Cuisine Similarities
Most of the North African countries have several similar dishes, sometimes almost the same dish with a different name (the Moroccan tangia and the Tunisian coucha are both essentially the same dish: a meat stew prepared in an urn and cooked overnight in a public oven), sometimes with a slight change in ingredients and cooking style. Additionally, two entirely different dishes may share the same name. There are noticeable differences between the cooking styles of different regions – there are sophisticated, full-bodied dishes prepared in Moroccan palace cookery, spicy dishes that are common in Tunisian cuisine, and simpler dishes prepared in various regions and countries.
