Ibrahim says one region to the east of town still swarms with members of the Jaish al Mahdi - the militia loyal to anti-American Shi'a cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, which the soldiers call "JAM" for short.

I purchased crisp toast as a receptacle for the foie gras, spicy cranberry and wasabi jam, and balsamic-cherry syrup.
