Olives, Preserved Lemons, Happiness


The abundance of olives in this country still has us reeling...we keep discussing how much we pay for a small tray of olives from an olive bar in the US....compared to the affordable and glorious piles of olives and buckets of preserved lemons here.  To give you an idea of the contrast, in the grocery store they are running a promotion: buy 2 packages of spaghetti and get a free 15 oz bottle of olive oil! The pictures below are from the 'olives' section of the market in Casablanca.  Stalls and stalls of olives piled high. Again: happiness.
