My summary is about Berber food of the Riff mountains. I interviewed Fatimah el-Youssi who is a Berber from the Riff mountains. if you don't know where the Riff mountains are it is in northern Morocco.
most popular Berber dish of that country is cous cous with honey meat and vegetables. The meat they most of the time use for that dish is sheep,chicken,goat and not pigeon because it costs too much. The spices they use are salt,black pepper
and paprika. Their is no foreign influence on Berber spices all the spices are from Morocco. The vegetables they use for this dish is carrots,peas,beans,tomato,parsly,garlic,green pepper it all depends on if it is in season. They eat it with whole wheat bread.
Dessert is raisins,grapes and figs or dry figs depends on season if it is figs season they eat fresh figs if it is not figs
season they dry it. They drink sour milk which they drink after or before dinner and they also drink tea. I think they should preserve the Berber food because it is unique and part of their identity to be enjoyed by everyone.

Life as a South-African living in Morocco

Morocco is more safe than South-Africa because you wont get stab or mug walking in the streets late at night so do not go out late at night in South-Africa. South - Africa is much more beautiful and has more animals and beautiful birds and nice clean beaches that Morocco does not have. The roads in South-Africa are in good conditions and is in more order than here in Morocco. Everyone in South-Africa obeys the traffic rules except the minibus drivers so do not take a minibus in Johannesburg. Morocco you can just hunt boars and birds in South-Africa you have more of a variety to hunt and to see more extraordinary wild life animals. South - Africa has beautiful evening sunsets over the bush field,if you look at the sunset in Morocco you will only see TV dishes.The South-African currency is the same as Moroccos so it does not make much of a difference.So this is my meaning why South-Africa is better than Morocco.
