Food Fresh food, vegetables and fruits are readily available in most Libyan settlements. Breakfasts in the desert are generally fresh bread (local bread is excellent) with butter, cheese, jam or honey. A choice of hot drinks is available. Lunch is a mix of cold vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, potatoes, onions, olives, tomato and beans with tuna or sardines and cold boiled eggs. Fruit juice and tea are also provided. After an evening coffee or normal tea with nuts and biscuits comes a three-course supper of soup then a meal of potato, rice, kus-kus or pasta with vegetables and meat (often camel meat). Vegetarians would be provided with extra beans. Lastly some fruit salad and tea are served. Green tea making in the desert is a ritual which takes place at all possible occasions. It is likely you will have some fresh Tuareg bread made on one or two evenings using the hot embers of the wood fire. |
