Moroccan Food

I know these posts are going to be all out of order.. sorry.


The food in Morocco-

The food was very good. Prior to arriving in Morocco though, Dr. Dave gave us some rules to keep us healthy. He told us not to eat any fruit that we did not peel ourselves, and not to eat anything raw (including vegetables). We were also to be careful with milk and milk products because for the most part this milk is unpasteurized and our bodies would not tolerate it as easily.  Of course, as soon as we arrived the food we were served almost always did not follow Dr. Dave's rules. This photo is from one of our first meals. The meals are always served family style (placed in the middle to share amongst all at table).  Of course the bread was always safe, but the majority of the first course usually was not. In this photo we were served a carrot dish, a tomato and onion dish, beets, a bean stew thing and a tomato dish thing. Although there was very little we were supposed to try, I tried all of it!  After a course like this we were always served a second dish involving a tangine of some type of meat. Those were always what Dr. Dave considered to be safe to eat. 

The dessert in Morocco was usually fruit of some sort. Although this also was not usually Dr. Dave's suggestion, most of it was very good. We also were given pastries for dessert some times. 

After a meal we would be served mint tea. Mint tea is a tea that tastes just like wintergreen gum! I think it is the only type of tea that I have liked so far. Its very very sweet, but its also quite good.
