A Qatari Treat

It seems like every time I go to the beach with Qataris they do up this one snack. It's simple to make.

1) Get a pack of this (puffy cheese curls)

2) Open the pack and liberally add this

I think only this hot sauce will do, Qataris call it by name. Despite how it is spelt Qataris pronounce it "cris-STAL", like the champagne. Needless to say I was surprised the first time someone went, "Does anyone have cris-stal?" and I figured someone was about to pull out a bottle of bubbly.


3) Close the bag and shake.

4) Eat.


No, it's not Michelin-star cuisine but it seems like a snack Qataris loved to eat when they were children so it has carried on today.
