Tajine Tafraoute Project
quest for the perfect tajine
my non-tajine tajine experience (Tajine, San Francisco)
Author: doritkliemann01.05.2008
Well, I have to say in advance I’m very picky with food generally..once I find something I really like (not happens that often) in a restaurant I stick with that choice without trying a new order… (that may be relevant background information).
So I ordered a chicken sandwich - tajine seemed t be too dangerous since I didn’t even understand the listed ingredients..I’m German
so non/native speaker..) -..anyway, I thought that is a more ’safe choice’ and because there were also listed some crazy other ingredients (other than from ‘chicken’ and sandwich’), especially the ‘original spices’ I decided to go for it.
When my dish arrived I was very shocked (see picture)…I got fries…urg.. (well I like fries, but I didn’t expected fries at all in that original moroccan restaurant….)….about the sandwich I can say, it was better and more moroccan than expected: the spices we’re very delightful, the unknown taste was great and after I tried a real tajjine-bite from Anna, I have to say I found the basic taste in my sandwich too…

Summing up: If you’re in a moroccan restaurant, order no chicken sandwich but take the risk and try something you haven’t ate before… ( I will, promise for next time)
