It is rated one of the most diverse in the world because of ages of interaction with other cultures. The taste is exotic, full of rich and deep earthy flavors. Moroccans consider eating both a practical and social ritual in this land of good and abundant food. If you have not had Harira, Kouskous, pastilla, lemon olive chicken or kababs you just had food to fill up your belly. The most popular drink and the number one ritual of the day in Moroccan cuisine is the mint tea which accompanies most meals and without which no social gathering is to be held.

Such gestures of friendship are what turn a somewhat plain holiday into a great cultural experience.
