visit morocco

Can you tell me about Moroccan food?

Moroccan cuisine is said to be one of the most important cuisines in the world and every place every city has special food in morocco . Every visitor to Morocco can savor the delights of its gastronomy when they taste tagines (tajines), pastilla, couscous, harira, and a range of other traditional dishes in the various fine Moroccan restaurants. However, few tourists get the chance to experience the preparation of Moroccan cuisine; something that is essential to understanding the culture.do you never eat Moroccan foods?

Stella - to answer you question Moroccan food is amazing!!! I spent a month in Europe and a few days in Morocco and the food there was my absolute favorite of my whole trip. The tagines are just so good. I actually bought a tagine in Morocco to bring back home, but it shattered in the process. My brother bought me one locally for my birthday and as soon as I figure out a good recipe and how to use it I will be set. All the recipes I am finding are very complicated with lots of ingredients. The tagines that I ate in Morocco were not like that - they were simple but amazingly good. The other food I got was also really good.

Jalal - do you have a simple tagine recipe?? Chicken, potatoes, carrots, etc. I'm mostly not sure what spices to use and how to cook in the tagine. I really wish there was a Moroccan restaurant near me - I would be in heaven! Unfortunately there isn't...

i like eat tajin every day , iam very hangry now,
did you eat couscous when you were here ?

Thanks Jalal and Kelly. I really want to go to Moroco but I am a picky eater and have a limited diet I can follow. Is it very spicy? And is a tangine a fruit? I haven't heard of them.

Stella,

A tagine is a cooking implement (comprised of two pieces of ceramic, a teepee like top and an ceramic bowl for the bottom). The tagine is used to cook couscous with vegatables and/or meat...just thinking about it makes me hungry.

Thanks Bill! I always worry abou the food places. I have no fear of travelling to these places but want to know if I should bring a jar of peanut butter.

Jalal - thanks for the website. that's a bit more items than i want in mine, but i think i can make it work. I didn't actually order couscous, but I tried my brother's and it was quite good.

Stella - I am a very picky eater also. Tajine is kind of like cooking in a crockpot (but better). The ones I ordered simply had chicken, potatoes, some had carrots, and spices. The spices were not spicy but just wonderfully flavorful. I definately ordered some items in Morocco that I wouldn't have ordered normally, partly because I didn't understand some menus, or the menu wasn't detailed enough. But I absolutely enjoyed everything I had. I did not have anything that was spicy while I was there. The OJ is also very good and there are tons of OJ carts and stands. Make sure to try the chocolate crossaints as well - these are to die for! Morocco has definately gotten me to branch out a bit more in food I have been trying lately. I'm definately getting braver - so that is a plus :)
