a morning of bread-baking, belly dancing and henna tattoos in an
authentic traditional Berber village in Tunisia. So what's next for
our adventurers?! LUNCH!!
That's right....after all the activities already provided by the
village and the family who run it, they also served us lunch. Lunch
was served at a long family style table inside one of the buildings
in the village and was served by members of the family that run the
village. There was, of course, berber bread (like the bread we baked
in the stone oven outside----even though Jason is a man LOL) and then
they served a really nice tomato soup that had an orzo type pasta in
it. This was followed by an appetizer dish that I believe they
called a "brick"----it was basically scrambled eggs (and I think
spinach??) inside a deep fried shell. Then came the main course----
chicken served over cous cous with some vegetables (like sweet
potatoes and, I believe, cabbage and carrots) in it and over which
they poured one of two kinds of flavor sauce. One they called "hot
sauce" and was clearly made with hot peppers----it had a pretty good
kick. The second, a milder version, they referred to as "baby
sauce" (because, apparently, if you needed to eat that one you must
be a baby....LOL. Never being one to shy away from spicy foods, I
opted for the hot sauce.
