Traditional Street Foods From Around the World

In Moroccan markets, especially during breakfast hours, you’ll find vendors stretching and frying msemen, a square-shaped flatbread made from semolina and flour. It’s pan-fried until golden, often served with honey or soft cheese and paired with a glass of mint tea.

Though msemen can be eaten sweet or savory, it’s loved for its flaky layers and buttery texture. Watching it being made—folded expertly by hand and cooked on flat grills—is a treat in itself, offering a glimpse into Morocco’s artisanal food traditions.
