This is one of my favorite street snacks of all time. We call this Dora mashwi, which is basically grilled corn. It is grilled on top of very hot coals which is kept going by a fan made out of turkey or chicken feathers. You can just make out the fan in Sherif's hand.

This is Nourhan and Ahmed. They are hanging out with Dad while he cooks the grilled corn. I thought they were really quite behaved for little ones with nothing to keep them occupied.

This family is grilling the corn on the back of a cart which as you can see has pretty normal rubber tires. This is a pretty high end family business you get to see here. Many times you will find folks grilling corn out of a pot sitting on the street. If they are lucky enough to have a cart, they have wooden tires. This cart was hooked up to an old pickup truck, but most of the carts for selling vegetables, baskets, or baked sweet potatoes normally have wooden tires and a worn out donkey waiting patiently.

Sherif puts the finishing touches on our grilled corn snack while his father and Nourhan keep watch. Once Sherif finishes grilling, he will wrap the corn back inside the husk to keep it warm. The corn husks are nice to keep your hands clean, too. Mmmmm.....delicious!!
