Morocco Time

I read a great blog written by a local “Columbus-ite,” and she just posted a meme about the 8 foods she won’t give up, originally found on Slashfood. Here are mine, and I longed for them every day in Morocco.

Mountain Dew – ok, not a food, but nectar of the gods nonetheless.

Butter – properly salted, preferably sea salt, mmm.

Cheese – Except for blue cheese – I had it once on a flight to France, and could never eat it again. But manchego, or sharp cheddar, oh joy.

Indian food – Fine, not a single ingredient food, but I could live on Indian food and never tire of it.

Sushi – The best sushi I ever had was in Rabat, isn’t that crazy?

Fried Potatoes – Especially when my Dad makes them. You practically have to stab my hand with a fork to get any for yourself.

Crab Legs – I once ate so many for an “All-You-Can-Eat” crab leg special, that the manager had to come out to tell me that they ran out, and he comped my meal and those of my 3 friends. Woo! No, the friends weren’t helping me eat them.

Chocolate – I like Hershey’s chocolate, being so close to PA and all.

Strong Irish Tea – Don’t speak to me before 10am unless I’ve had a cuppa.

Oops, that was 9. I have a lot of favorites. What have I given up, for the most part? First, alcohol – I have a margarita once in a blue moon. Second, pork – because I sort of like piggies. They’re really intelligent and affectionate, and I feel bad using them in my Scotch Eggs recipe.
