Marrakech - Eating

Moroccan cuisine, in general, consists of the staples of meat―mainly chicken and lamb―a wide variety of fruits and vegetables and couscous. The most renowned Moroccan dish is the tagine, a slowly cooked stew of meat, vegetables, fruit and nuts. Another famous dish is pastilla, which is composed of either chicken or pigeon between layers of pastry. Moroccans have a liking for sweet things, so be sure to try out their desserts and pastries, washed down with an aromatic glass of the a la menthe or mint tea.
