Cuisines of Earth, Tuesday

"Good afternoon," Hannibal greeted them all when they arrived at Portalocity. "We're heading to Morocco today. It's in Africa, the continent south of the one we last went to, at the northern end."

He led them through the portal and into a bustling street surrounded by stalls. "Marrakech, Morocco," he explained. "Morocco has been a hub of trade for centuries, and its spices and cuisine reflect that. Mediterranean and Arabic cuisines are the strongest influences, and olive oil, fruits, grains, and a number of meats, including lamb, are common."

He led them further down the street. "Today we will be eating at Dar Cherifa, a restaurant meant as a calm oasis in the midst of the souks - the markets. It features a fairly traditional and varied menu. I will order a number of things for us, and you're welcome to order your own as well."

He nodded at the waiter as they were led to their table. "The predominant languages here are Arabic and Berber, but most people will also speak French, and some will know Spanish or English. Please don't hesitate to ask should you have any questions."

If anyone was likely to wind up lost in the market, it would probably be Libby, who was trying so hard not to gawk as she soaked everything in with complete fascination and interest that she'd nearly forgotten what they were there for to begin with.

Oh, Nell would be buying whatever spices and slips of plants she could get her hands on!

Oh, this reminded Kurt of the markets they had seen during the school trip! He was definitely going to do at least a little wandering around to check things out, and maybe buy something too!

Liz had never tried Moroccan so she was looking over what options were available and what choices would be safe for her to eat.

Was anyone surprised that Guillermo managed to get lost in the market? He was looking around at what he could find and then managed to find some stall owners who spoke Spanish, got distracted and so he was spending quite a bit of time conversing with them for quite a while and getting suggestions for different recipes he should try and make.

Jo did not recognise any of the food so she was looking a little lost as she tried to decide what she wanted to try.

Alara was quite interested in trying some different cuisine from Earth, she wasn’t sure what anything was but she was eager to try some Moroccan cuisine.
