I know it’s always so silly to do American stuff in a foreign country.
But I was in Tangier for a while, and I have the palatte of a 5-year old, and fast food is cheap!
While walking around the city, I did check out a few of the American places.
I stopped at the fanciest McDonald’s I’ve ever seen! It was so clean and gorgeous with an outdoor patio. And they had various things we didn’t have – including jalapeño poppers (or as they call it, croquettes au fromage relevees au poivron).
KFC doesn’t have tons of stuff they normally do (like macaroni & cheese, mashed potatoes, etc.). [In America, I think of KFC as super vegetarian friendly because they have a bunch of things like that. At KFC in Morocco, practically everything has meat.]
I had some delicious Starbucks (yummy, yummy). [It was multiple miles each way, so I think I walked off any Starbucks calories I had.]
And I think that pretty much wraps up the silly American things I did while in Tangier. [There was a Pizza Hut within walking distance. And I always meant to go there, but I’m assuming it’s a lot like the Pizza Hut in America. Maybe next time!]
Oh! Actually, one last silly thing.
The hotel manager guy I told you who was going above and beyond?
One day I was talking to him about grilled cheese sandwiches. He had never heard of the concept. They don’t have them at all in Morocco, but then they made me some! [I wasn’t like being so American asking for some, but just when he was asking me about food I liked, he clocked that and sent me a grilled cheese.]
Wild. The hospitality in Morocco is unmatched.
