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.

Oh man I actually love the raw olive oil, especially on msemmen (I'm half moroccan)

Good for you. Msemmen is actually quite good though.
