Frog 67

Hey guys. Am about to move to Cairo. I need to find out where to source some comodity product like...sausages! Am french and foodie to the bone (meat is rare though :), anyone can help me in my quest for good bangers in Cairo? Taste is obviously important, but so is food safety, i don t want to jeopardize my familys health! Are there some good foodstores proposing selected products? How about the supermarkets?
Thank you for your help!

Gourmet is one of the safest place to shop for food, but has limited amount of stuff. Pork meat is not available there. Otherwise, there is a shop in Maadi where they sell imported German sausages.

here's the best option for you

hypermarket Carrefour

hypermarket Spinneys

Supermarket Metro


Halwani is really a good brand in Egypt

in my opinion the brand name "swiss choice" is the best brand for sausages/hotdogs found in the frozen section of spinneys and carrefoure..it has the natural casing.

..its the closest to a NY hotdog i could find. and i really miss them :-( lol   helwani is a good brand i just dont like their hotdogs.

i just tried swiss choice - bought it from carrefour maadi..it's a bit expensive from other brands,but more tasty with no more herbs or oregano.

yes i agree it is a bit more expensive but with sausages its worth it. i hate to think what part of the beef is in the ones with less cost LOL. i like that swiss choice has small ones and longer ones. :-P

do you have a Carrefour near to you?

what's your favorite brand of Burger in the frozen section? :)
is it swiss choice also?

layla1313

no im in hurghada but spinneys  here is nicer than carrefoure in maadi, i dont like the way the meat dept. smells. i only go when i get to cairo.

for burgers i make my own but sometimes use halwani bros. mince because it doesnt have the pink dye that the mince sometimes has added to it. i dont like that. im picky with meat lol
