North African cuisine
Hi, how are you doing?
It is already December and I can't believe it... I feel it's really first to time went by.
I took a cold last week and I could not attend this IE Seminar class;(((
These days It became colder and colder so please be careful for yourself not to take a cold like me!
Today, I will introduce one short video related to the book I choose on YouTube.
Here is the URL. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VKlJGZN79A
In this video, a woman is introducing North African cuisine in Paris.
As I wrote on last posts, I'm reading a book related to the food culture in the Near East, Middle East, and North Africa. So this video is good for me to know about North African food culture.
North African influences can be seen all around Paris. She was in a restaurant called "Comptoir" located in a central of Paris. Mr.Philippe says North African cuisine is very flavorful , strong spices all around and we really have to appriciate a style of food that's very sweet and salty because there 's strong tendency towards such flavors.
Tajine looks very tasty and the inside of the restraunt has really good atmosphere. I would like to visit this restaurant some day!
Thank you for reading.

It's always interesting to see how ethnic cuisines are transformed to better accommodate local tastes. Chinese and Japanese food in the States, for example, are much more likely to include large quantities of meat (Broccoli beef is very popular in US Chinese restaurants, and shabu shabu or Kobe Beef is more common in American Japanese restaurants than it is in restaurants in Japan. The North African dishes in the video seem to be less spicy and also more meaty in their French versions than in their original African ones.
