Street snacks in Fes

The Moroccan version of fuul. It's called Bessara here. It's made with fava beans of course but it's completely different from the fuul in Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Yemen. It's more like a soup here than in the other countries. I rate it fourth out of the five countries.



Lots of different breads are available, many made with corn flour or other grains



In the evening guys push pastry carts around the streets. These were the best.



Harira, the traditional Moroccan soup for breaking the fast during Ramadan. Also available at other times of the year. Made with tomatoes, onions, saffron, corriander leaves, lentils, and of course chickpeas.



These look like nuts but are actually a kind of fruit with a seed in the middle. Eating them is the reverse of eating sunflower seeds. You do a little chewing to remove the seed but then the seed is the part you spit out and the rest you eat.



Some kind of berry. Depending on who you talk to it's either good for the stomach or will give you diarrhea.



It just looks like cereal but is actually couscous in some kind of milk, certainly not the kind of milk you get at the food store back home. Just the kind of thing I like to try off the street in a Third World country!



I found Caliente here. It's different though, much thicker both in size and consistency.
