Foods that I haven't eaten, or even seen, include hummus and falafel. I have been incredibly surprised that there is no hummus anywhere. How weird.
I have seen occasionally, but have not eaten, pita bread. People eat more substantial bread. Makes sense.
Today I ate spaghetti and pizza which was kind of funny. Yesterday I ate rice and milk for dinner which was also funny (seriously, just a plate of rice). This family clearly makes dinner as somewhat of an afterthought.. hah. It's always very simple stuff with few vegetables like... a plate full of rice or pasta.
Lunches on the other hand are... uh, better. For example today we had some really good chicken, tomatoes (they were spiced in a certain way so as to be absolutely delicious with bread, but I have no idea how exactly it was made), and a cauliflower thing.
I eat meat every day, which surprised me but in retrospect it shouldn't. Meat is simply really abundant here because of the sea and the general abundance of pastures and whatnot.
In general food is of lower quality than in Fes, because I think our host mom in Fes just spent a lot more time making food.
