Traditionally a moroccan dinner is several courses in succession - salads, then a chicken tagine, followed by a vegetable tagine, and if it is Friday, an enormous couscous. Other days it would be a meat or fish dish. In modern Morocco, it is more likely to be salads, a variety of two or three, served with a single large tagine.
Bread is very important, and served with every meal. The traditional is a round flat loaf, served in wedges, to absorb the fabulous sauce from the tagine.
Dessert is usually fresh fruit, the best of what is in season - after a full moroccan dinner, nothing else could be managed!
Tea with fresh mint is the completion of the meal.
