Eating in Morocco is considered one of the most important parts of the day, and meals are prepared lovingly with a variety of ingredients. Important dishes include couscous, bread, and preserves such as pickled lemons and olives, many meals include lamb in a variety of forms, although spicy stews are common.
A meal is considered to be a gift in Moroccan homes, and due to the importance on hospitality in Islam, people you do not know will often invite you to dinner as a sign of openness. You should eat with the thumb and first two fingers of your right hand, and continue to eat as long as everyone else. As a guest, the hosts look to you for when you have had enough, and when you finish, so will they.
Most meals are accompanied with mint tea, and you should drink about 3 glasses and no more, or you will be seen as a glutton.
In a domestic setting, women sit apart from men, and you should respect local traditions no matter what your opinion of such segregation is.
If you compliment an attractive item in the hose you are a guest in, the host will often present it to you as a gift, so be careful, and don't start asking for everything you see, or you'll struggle to carry it all home.
Restaurants in the main cities of Morocco such as Casablanca and Marrakech will typically offer excellent food, and good value for money, although the rituals associated with eating in a private house are less observed.
