A tasty adventure in Morocco!

Introduction:

Living abroad has been an amazing experience that has brought many challenges, including learning things that I never imagined I would need to learn. Part of that learning process has been trying foods from each of the regions that I have visited. In this field note, I'll be telling you all about couscous, which is a very popular food in Morocco.

What food did I try?:

This week I visited Morocco, a country in Northern Africa located quite close to Spain's southern border. I tried couscous, which is a popular Moroccan food made of semolina (wheat that is ground into very small granules and tastes like pasta ) and served with mixed vegetables and a meat, usually chicken, beef or lamb. It was delicious! I liked it so much that I had it again the next day. I chose to have beef with the couscous.

How did I feel when I tried it?:

I was nervous because I had never traveled to Africa, nor had I tried any Moroccan food. I will just say that I closed my eyes to savour the flavors and enjoy the moment. It was amazing! 

How is the food prepared?:

Couscous is made from semolina (ground wheat) and served with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, zucchini or chickpeas alongside chicken, lamb or beef. It can also be served vegetarian style, without any meat.
