Babel: Translating the Middle East - Ein Podcast von Center for Strategic and International Studies - Donnerstags

Egyptians traditionally celebrate Sham Enessim, the country’s pharaonic spring holiday, by eating faseekh, a fermented mullet. But in the weeks prior to this year’s holiday, which fell on May 6, the price of seafood shot up 180 percent.
