LOL someone stole your post?!!

I'm harira I don't like chorba that much but I love Algeroise chorba, it's very tasty (red one).

My mum gets asked about her harira recipe all the time, she just makes the best harira...my grandma -Ellah yarhamha- used to make an even better harira, amazingly good...do you believe in what we say "el benna fel yedines"??
