Yesterday my student took me for couscous at the La Grillarde. After my food experiences, I try to eat at home and do some nice cooking because there is usually some problem mainly in the French restaurants. The Moroccans love, love, love their meat!
The thing with cous cous is that each and
everytime I have eaten it or seen it-it is loaded with vegetables-turnip,
zucchini, carrot, butternut squash, raisins, broth, and chickpeas. This creation is perfect and does not even
need meat because the chickpeas provide protein.
With Benji, I place my order and clearly say, “No
meat” in French and Benji also says “no meat.”
After a long wait, the cous cous comes out with a big lump of fattening
beef on it with pieces stringed through the broth. Of course, I am annoyed that
they did this again. The waiter comes
back and says he did not want to waste the extra meat so he thought it would be
best for him to take my meat.
NO MEAT WITH THE COUS COUS MOROCCO
Please I understand this is out of the norms as
Moroccans love their cous cous and meat, but please just listen to the request
the first time or say, “No we can not do that.” No more lumps of meat in the
cous cous, 7 legume cous cous is the best and only way to go!
