Filling Ftour
Hello,
The past two nights we have had ftour, or breakfast, but for dinner. The traditional dinner consists of harira, a tomato based soup that can include many different things but at the dar last night we had a pumpkin soup that tasted more like squash than American pumpkin. At the beginning of the meal say bismala, and eat a date. The meal also includes lots of bread and hardboiled eggs, and shpekia fried dough with sesames and honey. Of course the meal includes lots of tea and coffee. The food is really good and filling. Everyone keeps insisiting we eat more so we go to bed very full. The dinner starts after the call to prayer after sunset and all of fez is filled with prayer and it is really beautiful except when it is three in the morning and the call wakes us up. Looking forward to tajine.
Bismila,
Kate
