Managing meals in Morocco

@Cheryl

Managing meals in Morocco? hmmm

you don’t “manage” anything here.

You just sit, and suddenly there are 14 dishes, 9 breads, 4 teas, and one confused stomach.

Hahaha, Heart Collector! I really like your answer. 😆

You raised a very good point. Maybe it takes some time for that confused stomach to get used to this new way of eating.

And that brings us back to my questions above.  They are meant to help new expatriates understand how to better handle all these changes by seeing how other members did.

Cheers,

Cheryl

Managing meals day-to-day can sometimes be a real mental challenge, even more so when you land in a new environment, with different schedules, habits or ingredients.
