Egyptian family

            The Egyptian family is a very traditional one. The whole extended family eats together often. In this family specific there are about 12 people. They ate a variety of foods during the recorded week. Some traditional Middle Eastern foods, and some food I wasn’t expecting them to eat.

             The family in total spent about $63.53, 387.85 Egyptian pounds. Doesn’t seem like a lot to spend on a whole weeks worth of food. Most of the money ($33.22) was spent on the meat, fish and eggs category. Meat was eaten a lot, including: chicken, lamb, and corned beef. Due to the large amount of meat, this makes the family seem slightly more on the wealthy side.
             They also used a ton of different spices. To me this is a very common trait in the eastern part of the world. I'm not sure what coriander seed is, but I'm pretty sure it's not commonly used in the United States. 

            But the section with the most variety of food in it is the fruits, vegetables and nuts section. The food in this category ranges from bananas to Jew’s mallow (a traditional Egyptian vegetable).
  

            Overall, the family doesn’t seem to have spent a great deal of money on food, but the variety and quantity of food is large.
