In the evening they return to their camp for a traditional Iraqi feast of Masgouff, fish prepared in a rather unique manner: sliced in half and staked next to a blazing fire, when almost cooked through the fish is taken off the stakes, laid down on the hot coals of the fire and packed with vegetables.

After dinner Abu-Galen, the owner of the land on which the journeymen are camped, joins them around the fire teaching them some Iraqi games.
