    We eat raw olive oil with bread for breakfast. Trust me, it’s actually more disgusting than everyone thinks.

    Imagine a country physically located in Africa that has more influence from the Arab world and the European [sub]continent than local influence. Your average citizen can speak like, 3 languages, and there’s certainly some that can speak more than that. We even participated in the Eurovision Song Contest at one point (biggest regret imo).

    Have you ever heard of Pokimane? What about Loreen? Chances are they have ethnic roots from this country. Oh, and Faouzia too.

    There’s so many mosques here. I’m not against practicing religion, but I have to say that there’s probably too many mosques, when a couple hundred is more than enough for everyone. Try appropriately 40 thousand. And the state actually wants to build more.

    Some Israeli company uses our argan oil for their skincare products. To this day, this remains my worst nightmare.

    Hospitality.

    You guys really need to try our couscous. It’s delicious.

    Hey, I see you mentioned the USA in your post. Well guess what. It’s not France that first recognized them, it’s us.

    I gave you enough clues. The country is Morocco.

        Not only did we only participate once for a single year, it ended up being a poor result, receiving only 7 points from Italy and getting 18th/19. The Moroccan broadcaster chose not to return. It’s actually even more of a problem now because of… things that happen that offend the Moroccan state, such as LGBT rights. Also, Israel participating would result in massive boycotts if Morocco participates alongside them.

        There’s more churches than businesses in my county here, I completely understand that setinen-

        Yeah, counties are small. Morocco is bigger than most European countries.

        u wot mate

        Yep. It’s actually true.

        Anyway that’s all the additional stuff I have to say.

      Do you season or do anything special to the couscous?. Over here it’s just served plain and I always wondered if other countries seasoned or prepared theirs differently.
