Conan Learns About Egyptian Cuisine | Conan O’Brien Needs a Fan

all of egyptian food is very fatty and. very delicious uh i think my favorite. meal is something called. okay uh so that's basically fried. eggplant with minced meat cool all right. and it's just layered and then it goes. into the oven so that's what you have. you have the fried eggplant that's. interesting. with minced meat uh. duck. we love hairy duck. uh pigeons we also eat pigeons here. wait you eat pigeons yeah i'm pleased.

no no i'm not gonna make fun of it i. think that would be i wish we ate pigeon. here because it would solve the problem. you know what i mean we have way too. many of them and if if if pigeon became. popular we'd have clean statues you know. oh my god yeah so here so here stuffed. pigeons are like the the. one of the most famous dishes here in. egypt is it is it tastes good what does. a pigeon taste like it's kind of like. duck okay. but it's a bit sweeter.

wow it's a bit sweeter i'm intrigued i. want to have i want to eat a pigeon now. well well when you come to cairo i would. like feed you. tons of pigeons. i'm glad that you're not listing just. fast foods you know american fast food. that you actually seem to love your. culture and and seem loyal to it is. there fast food there everything so we. have everything we all we have all of. the big franchises here. uh it's all open.

like donuts fast food burgers everything. okay i always get bummed out when i go. to a foreign country yeah and. it's it's fine but when i see all the. restaurants that americans have here and. it's the first thing i see when i go to. this very exotic place like cairo. and there's an arby's there you know. what i mean do you have art do you like. arby's yeah i love arby's so basically. here i love eating arby's here in cairo. specifically i think in my opinion it's. the best.

fast food chain here. because it's delicious. so you like arby's and do they have i do. sometimes if you go to say a mcdonald's. in france you can get uh you can get. some red wine with your meal because. they've made cultural adjustments okay. if i go to an arby's can i get a pigeon. with curly fries. i could suggest that they still haven't. reached that level yet well i think they. should if arby's wants to be culturally. sensitive. uh you know the fact that they're in.

cairo they should order you should be. able to get a shredded. pigeon sandwich with curly fries. well that would be really nice. yeah it's easy you just run a lawn mower. over a bunch of pigeons oh no oh. what. what's the way to do it quickly. [Music]. no there are other ways well pigeons are. small i think that they're easy to. handle you don't need a lawnmower i love. that. i love that we've got nerums.

[Laughter]. you're going into the like no no there's. actually a better way to do it uh for. arby's you're actually going to be the. arby's consultant for having a pigeon. yeah in the pigeon sector but the other. but other like chains here they do some. cultural adjustments. like for example mcdonald's they do some. cultural adjustments here especially for. example in ramadan. they they they like add a couple of. ramadan drinks to their menu oh good. yeah yeah but rv still hasn't reached. that level yet yeah no well let's let's.

get on the let's get on the ball arby's. that's just a message to arby's yeah. because those people i know those people. very well i actually don't um. they pay me not to mention them.
