On The Road With The YaYa's

Fes Medina-Food (Part 1)

Interested in eating camel? Yes, that is a camel head and a one hump camel in the back.

The Medina was an overwhelming experience. It was filled with everything imaginable and some things you would never imagine. First I will talk about food. All the stalls were very quiet in the morning because people sleep in because it is Ramadan and you can’t eat or drink until after sunset. By the end of the day you could easily get separated from the group because it was so crowded. Our guide even hired a “helper” for the day to stay at the end of the group and constantly count us. There are always a few on every trip that don’t listen to the rules and are always trying to push the rules. We wasted time having to wait for them. Our guide’s rule of “no shopping” in the Medina apparently did not apply to them.

Every kind of fish imaginable. The even had eels wiggling on the floor in puddles. That really freaked me out.
Not quite sure what kind of “meat” this was put they had long tails.
There were feral cats every where.
Mint. I will be growing this when I get home. I have fallen in love with mint tea.
This woman was making phyllo that she threw over a heated ball to cook. The layers are then filled with either meat, vegetables or cream, if it is for dessert.
And what would Morocco be without dates!
Would you like some mint with your camel?
Live chickens in the back of the stall are not alive when they reach the front.
For those with a sweet tooth. All packaged for Ramadan.

Next up, Morocco’s largest tannery and buying rugs.
