being filling. <i>Ful medames</i> has been historically described as being "like a stone in the stomach". ;) I assume what they forced on you was some variant of Ful medames.

Yeah, it's a lot different than the Syrian way of doing fava beans. Now don't get me wrong - i <i>like</i> the simple Syrian way of serving foole. It's sort of like edamame, but it gets very boring very quickly. Thanks, Razzler.

Just foole, boiled, and then dipped in salt. And I used to have to drink foole juice - the water that the beans were boiled in - because it was "good" for me. Your recipe looks a lot more pleasant!
