Food, Morocco

Displayed:   times.

Moroccan cuisine is somewhat different from other Arabic countries. You won't find middle eastern specialties like falafel, tabouli, or shworma. Instead the mainstays (read: this is mostly what you're going to eat in Morocco!) are couscous, tagine and kefta. Couscous is semolina wheat served with vegetables and/or fish or meat. Tagine is usually meat or chicken baked in a cone shaped clay dish. A good tagine is where the meat is falling off the bone, with a thick tasty gravy. Don't expect western style portions of meat. Unless you opt for an expensive restaurant you'll be lucky to get a quarter of a chicken in your tagine. Kefta is lamb or beef stew. These dishes are usually mild and tastefully spiced.
