    Our Arab Cook bought all his fresh fish and vegetables from the markets everyday. But he decided Saukraut was an easy dish to prepare so everyday he started serving saukraut until everyone was sick of eating saukraut. So my colleagues and I decided to dress up in our Austrian winter clothes and protest at too much saukraut! The cook became upset and resigned. We were never served saukraut again!

  • Ludwig says: This Al Nasr Square where Jashanamals had their first store.
    Jashanmals decided to close down their food store and had a sale. Our Cook bought a lot of food cheaply. Most was tinned ravioli. We ate tinned Ravioli every day for months!
