 ALL HAIL BREAD ? There are many staple foods in Morocco, two of which are bread and couscous. Bread is a sacred food in Morocco and is known there as Khubz. It was once said by the Prophet that Khubz should be treated with the utmost respect, so now if any Khubz is found thrown away on the street, it should be moved out of harms way with a prayer. Couscous is a national dish and as such it has a firm religious stance in Moroccan culture. It's made from drum-wheat semolina that's native to their region of Africa. It is usually served with stew and is said to bless those who consume it. [|Link to Moroccan lamb recipe] [|Link to Moroccan moist cake]
