Jim's Bachelor's Party Dinner
We took Jim out for a Bachelor's party dinner at Dar Mahgreb in Hollywood.
Nico explaining the menu and how the meals are served and eaten.
Introductions
There were drinks...
and more drinks...
We learned that Morocco is not known in the "beer" world for a reason.
So, 7/7s, gin and tonic, rum and coke... well, anything but that beer!
An indication on how messy this meal could get was the "Costco"-sized TOWELS they gave us for napkins!
I told Sergio to take the picture since he had a better angle. I didn't tell him to include me in it!
So they got there on time. We were a half hour late. How many drinks did they have before we got there?
The meal was communal. This was the first course and I mean WAS! We were so hungry that I kept forgetting to take a "before" picture. The first course was Harira, the traditional lentil soup and 3 types of marinated salads of eggplant, tomato and carrot.
and bread and more drinks...
The second course was B'stilla, a flaky chicken pie with almonds. Again I forgot to take a before picture.
and then more drinks...
It took a while to get used to eating with our hands and no utensils. The pie was a little on the hot side.
I finally got a picture of the third course before we "tore"into it! This was a roasted lemon chicken...good!
The fourth course was Lahm Mrovzia. Broasted honey lamb with prunes. I think that was the best dish. By then I was already pretty full!
but we gave it a good try!
but the lamb won! We didn't even make a respectable dent on it. We needed the stomach of "Tasty Pants" to finish it off.
We just couldn't finish it off.
The party behind us taking pictures with the belly dancer will have this in the background of every shot... hahahaha!!!
She asked if this was "guys night out."
When we told her Jim was getting married... she made him dance... he tried...
Ok, nevermind...
The fifth course was couscous with steamed vegetables and a very spicy sauce in those bowls.
The sixth and sevent courses were assorted fruits and nuts, green tea with mint and Moroccan cookies.
No one wanted to be the one who took the last cookie.
This was a huge meal! I think Jim was doing what all of us were thinking...
