You can probably guess at my verdict, but read all about it at:

I love Moroccan food! But I don't think I've ever had the wrinkly olives. :) Seeing as I'm a little bit obsessed with olives, I'm going to have to find those!
ReplyDeleteIt was so good! I'm thinking I have to learn to cook some.
DeleteI have to admit that I've been to Moroccan food only once (if not, probably twice!). How sad, right? I've been to this famous Moroccan place in San Francisco too (forgot the name but he's a famous Moroccan cookbook author). If I were in Boston... I'd totally tag along with you! ^_^
ReplyDeleteIf you remember the name, let me know! I wouldn't mind looking up the cookbook.
