“This root [the potato], no matter how much you prepare it, is tasteless and floury. It cannot pass for an agreeable food, but it supplies a food sufficiently abundant and sufficiently healthy for men who ask only to sustain themselves. The potato is criticised with reason for being windy, but what matters windiness for the vigorous organisims of peasants and labourers?” |

“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it." |

Drain & skin the soaked fava beans. Cover with fresh water & cook
gently with the garlic & cumin seeds until the beans are tender.
Drain. Puree the beans. Stir in enough olive oil & a littel water,
to give the puree a soupy consistency. Season with salt & beat well.
Heat just before serving with a little more olive oil & a sprinkling
of the za'atar. Serve with Arab bread & a bowl of mixed spices
(ground cumin, cayenne & salt).
Serves: 4
