Then I would go through the motions of taste testing while privately thinking “under no circumstances will I ever think any hot drink that any Moroccan ever hands me needs more sugar.” My host mom would mix it up and then hand it to me and ask me to taste-test it to see if it was sweet enough. I actually like the spiced coffee, but I would like it better without so much sugar. Berber coffee is spiced with ginger, pepper, a crap ton of sugar and maybe something else I am forgetting. Maybe a cup of coffee or tea, a little bit of hobbs and olive oil. Cascrout (teatime) is totally not a big deal here. I hear that in September it’s pomegranates to my heart’s content (can’t wait!) Right now, it’s all about the mishmash (apricots) and watermelon. In N’kob the weekly souk is on Saturday and Sunday. But for a larger selection of fresh anything you need to go to souk. I can always find onions and potatoes and usually tomatoes. Some fruits and veggies are available all week long at the hanuts, where you can also get your non-perishables like rice, pasta and cookies. Mishmash and chocolate filled sandwich cookies. Your food sources are generally a tiny hanut, a butcher, and a weekly souk. And there’s no Marjane or Assima or other grocery store. Here in the south, I can buy the kind in cans or the kind from the butcher who has a big plastic jug of them. My daily intake of olives has gone down precipitously! Up in Fes they had stands that sold nothing but different kinds of olives. Other than that, fresh produce is a little meskeen (poor) down this way.

I think we’ve got a case of the city folk not knowing how the country folk live.

Interesting because the PC Medical Officer in Rabat told me that it was almost all western toilets now in Morocco. Nowadays, I haven’t seen anything but Turks outside of Ourzazate. Of course I’ve only been in a small part of the north and a small part of the south but why should that stop me from making broad judgments?Īll through CBT I managed to avoid any encounters with Turkish toilets. Here are some observations from my nearly two months in the south compared with my earlier time in Fes and Rabat. I’m not sure where the Moroccan Mason-Dixon line is but if I had to guess I would say that south of Marrakesh things start to be a little more “bled” (country) and a little less rock and roll.
