The biggest meal of the day in Morocco is lunch, and dinner isn’t served until very late, usually 9 or 10 o’clock in the evening.  To whittle away at the hunger that inevitably pops up between the two meals, Moroccans will take tea.  Just like the traditional English teatimes, small cookies or other pastries are usually served alongside.  Moroccans are known for both their collective sweet tooth and their hospitality, so few things scream ‘Morocco!’ more than a full service with a freshly steeped pot of mint tea and traditional pastries on the side, such as fakkas or gribbas.
