Hey everyone and welcome back to the channel. 
Today we’re embarking on an incredible culinary journey through the vibrant streets of Morocco. 
Forget the fancy restaurants for a moment because the real heart and soul of Moroccan cuisine 
is found right here on the bustling sidewalks and in the lively suk. From sizzling grills to 
bubbling pots of soup, we’re about to explore the absolute best of Moroccan street food. So, 
grab a virtual seat and let’s dive in. First up, let’s talk about something you’ll see and 
smell everywhere. The grill. The aroma of charcoal and spices is the signature scent of the 
Moroccan street food scene. The undisputed king of the grill has to be the brochet. These are 
skewers of marinated meat. Think tender lamb, juicy beef, or flavorful chicken grilled to smoky 
perfection. They’re often served simply with a piece of traditional Moroccan bread known as cobs 
to soak up all those delicious juices alongside some grilled tomatoes and onions. It’s simple, 
it’s classic, and it’s absolutely mouthwatering. Now, if you like a bit more spice in your life, 
you have to try kefta skewers. Instead of chunks of meat, kefta is made from ground beef or lamb 
that s been mixed with a fragrant blend of spices like cumin, paprika, and fresh herbs. It s molded 
onto the skewer and grilled until it s beautifully charred on the outside and incredibly tender on 
the inside. The depth of flavor is just unreal. And let’s not forget M’s sausages. These spicy 
red sausages are a flavor explosion. They’re usually grilled and served in a baguette for a 
quick and satisfying sandwich or just on their own with a side of bread. The heat from the spices 
is perfectly balanced by the smoky flavor from the grill. But what if you’re looking for something 
a bit different? Maybe something fried? Morocco has you covered. Let me introduce you to Makuda. 
These are golden deep fried potato fritters or patties. They’re crispy on the outside, fluffy 
on the inside, and often seasoned with a little bit of cumin and turmeric. You’ll often find them 
stuffed into a piece of bread, creating a simple but incredibly comforting sandwich. It’s Moroccan 
comfort food at its finest. And speaking of fried goodness, if you find yourself near the coast, 
you absolutely cannot miss the fried sardines or sardines fre. These small fresh sardines are 
lightly coated and fried until they’re perfectly crispy. They’re often served, you guessed it, 
in a piece of bread. Sometimes alongside that mucuda we just talked about, with a sprinkle of 
salt and cumin. It’s a true taste of the Moroccan seaside. Now, let’s talk sandwiches, or as they’re 
often called, casout. The most iconic one is the bokeh lobe. But this isn’t your average sandwich. 
It’s a generous baguette packed with an amazing variety of ingredients. You might find tuna, 
grilled meats, fluffy omelets, salty olives, and tangy pickled vegetables all piled high. 
Every vendor has their own special combination, making it an adventure every time you order one. 
The generic term sandwich or casout opens up a world of possibilities. You can customize it with 
whatever the vendor has on offer that day. Maybe some savory fried liver, crispy fish, or different 
kinds of meat. It’s a meal that’s built just for you. A special mention has to go to the bat bout 
sandwich. Instead of a crusty baguette, this one uses bat bout, which is a wonderfully soft 
round pitter-like bread. It’s cooked on a pan, so it puffs up, creating the perfect pocket for 
all sorts of delicious fillings. The soft texture of the bread makes for a completely different 
and equally amazing sandwich experience. And sometimes the simplest things are the best. On a 
cool evening, there’s nothing quite like grabbing a freshly grilled corn on the cob, seasoned with 
a bit of salt and spices. It’s warm, sweet, smoky, and just perfect. Of course, no street food 
tours is complete without some savory pastries. The most famous is the briuat. These are small 
triangular pastries made from flaky walker dough similar to fo. They are deep fried until golden 
and crispy and can have a variety of fillings. Savory versions might be stuffed with minced meat, 
cheese, or vegetables. They are the perfect little chew bite snack. You’ll also find pastries that 
look a bit like samosas or empanadas. Small savory turnovers filled with delicious spiced mixtures. 
Each one is a little pocket of joy. When the sun starts to set or on a chilly day, there’s nothing 
better than a warm bowl of soup. And in Morocco, soup is a serious business. The most famous is 
Herrera. This is a hearty and traditional soup made with a tomato base packed with lentils, 
chickpeas, and sometimes small pieces of meat. It’s seasoned with a beautiful blend of spices and 
often thickened with a bit of flour or noodles. It’s especially popular during Ramadan to break 
the fast, but you can find it year round. It’s a full meal in a bowl. Another incredibly popular 
soup, especially for breakfast or in the winter, is bizara. This is a thick, rustic soup made 
from dried father beans and sometimes split peas. It’s slowcooked until it’s creamy, then served hot 
with a generous drizzle of good quality olive oil and a sprinkle of cumin. It’s simple, warming, and 
deeply satisfying. And for the more adventurous eaters, there’s babouch or snail soup. You’ll see 
huge pots of this bubbling away in the evenings. The snails are cooked in a very flavorful 
aromatic broth with a secret blend of spices. Don’t be shy. It’s a beloved local delicacy 
for a reason. While you’re walking around, you might see vendors selling simple snacks 
like heas kimoon. These are just well-cooked chickpeas served warm and seasoned generously 
with cumin and salt. It’s a healthy protein-packed snack that’s surprisingly addictive. You might 
also spot touka being served. It’s a delicious cooked salad made from roasted tomatoes and bell 
peppers mashed together with garlic, olive oil, and spices. It’s often served as a side, but 
it’s so good you could eat it with a spoon. Now, we can’t talk about Moroccan food without 
talking about the incredible variety of breads and pancakes. Aimmen is a mutry. It’s a flaky pan 
fried square flatbread made from layers of thin dough. You can have it plain drizzled with honey 
or stuffed with a savory filling of spiced onions and meat which is called McMan far. Then there’s 
harka, a dense crumbly flatbread made from It has a unique slightly gritty texture and is amazing 
when served warm with butter and honey or jam. For something truly unique, look for Aziza. It looks 
like a little nest and is made from incredibly thin strands of dough that are coiled together. 
It’s light, chewy, and delicious with honey or cheese. And if you have a sweet tooth, you need 
to find Svenge. These are Moroccan donuts, light, airy, deep fried rings of dough. They’re often 
sold hot, straight from the fryer, and you can have them plain or dusted with sugar. They are 
the ultimate breakfast treat. And of course, there’s cobs, the traditional round Moroccan 
bread that is the foundation of almost every meal. It’s baked daily, often in communal ovens, 
and has a wonderful crust and soft interior. What’s a meal without something sweet to 
finish? A classic Moroccan sweet you’ll find on the streets is chbakia. These are sesame and 
honey cookies, intricately shaped like flowers, deep fried, and then coated in warm honey. They 
are fragrant, sticky, and absolutely divine. You’ll also find a huge variety of almond pastries 
like Griber cookies or sweet almond filo arts. And to wash it all down, Morocco has some of the 
most refreshing drinks. Freshlysqueezed orange juice is sold by vendors everywhere and it ss 
some of the best ull ever taste. You’ll also find stalls blending up amazing mixed fruit juices 
and smoothies, often with avocado, banana, dates, and nuts. And for something a little different, 
try the freshly pressed sugar cane juice. It’s incredibly sweet and refreshing. You’ll also 
see vendors selling ra, a traditional Moroccan yogurt that’s thick, creamy, and slightly tangy. 
And finally, let’s not forget the simple things. Piles of marinated and spiced olives or zetune are 
a common sight, offering a burst of savory flavor. And in the summer, you’ll see vendors selling 
hendia or prickly pears. They’ll expertly peel the thorny fruit for you, revealing the sweet, 
juicy flesh inside. It’s the perfect way to cool down on a hot day. Wow, what a tour. Moroccan 
street food is an incredible tapestry of flavors, textures, and traditions. It s a feast for the 
senses and a true reflection of the country s warm and generous culture. I hope this has inspired
