My only beef with her video is that shakshuka sucks. Otherwise, she'll be fine. Give it a rest, guys.

I like it but it's easy to make. That's a legit critique.

The dish lacks harmony. There is nothing to balance out the acidity of the tomato and bell pepper sauce, and it simply does not work with feta cheese. I love assertive foods, but shakshuka has the distinction of being both overly aggressive and offensively one note. Ful is an immeasurably better Middle Easter breakfast staple.

Ah, I eat it with mozzarella. Think the creaminess balances the sharpness. (Granted, I have little taste.)

While we're on the subject, I adore your English breakfast. This is a culinary tradition of great power.

Laughing at, not with, is my preference.

Also pointing while I'm loudly laughing.

It makes miserable people happy.

They are happy when I leave.
