Couscous.
By far one of the staples of the PC Morocco experience is couscous. Most (not all) eat couscous every Friday in Morocco. There are seven vegetables in couscous - onions, pumpkin, zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, carrots, and turnips. There's usually a piece of meat or fish buried in the center. It's very delicious. That aside, it also serves an emblem of hospitality as families gather and frequently invite you in to share the meal. In the picture you see above, my neighbor Aicha brought this plate of couscous to me as she often does. Her couscous has a regional twist as it is spicier and more peppery than what I've had in different regions. It's something I will remember about the experience always. Nous mangons couscous chaque Vendredi en Maroc. Il y a sept légumes en couscous du Maroc- oignons, citrouille, courgette, aubergine, tomates, navet, et carottes. Il y a la viande ou poulet aussi. Mon voisin Aicha me améne couscous sovent. Sa couscous trés délicieux.
