Aswak Assalam
 The electronics section is very similar.  They have Swedish itty bitty washing machines for people that live in itty bitty apartments.  Since people there don't eat out hardly ever there is a lot of cooking at home. They also rarely eat prepared foods. Everything is fresh and made from scratch. 25 choices of flour  25 choices of oils  25 choices of olives. I shit you not, 25 different types of olives.  25 choices of bottled water  |

Does the number 25 hold some special significance?

Oh and most of the meat and vegetables are bought in the local neighborhood market. Totally fresh. If anyone is interested I will post pics. Some I've posted before.

25, but I didn't try any. I did drive through the area where it is prevalent. The Rif mountains. I didn't see any. |

Fascinating pix - Thanks for posting!
I guess I could understand consumer demand for many different kinds of olives in that part of the world...but 25 different kinds of flour?

Reminds me of stores in the big Mexican cities - Except that the flour girl would be over in the beer section instead...and would be wearing a lot less clothing!

Serious question. Was there any pork products in the meat section?
|
|

Posted: 4/17/2008 2:18:10 AM EDT
[#16]
No. I looked at just about every single item too. But it really didn't surprise me. Muslims and Jews make up over 99% of the population. There just isn't enough pork eaters to support a market. I suppose you could find some in Casablanca but not the smaller cities. I do know my wife's Dad used to hunt hog and bring it back and they would eat it. |

They can't drive for shit period. This little traffic jam took about six guys and five minutes to get unsnagged. It was fun to watch. There was lots and lots of yelling, threatening and rude gestures.

No. Only in the fresh markets. The fresh meat counter at the package stores are small. Everyone buys from the neighborhood stores. Literaely you never really need to go further than 3 or 4 blocks from your house. Everything you need is sold by small stores in that radius. And some are SMALL. Like this little grocery. It only went about 3 feet to the right. That is it.

I think its takes lot of time to walk down to my local store, how do they have time to walk to different stores to buy meat.

Everything is close. I would walk to the local vege market, meat market and grocery store and buy everything we needed for a day and be back in less than 30 minutes. And that was with stopping to take pics. I walked less than a half a mile there and back.

Yes, either from the South or from one of the sub Saharan countries. Moroccans don't like them much. About $50, yes. |

I think it would bother me to have to buy meat that hangs out for all the bugs and flies to get on. Or is it a bonus when you buy meat and get bug meat with it.

For me easy, a little harder for my wife. She has a green card but the actual document was expired and she had an extension letter from INS. It took about 30 minutes to get that sorted out over there. If you are talking about travel, it was really easy. There are daily flights from NY to Casa. |

They keep the areas really clean. I don't remember flies. I think I would have remembered becaue I HATE flies. There was a shitload of feral nasty cats in certain areas though. |
