Talking about food and this is a bit less haute cuisine (sorry Eric!): has anybody ever heard of salt water bread? Sounds horrible but I'm always willing to give it a try!
I can definitely recommend Tsampa though. Nothing to do with more current events! Also known as Satu in India or Gofio on the Canary Islands. Basically ground flour from rosted cereals mixed with butter/oil and tea (or boullion etc). Bovril, dash of Tabasco for flavouring and there you go. Just like that!
