Morocco

I went to Marrkech for Easter this year. It wasn't my cup of tea to be honest - way too busy, IMO I thought it looked run down & dirty. There isn't that much to do apart from haggle with shop keepers & sight seeing is limited to a couple of palaces & a handful of Mosques. The main square at night is a good experience and as long as you don't mind stinking of smoke you'll be fine. Didn't get hassled at all but then I was with Matt. Found the locals to be very friendly & helpful.
We stayed here: www.casalalla.com which is an amazing place. The staff are fantastic, it's a little oasis of calm just away from the main square. And the food is out of this world! A six course meal cooked by a chef with 3 Michelin stars. Amazing. I would go back just to stay there again.

Well yes of course! But I don't understand your point...it's not like I'm on a one man mission to change their moral fabric is it? :lol:

They used to serve sheep brain pie in La Barraca years ago, not sure if they still do?
Anyway it looked vile. :lol:

I suppose it's no worse than the part of the sheep the Scots eat :lol:
(though I'll admit, I do like haggis!)
 
Sheep brain sounds quite interesting actually 8O

This thread has made me want to go to morroco now :lol:

Hows the alcohol situation out there - only hotels and stuff?
 
I used to eat sheep brain when I was younger and it was yummy, as long as you forget what is it exactly it's good

ah haggis is good - really really yummy, especially with all the right bits to go with it (is it creamed parsnips or something?)

The most shocking thing is the texture, it's really weird.
I used to eat it like donoughts filled with brains, but haven't reat them for years.

Home made ones.
Tecnically it's not donoughts, it's a "buñuelo", but you don't have "buñuelo" and my translator says dnoughts :D

Alcohol: Offcially not allowed, but there are loads of bars and a few clubs, Pacha Included. Most bars are attached to a restaurant but you can bar hop if you know your way around. I got drunk loads!!:D

Jah Mahal was my favourite bar. Gorgeous.
