What sort of food and drink do they have in tunisia? |
Travel Info please say they have nice choclate Travel Tips The food is very delicious in Tunisia! A combination of traditional Berber, Middle Eastern, and French. http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-5ksvju47e... Tunisian meals are social events and the longer the better. A typical meal would begin with shorba (soup), Brik, followed by Slada mechouia - grilled green peppers, tomatoes, onions, and finely chopped garlic. Spices and olive oil are added and the salad is garnished with tuna fish, hard eggs, olives and sometimes capers. Assorted stews follow roasts of lamb, veal or fish, tajine - a rich, flavorsome omelet baked with chopped meat, vegetables and cheese. Fresh salad, fruits, pastries and custards, coffee and tea make the finale. While most Tunisians like their food hot and spicy, restaurants and hotels prepare their menus considering the tastes of their visitors and serve harissa separately. This condiment is made of crushed dried red peppers, garlic and spices and adds a definite zest to any meal. It is a mainstay of many dishes and can be toned down by a touch of olive oil. And if you like chocolates, we have PLENTY! You can find various chocolate bars for sale at any small or big store, and the patiseries sell the sweetest chocolate cakes! As for drinks there are a wide variety. Teas, sodas, and coffees of various kinds, milkshakes, various juices, water, and the ever tourist popular alcohol.

Other Travel Tips They have lamb and cus cus- dont know if that is the correct spelling- oh and they have saffron. I think they have a lot of spices. Dont think you will find chocolate there although i could be wrong. Tuna The sort that makes you visit the loo a lot! Sorry, I had a very bad experience, and I was far from being the only one, it was a very common topic of conversation with other Brits! It was very similar to Morrocan food from what I remember. Don't have ice in your drinks or eat salad or raw foods that may have been washed in local water, and take some Immodium with you... A lot of cous cous served with lamb and vegetable stew. Food is a bit spicy but not deliciously so like Indian food. My daughter didnt like the food at all and she is not a particularly fussy eater. She brought me back some recipe cards and nine years later I've never made anything from them - they just dont move me. Cous-cous is the main national dish. Basically the further away you get from the tourist resorts and beach areas the more likely you are to come across chilled monkey brains and boiled camel heads. Stick to the food in your hotel and you'll be fine. If you venture off the beaten track, then beware. |
