Thread Name: Recipe songs
Subject: RE: Recipe songs
The Israeli song "Finjan" contains a recipe for coffee. The Digitrad has only the first stanza, which only gets as far as building up the campfire. I have all four stanzas in Hebrew, but it would be a long job for me to transcribe them, and besides the version is corrupted. Astonishingly, Google does not afford them. However, the operative lines seem to be: Kafeh vesukhar lo yutan, Umayim makhatsit hakankan. Yirtakh pa'amayim, Yosifu [= nosif od?] k'tsat mayim.... Coffee and sugar added to it, And water half the pitcher. Let it boil twice, Add some more water.
