In Egypt they sell these on the street and make sugarcane juice. Sugarcane also very cheap like anything else in Egypt. The first time I drank sugarcane juice was when I first came. One of my Egyptian friends brought us to a juice shop. There we drank watermelon juice, orange juice, peach juice, and mango juice. All was good. then our friend ordered the sugarcane juice.
We didn’t know what it was at first. He gave it to all of us to try. My first thoughts were that it tasted like grass (you might ask how I know? but that’s another story for another time:) ). When I drank it I got disgusted and asked him if he was making us drink grass and if this was a joke, he laughed. He said that it was just sugarcane. I thought that I would never drink it again. My friend Hussam said that it gets better every time I drink it. So I decided to drink it again. He was right, this time it tasted better. I drank one more time, then drank it again and again. Now I like how it tastes. I am used it.
I even went a step further and bought a stick of sugarcane. One of our Egyptian friends showed me how to eat it by peeling the outer skin with your teeth and biting and sucking on the sugarcane juice. It was like chewing on this bamboo, wood thing but you get greeted with a sweet juice instead of a wood taste. It might seem weird but you get used to it.
