RE: 🇹🇳 If the Steemit Team Came to Tunisia: A Picnic with the Taste of a Whole Country
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I think there are many more delicious Tunisian foods, because it was quite tricky for you to choose only three. 😄
Brik, slata mechouia, and makroudh are all new to me. I searched online to learn more about these dishes, and they all look delicious. I would really love to try Tunisian brik with tuna, egg, and lemon first. It sounds tasty and also seems like a healthy choice. After that, I would definitely like to try something sweet, and I think makroudh would be a great choice to finish the meal.
By the way, is there any meat-based Tunisian dish that you would recommend? I really enjoy beef, chicken, and mutton dishes, so I would love to know which meat dish I should try first.
Haha, yes, choosing only three was definitely the hardest part. Tunisian food has so many dishes that I felt a little guilty leaving the others out.
I think you made a good choice starting with brik, especially with tuna, egg and a squeeze of lemon, although I should warn you that it is fried, so I wouldn’t exactly call it the healthiest thing on the table. But when it is hot and crispy, it is really hard to resist.
For a meat dish, since you enjoy beef, chicken and mutton, I would personally recommend Tunisian couscous with lamb first. The meat becomes very tender and the couscous absorbs all the flavor from the sauce, vegetables and spices, so it gives you a really complete idea of Tunisian home cooking. If you prefer something more grilled and smoky, then merguez would be another great choice, especially with bread, salad and a little harissa on the side.
So your tasting order is getting serious now: brik first, lamb couscous after that, and makroudh with mint tea to finish. At this point, I think you would need to come to Tunisia very hungry.
