Spicing Up My Trip with Morocco’s Spicy Foods
May 3rd, 2007 by Rcon Franchesca Pascua

I love writing about my traveling experiences, especially those that are very extraordinary and memorable. On my trips to Morocco, I can say that my adventures in tasting different local foods are among the most memorable experiences I had in the country. If you can recall in my old posts, I wrote about my dining experience in a vegetarian restaurant in Djemaa al Fna. I really had a superb time in that bistro! Even though I am not a vegetarian, I relished every veggie dish that was served before me. I also wrote an entry about the food stalls in Marrakech where I luxuriated in appetizing potato cakes, kebab, lamb brochettes, and cous cous. Believe me guys, Morocco has a very diverse and unique way of cooking. So, why am I being melancholic about those food trips? It’s because I just had an account that really “spiced up” my Moroccan travel, and I can say that it was my hottest food adventure so far.

I dined at Restaurant el Bahia that is located near my suite in Marrakech and that moment was really unforgettable. I am not fond of eating hot foods except for the typical dips and sausages, but eating on a table filled with various Moroccan spicy foods was really mind-blowing. I thought I was not going to enjoy the meal, but I was wrong. The bistro’s hot dishes, such as the Chermoula fish and spiced lamb barbecue, really satisfied my taste buds! Morocco’s famous spices like cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, black pepper, and saffron can really make a person ask for more servings of the hot and spicy chows. The country is popular for its exquisite cuisine and practice of using flavorings and herbs to make its local foods more enticing and palatable. When you get to Morocco, you should spice up your vacation by trying out the hot and scrumptious local cuisines of the country.

Of course, there is a lot of diversity in Moroccan food. But if one enters in the tourist trap system, it would be difficult to get out of the «pastilla, couscous, lamb» version…
