#3 The top prize in this year's contest, incidentally, went to Tunisian chef Arroum Mimoun for his rich lamb couscous garnished with chickpeas.

Great - now I'm hungry.

#7 This reminds me of the time that Iowahawk (or somebody) wrote a news spoof claiming the Arab countries had claimed near Earth orbit as Palestinian territory being violated by an Israeli satellite and some newspapers ran it as real.

#9 Barbara

They are still more pathetic than you think. Couscous is a Maghreb (Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia) dish. They don't eat couscous in Egypt, Lebanon, Arabia or anywhere else in Middle East. Except in Israel where Jews of North African origin introduced it.

#10 "We will never take part in the contest again."

Seeing as how the possibility of inveterate whiners absenting themselves from all further events cannot possibly be construed as a threat, should we all assume that this is a promise?

Palestinians, is there nothing they cannot whine about?
