Food & Cultural Appreciation, Tuesday Third Period

[carbsliftthespirit]

"All right, everyone," Raiden said to his assembled students, "today we are going to beautiful Marrakesh, Morocco, where it is going to be hot, topping 100 degrees Fahrenheit, so I hope you got my message and dressed appropriately, both for the weather and for local customs--no uncovered shoulders or knees, please. While Marrakesh is used to tourists and you wouldn't get in trouble for wearing shorts, we're being respectful. The medina, or old town, of Marrakesh is a UNESCO World Heritage site, meaning it's been internationally recognized as significant and worthy of preservation, and that's where we're headed today. It's a great area full of markets and street vendors and, of course, delicious food. We'll have some time to explore and sample the local street food, maybe do some shopping if you're into that kind of thing, and then we'll stop in at a restaurant and have a delicious tajine for lunch? Sound like a plan? Great! Let's go!"

Just before they went through the portal Raiden added, "Oh, and if there's anything particular you want me to tell anyone who might be visiting this weekend, you should probably let me know now." He'd lie for you if necessary, but he needed to know what lies were being told, guys.

Have some street food and explore Moroccan cuisine, followed by a delicious tajine of chicken, lamb, or a vegetarian option.

Charlie was dressed in jeans and a band t-shirt and she was ready to try everything!

Graham was dressed how he was always dressed, which meant shoulders and knees were definitely covered....and so was prettt much everything else! Was he hot underneath that cloak and cap and those boots? Did it matter, when there was all this food to try??

Arden, wearing a long black dress and little jacket made from cunningly folding and pinning the dupatta Mrs. Khan had sent her, was only too happy to wander the streets of Marrakesh, trying pretty much anything that didn't have poultry in it.

The spleen was not her preference, but the snails were actually really good!

And the lamb tanjin...way too delicious.

Food adventures were becoming some of Belle's favorite sort.

She was quite taken with the variety of pickled things.
