Egyptian Restaurants React: Iran-Israel War

In these uncertain times, some people protest, others post solidarity infographics. But Egypt’s food brands? They’re launching rockets. Of carbs.

Leading the charge was none other than koshary overlord Abou Tarek, who briefly posted an AI-generated image of a “Koshary Missile” - yes, with lentils, pasta, and patriotic propulsion. Captioned “Coming soon to markets,” the post detonated in the comment section, setting off an explosion of online outrage, press coverage from actual Israeli media, and eventually, a very sheepish delete.

Meanwhile, B Laban - never one to miss a sugar-fuelled stunt - dropped a “Fattaka” dessert (blueberry, cheesecake, and whatever chaos remains in the lab fridge) backed by Twitter screenshots from Iranian accounts. It’s dessert diplomacy with a dairy twist.

Then there’s Ahmed Nada, meat master and grill enthusiast, who decided to go full blockbuster. His latest ad spliced sizzling kebab fire with missile launch visuals in what can only be described as Call of Duty: Lamb Ops. Unsurprisingly, Israeli bloggers clocked in with reactions ranging from confusion to cautious obsession.
