peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2dip stew Explanation: Idam is the same as Ghamus. I think that in English there is no exact equivalent because food is generally not eaten by spooning it with bread. The closest equivalent is dip, but that usually refers to finger food like thick sauces for dipping potato chips into. The Idam tends to be meat or vegetable stew, so maybe we could say "dip stew". Any other ideas anyone? |
