I never heard of Tagines until they were on both Jamie's and Gordon's cooking shows on C4 about a week apart (maybe they were trying to save budget and made them share hotel rooms).
They look awesome, sort of like exotic hot-pot. Mmm, I miss hot-pot. With whole chops.

These are places which put the fast 'food' in little heated compartments and the customers put a coin in a slot to release said 'food'. The kebab/frikadel/kroket thingy may have festered in the heated compartment for some hours at a temperature optimized for bacterial growth before consumption. Very popular among Dutch people, I have yet to meet another foreigner who would even consider placing said sample in his mouth.

In an aside, I backpacked round Morocco for a month a few years ago and was very glad to see a McDonalds in Rabat rather than the usual fly infested rice and salad and charred lamb ribs.
Granted, some of the food in Morocco was quite nice - but nobody really eats what you see in all these crappy expensive cook books.

At the Channel you'll see these Irish juggernauts and half of them are full of Irish knik-knaks to use in the places, and most of them are crap and expensive...

Perhaps deliberately, they've left the original McDonald's floor tiles in place. Patrons could often be seen staring at the floor, wondering why that tile pattern looked so familiar.

Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostMe neither, though after having a quick squint at what comprises a Kebab, they are perhaps not as bad as they appear. To me they look like cylinders of mixtures of mechanically recovered meat of dubious origin left to fester in a warm environment until such time that the purveyors notice that customers are becoming ill before they even leave the premises.
