This particular platter posted is from a café in the Tunisian resort city of Sousse, about 2.5 hours by train from the capital city of Tunis.
What's interesting about Franco-influenced Arab cuisine is the flood of bread with every meal, even more prevalent than in France. The North African region gives a basket of baguette slices its own twist-- by serving it with the chili pepper paste known as harissa blended with olive oil.
See the empty bowl in the background with red smears? That was harissa.
My travels have renewed my interest in checking out the halal butcher in my neighborhood.
don't you find it interesting that even in Africa, you get fries with a meal. Clearly there's already rice. It appears America's bad eating habits influence everyone.
