#harrira

My parents are from Morocco, they are born in Europe but they both have a Moroccan taste. They love eating fritted fish, couscous, harrira and a lot of more traditional meals. I asked my mom a few questions to kind of know more about her way of eating. My mom is always on a diet, since I can remember she is always talking about her body and how bad she wants to lose some weight. She is already so thin and she still thinks that some things are unhealthy for her. Imagine we go to the restaurant, my mom is always the one who orders water and a small footplate. She never chooses large ore medium, even though she’s very hungry she would drink a lot of water to fill up her stomach and then she would start to eat. She is a small person and always chooses the healthy side of food. Fruit and vegetables are things that she really likes. Mom also have certain days in the month were she does eat what she wants. What we call a cheat day.

My dad is has a easy eat style. He eat everything that he wants to eat. He looks out for his health but a lot of times he is just eating for the fun. He is a big fan of meat, he always buy fish and chicken when he’s doing grocery. My father isn’t that hard to convince to eat something, he agrees with everything. I just know that he gets excited of Moroccan food. My father also has problems with his heart, that’s why he is watching that he doesn’t get a lot of salt in his food. The doctor said that it’s increasing the pressure. Except that he is doing fine and he still enjoys the art of food. He loves all the different sorts of drinks and meals. He also cooks a lot, so he knows how to make certain meals. He just loves to add something to the recipe that is authentic
